Au revoir 'Southern Vectis'

The end of a perfect winter

We spent two weeks at our dock in Ft. Pierce just enjoying the lovely weather, having our daily swim, walking the beaches and getting to know the other boaters at Harbortown Marina. We knew we had to arrange a haul-out day for Southern Vectis, but dragged our feet a bit! But the big day caught up with us eventually. On May 2 'Southern Vectis' was lifted gently out of the water, and we gave her bow a final pat as we said au-revoir for this season.
So now the next and final part of our winter trip has begun. We are driving up the east coast visiting lovely historic towns, like St. Augustine, Savannah and Charleston while we wait for the weather to warm up back in Toronto!
