took sailboat down icw from NY to Palm Beach (prior to a Bahamas jump) for a 7 week trip. Sailed the Chesapeake for a week, and made all the great stops along the way. Rode out a gale in the back rivers in Georgia, golfed at Hilton Head and on and on. Watched a space launch at anchor nearby. Also, made lifelong friends on the journey. If you have the time it's a great trip, and for me was the best trip of my life.
