heading north on the icw

July and August 1992.  This 1,000 mile journey meant we had many stops along the way.  Great new places and experiences that filled our journals and our cameras.  Even with as many entries as we made and as many pictures as we took, we could not document it all.  There were challenges and days we should have stayed on the boat or anchored well away from civilization, but in all, we loved the trip and we were very happy we had the time and the means to experience it. 

July 92.  Riding our bikes everywhere turned out to be a great way to get around.  LEFT:  Carl is riding through the shady streets of Vero Beach, FL.

ABOVE:  Clover's tow service.  Carl is towing a small disabled power boat using Clover's 2.5 horsepower engine.  Seemed a hoot.

Good cruising friends Val and Greg off Grimsby had wintered in Jacksonville, FL and met us for dinner in St. Augustine where we were anchored out. We had chatted by radio, but it had been a long time since we had seen them. It was great catching up. July 1992.
