We left Miami Beach on Monday, April 4, 2011. Today, we anchored in Beaufort, South Carolina. In just 10 short days our "slow boat to China" has taken us 550 miles, and we have about 750 miles to go to get back to Rock Hall, MD. Over those 10 days we have cruised for an average of 8.7 hours per day, 55 miles per day and averaged 6 miles per hour. We plan to push all the way through to our marina, Long Cove Marina. Our average day starts at any where from 6:30 am to 6:45 am with weighing the anchor. Sharon will make breakfast while we are on the run, most days we skip lunch. We will continue to run to a predetermined anchorage each day. We have revisited some "old" anchorages and discovered some new ones and have abandoned a few because the new anchorages are better. Since returning from the Bahamas on February 26th, we have not stayed in a marina, every night has been spent on the hook. We think we can make it all the way with the fresh water we have on board and our food stores will last longer than that. The big push is on.
Have you ever seriously thought about living your dream? We did and now we are full time cruisers onboard M/V Big Run. Everyday is a new page to be written in our ship's log as we travel to new places and revisit some ol' favorites. Come along and share our experiences and journeys.

Finally got a minute to check out your blog - talk about plans made in Jello - thought you were hanging in Florida until the launch???? 70's here last weekend and snow this weekend - at least the ice is off the lake. Safe Cruising and glad you got to experience the dolphins and sorry about the going aground thing, but it was bound to happen.
