Default Cruising cats: visit to TED

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 ...

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,
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

Monique,
We are planning to be near New York by June 1, which is the beginning of
hurricane season.

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.

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.

Annie, crew for Rosie & Cinder

Are you going through the Erie/Barge Canal in NY? If so, drop me a
line. We are about 1 1/2 miles from where it goes through Oneida
Lake.

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.

Lots and lots of purrs and best wishes for your father, Annie,
Polonca and Soncek
