We left Beaufort today for our annual trip to Florida by boat. Our destination is Ft. Pierce FL for two months. We shoved off of our dock at Port Royal Landing Marina at 7:30 this morning in drizzly windy conditions. Captain Bill, otherwise my husband, decided to try motoring off shore. However, the waves were pretty high and I'm not a fan of bouncing around on deck. We did most of the cruise on the ICW. We averaged about 18 mph getting us to our first stop at St Simons Island in time for happy hour.
This year we're accompanied by Bill's longtime friend Biff for our first two days. Next stop will hopefully be St Augustine tomorrow night.
I digress for a moment to talk about provisioning for a two months with two cats and a weaver. The food and clothes are never a problem, it's deciding which projects to pack to keep me happy. I have my brand new electric spinning wheel and tons of fiber. That got me started thinking that I could do some felting by packing just a few more simple tools and a little more fiber.
I'm hoping to spin a ton of yarn to weave with when we return in March. And maybe a couple of cute felted purses too. 😊
