KOKOMO II completed the "Great Loop" over three summers from May 2007 to November 2009. The cruising plan for 2010 is from Stuart, Florida, up the Intercoastal Waterway to the Chesapeake, down the Delaware and around to NYC and up the Hudson to Lake Champlain, the Richelieu to Montreal, then west on the St Lawrence River to the 1000 Islands and Kingston, then across Lake Ontario to Oswego, the Erie Canal, down the Hudson to NYC and back to Stuart. kokomox2@yahoo.com

May 10, Isle of Hope, GA
We decide to make up for lost time (the storm caused us to miss some stops) and so we run 90 miles to Isle of Hope near Savannah. Our first small mishap - we run aground - pilot error - outside of Golden Isles Marina and have to spend a long time getting off. Where is "GOOMBAY" and her crew when we need them. All seems to be ok as there appears to be no damage. Captain O is not happy at his lapse of judgement, missing a red marker. Linda is very quiet. Boat performs fine after grounding (love that full skeg) so all is well. Captain resolves to try to be more vigilant. Isle of Hope has a free loaner car so we take car to Walmart, grocery store and nice dinner at Bonefish Grill. WOW!!!!
Captain O,
ReplyDeleteWe are so proud of you two, especially only experiencing one grounding to date. Are you sure???
