The winter was glorious in our new home. We accomplished a lot of projects and had quite a few visitors which we enjoyed. I (Dick) got my woodworking shop up and running and started producing again. Made a group of shelf brackets and shelves for our den which are hung and looking great. Got the den almost finished but will have to wait until we return in the fall. The extra bedroom and bathroom was also finished and now we only have the kitchen, living room,dining room,master bedroom,master bathroom, garden, lanai, front hall etc,etc,etc to do. LOL.....

Shelves installed and room painted!
The week we had planned on leaving on our northern journey was filled with major thunderstorms, lightning and a tornado touching down in Boca Raton not far from our home.We finished loading all the last remaining things from the house closed it up, left it in good hands with our house sitter, and drove to the boat. Couldn't believe how much we put back on the boat, but we are going to be living on it until the fall, so it has to have everything we need. While Elle started stowing things away I returned our rental car. Got back to the Summer Wind about 11:00 that morning and cast off by 11:30. It was exciting getting back on board since we haven't used her all winter. That day was a short one and we dropped the hook in Hobe Sound after a 35 mile trip. Everything was working fine so we popped open a bottle of wine and toasted to our journey.
