The Prep has begun…..

Doug’s bucket list trip begins in, hopefully, less than three weeks. We have been prepping for this trip to Florida for quite a while. It was originally supposed to happen in the fall of 2020, but a major pandemic called Covid-19 caused us to postpone our trip until this October.

Our to-do lists have been endless. We have been prepping the boat and trying to make sure we can document as much of this trip as possible. This is the first blog and a test to see if I can publish it correctly. The game plan is to blog at the end of every day to let you know we are still alive and how we are doing. Doug is learning to run his drone and I get to learn all the technical “stuff”. Uploading video and pictures as well as maintaining the blog and website are my jobs. I, also, get to be first mate, cook, and supporter.

This will be the trip of a lifetime and I know I will enjoy it and be so glad I did it, but right now the waiting and planning are killing me. I am a planner right down to the minute details. This trip is going to force me to fly by the seat of my pants in a sense. There are so many factors that will dictate each day. Weather, tide, locks, and bridges…oh my! Stay tuned for our departure around Columbus weekend (weather permitting).
