Off to the Pacific Northwest

The plan, as last year  was to loop south first to avoid cold weather & the severe storms that tend roam the midwest in April. Such was the plan.

  

You just know that when you step outside of the terminal in Baltimore & see this stuff it is a bad omen.

Happyness is moving in

As usual it is off to Martinak State Park to take on water & be close to a market to load up food. Also as usual, we had the place to ourselves.

Off to Tilghman & Severn Marine for a few days. Always interesting to see what Carl has in the shed.

Southern Cross, a 1950s classic

It is going to be an awful shame putting this beautiful finish on a Markley 46 to work.

Somewhere in the TX panhandle north of Amarillo

At this point we are 27 days & some 2500 miles into the trip. No road incidents & mostly decent weather except for the cold. First night was a record cold for the date where we were. The night near Panama City, FL was a record cold for the date & while in Amarillo TX the temp equaled the record cold for the date. Where is spring?
