Cruising cats: visit to TED
On 2006-03-27, Pamela Shirk penned:
"Annie Wxill" wrote in message ... Thanks for the good wishes and the suggestions. Our trip will be about 4,000 miles along the Eastern U.S. coastal and inland waterways and canals in parts of Canada. Our speed averages 7 miles per hour, depending on winds and currents. We will cover from 20 to 90 miles a day between stops. Even if you use the metric units, you can see that we are slow and almost always close to someplace. OOOOH, if you are going to be overnight anywhere in North Carolina, would you post it? We're within easy driving distance of Wilmington NC and reasonable driving distance of anywhere else on the coast. I'd love to see you and meet Rosie and Cinders, and knowing Rob, he'd love to stow away on your boat. Pam S. all kinds of excited Same question here. The Intercoastal Waterway goes within about 5 miles of my parents' house. They live very near Emerald Isle in NC. I was planning to visit them at some point this summer, anyway ... -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

You are doing part of one of my lifetime dreams in reverse. My goal (the really big, probably unattainable one) was to buy a boat, Preferably a Hatteras. And take it down the inland waterway on the east coast, down and across Panama and up to the Alaska inland waters. But I was a child when I dreamed this one up and it included my Dad who loves the ocean and his cousin who is really great with boats. They have both been gone for a while now. Jo |

Jo Jo, We have some friends in Western Canada, who plan to do your dream trip in reverse, i.e., go down the Pacific coast of the U.S., through the Panama Canal, up the Texas coast, etc. I hope at least part of your dream can come true. I'm sorry to hear about your dad and his cousin. Annie, crew for Rosie & Cinder |

Our schedule depends on weather. Also my father is not doing well, and I'll probably take some time to go to the West Coast to see him. Please contact me privately and I'll keep you informed of our progress. Annie, crew for Rosie & Cinder |

I'd love to see you and meet Rosie and Cinders, and knowing Rob, he'd love to stow away on your boat. Pam S. all kinds of excited I'm sure we will go to North Carolina and probably will stay in or near Wilmington. I don't know the exact schedule because our travel depends on weather. Also, as I've said, a bicycle would be a faster way to travel. We do plan to be out of the area by June 1, the start of hurricane season. I'd love to meet you and Rob. Please contact me privately, and I'll keep you informed of our progress. We've not had cell phone or Internet access for the last few days. The damage on the Gulf Coast is beyond imagination. We are in Port Arthur, Louisiana, now, and will be in Houma tomorrow night. We'll stay there a couple of days to do laundry and grocery shopping and to prepare for the long trek past New Orleans and across the Mississippi Sound. This will take several more days.

Patti Hi Patti, We will be in the N.Y. canal system. I'm not sure how much of the Erie Canal we will follow or which lake(s) we will cross. I do know we will turn north and pass through part of Canada. Right now, were planning our route to Florida day by day. I can be more precise when we get closer to you. Please email me privately and I'll provide more information later. Annie, crew for Cinder and Rosie |
