Hello Everyone,
We have now agreed to have our winter cruise, Fleet 14's first cruise, be a sail to Peck Lake on the Intracoastal just south of St. Lucie Inlet. Shortly there will be updates to our website, forum site, a newsletter, and an e.mail message to the "Friends of Fleet 14." There has been discussion with Joe & Lisa Kern (Jenny Jewel), Bruce & Carol Hagreen (Symphony), and Pat & Bob Schuldenfrei (Esprit du Vent ). Esprit du Vent and Jenny Jewel will be there for sure. If work permits Symphony will join us. We hope that a few more boats from the Hillsboro Inlet area can make it and perhaps one or two from Biscayne Bay. Here are the details:
Date: January 18th & 19th (I plan to sail up there on Friday, January 17th but the "official" event is Saturday and Sunday.)
Rendezvous: We will meet near R "2" at the entrance to St. Lucie Inlet in the afternoon. We will sail for a bit and then power into the inlet and proceed to Peck Lake.
Overnight: Provisions can be made for dockside accommodations at Loblolly Marina or you can "campout" in the anchorage. There will be a party Saturday night, perhaps at the marina.
Let me hear from you even if you cannot make it. I am sure the summer cruise to Ft. Lauderdale will fit the schedule of more of the fleet members. However, we have set sail into 2014 and we plan to drop anchor a few times each year.
Cheers,
Bob
