First hour and a half - a quick check of the trailer

Tuesday, the 5th: Off of I 81 near Gettysburg, PA for a quick bite to eat

Alex placing the order - Lady in the background was not pleased and told us NO pictures!

High tech equipment was used to navigate.

On I 77 to Charlotte, NC - Runaway Truck Ramp

Something one does not want to try at 120 kph - ooops!

Can you believe it's 27.5°C already!
...

Wednesday, the 6th: Entering Florida - you can really smell the south now - warm and humid.
...

Pulling into Eustis Sailing Club Wednesday morning - time to get into shorts
...

Cover is pulled off to reveal Shadow's secret - shrink wrap!
...

After seeing pictures from Uncle Al's trip through snow storms,
this was the best thing we came up with..

Shadow now free of her protection
- with Alex removing the last of the shrink wrap from the mast.

Shadow's mast is raised and ready to go.

Panning to the right towards the boat yard

Water levels are much lower than I remember.
