Is anyone else heading up the ICW soon?

I'm going to help take my Dad's boat from Palm Beach, FL up to his home in Annapolis, MD. He is a lifelong sailor who at the age of 80 bought a 44 ft power boat. We took the boat down to Florida last November and managed to run aground (rub bottom?) only 3 times. Our goal this trip is to never rub the bottom. We think we can do it!

Cheers,
-Mark

Good luck!! Watch out on the stretch between St. John's River and Fernandina. Notoriously bad.
 
We are currently residing in downtown Beaufort, NC within sight of the town docks. Please let me know if you plan to stop in Beaufort would be great to meet.

Done! I'd like to meet you and Pilgrim.
I think it'll come down to weather. If we can run offshore, we'll be out there. But Dad (he's 80 years old and far more spry than I am) & I have been beaten up enough that if the weather is snotty we prefer the comfort of the ICW. Hopefully we'll get a chance to meet.
Thanks
 
I am near Annapolis and would like to meet and see your boat (or any others) nearby! Thanks Paul

Hi, Paul! I bought my boat a few years ago and had the same request. I "toured" 2 other 38's and it was very helpful and enlightening! I'm just down the road in Cobb Island. I'm finishing up my refit and would be happy to show you around my boat.

Hi Ken thanks for replying. I can be reached at 443 852 2163...Paul
 
Hi Paul - just realized I never responded ... my boat is in Portland, OR & I was just in Annapolis taking my Dad's boat to his place in Annapolis from Florida. I'm usually out there for the Annapolis Boat show in October. Maybe the Morganeers should get together then for a beer.
 
Hi Mark...Ok I have to refurbish my neglected boat first having just bought her in April. Sure--Annapolis--October Thanks!
 
Anne and I are currently living within sight of the Beaufort, NC town docks. Please let us know when you are passing through the area. We really enjoy meeting other owners and cruisers.
