Cheesequake creek, Raritan Bay

After much planning and hard work, we launched "My Weigh" today to start our journey to her new berth in Florida. We expect to spend a day or two more here in NJ to "shake her down" before heading South.

The first leg of our journey will be a 24 hour sail down the Jersey coast to Cape May (I am writing this first blog entry from Horseshoe Cove, on Sandy Hook, N.J.) From Cape May, we will head up the Delaware River, through the C&D canal and down Chesepeake Bay to Newport News Va. where we will enter the "ditch" -- the Intercoastal -- to wend our way further South. We are shooting to get to Jensen Beach Florida, our new home, by mid September.

But, our plan is loose and we don't plan to "push" to get there -- our priority is simply to enjoy the journey and the experiences it offers.

We hope to visit with friends and family, explore new places and perhaps make some new friends along the way.
