February 5, 2013 - Setting off.

     (With apologies to  'Leaving on a jet plane'......................

Our boat's all packed, we're ready to go
We're motoring down the ICW
The weather forecasters say we can cross tomorrow

The Gulf stream's beckoning
Tomorrow's the day
We'll meet our friends and sail away
And hope to make safe landfall in the Bahamas

We're leaving the U.S. of A.
Don't know when we'll be back to stay
Although we're nervous we can do it, can't we?

Goodbye to Ft. Pierce and our friendly dock
Goodbye to the surf and the car and the flock
Of seagulls who love to wake us like a clock

We're leaving the U.S. of A
Don't know when we'll be back to stay
We're NOT nervous now....and it's anchors aweigh!
