Voyage of Our Life Time

In April of 2004, we departed on our first cruise of a life time. Lasting more than eight months, we voyaged over 3600 miles through the Great Lakes, New York Canal System, down the east coast of the United States, through the Florida Keys, and up to our final destination of Sarasota, Florida on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.

The complete Ship’s Log of the whole adventure is available here. To begin, simply sail away by clicking on the photo below, or jump to any chapter you desire from the pull-down menu under “Voyages” above.
