Its going to be a bit of a rush to be ready for the 4th of September. Boat upgrades, trip planning, and taking care of the daily charters, however on the 4th Journeyer a 38ft Downeaster Ketch departs Thunder Bay for the 9 month voyage to the Caribbean and then back for her duties as Thunder Bay's Harbour tour and Island cruise vessel.
Undecided is the route, taking the Erie Barge canal, could cut off a month of sailing and over 1200 nautical miles, but Captain Brett has roots in St Andrews and would be just as happy sitting in New Brunswick waiting for the hurricanes to pass as he would be hiding out in the ICW ( inter coastal waterway).
Stay tuned....
Hi Brett ... found the blog. And surprised to learn you'll be leaving so soon. I'll be wishing you calm seas and clear skies. You'll be heading out just a week or so ahead of most of us who will be taking our boats out of the water. Just a little bit of jealousy here ...

You will be under way by the 5th of September. As a birthday present to your older sister please stay away from hurricanes!
