Home Again
Hello Sea Zen visitors,
We left Bimini early in the morning and it was sad that we were leaving the Bahamas. The crossing was a great big, wet, rolling desert. About half way in the middle of the Gulf Stream I threw a message in a bottle over board. Where it will end up I do not know. I hope that someone will find it and get back to me. We pulled in to Lake Worth, FL . It took about 10 hours to cross this time. The next day we had to check in with the customs. It was a wet dinghy ride in because it was thundering and lightning. We checked and everything was ok. We had dinner with Sea Fox X who crossed with us. The next couple days we went up the ICW to get to the marina. We stayed at 3 anchorages before we got to the marina. To get ready to haul out. We hauled out at a place called Riverside Boat Yard. Everyone pulled into the city marina and started getting ready to put their boat to bed. That means put the boat into storage. Even when the boat was put into the yard there was still a lot to be done. We had to do all kinds of things: packing, putting things in Space Bags, and washing down the whole inside of the boat with vinegar to prevent mold and mildew, and we had to take the sails off as well as the booms and some of the rigging. I did some waxing on the boat to prevent oxidation and cracking on the decks. It was a lot of work. We left may 7th in a rented cramped mini-van with all our stuff in it. We made my stops to our friends Carol & Doug in St. Augustine, and to Monticello, and to Gettysburg. We got home may 14th. Everything was good when we got home. Luna’s ball was right where she left it. I was sick as soon as we got home I only had it for one day but my dad had it for 4 days I think I might have a strong immune system than him, but im not sure. We are nice and settled in and I hope that you are too!
Will blog again about Gettysburg and my trip to Nova Scotia when the next adventure presents itself!
Until next time.

Welcome home Mark, Beth, and Liam (and Luna). You and the family actually lived the dream of many. I really enjoyed following your adventure and hope to do something simillar one day. By leaving the boat down south the story has open ending. What’s next? Tom
