Nancy and Carey's Great Adventure: Welcome Tug LeeLoo!

Monday, April 18 - On Friday, April 15 we drove to Stuart, Florida and closed the deal on our new boat. Welcome Tug LeeLoo! Closing went well, but when it came time for us to meet the sellers on our new boat, we had a terrible thunderstorm that delayed getting the keys from the sellers until after 5 p.m. By the way, Friday was also Carey's birthday so what better gift than a new boat! As everyone knows, Carey has wanted a bigger forever and he finally got his wish.

Now that we own 2 boats, our immediate goal is to cruise LeeLoo to New Bern, N. Carolina and leave her with our boat broker to sell. We were hoping to leave on Monday, but the weather is not cooperating (what else is new!) so it looks like we will be leaving on Tuesday. We will take LeeLoo to New Bern (a little over a 2 week cruise), then rent a car and drive back to Tug LeeLoo in Ft. Pierce. After a week or so of learning the new boat, we hope to start the trip north again. As you can tell, our plans are constantly changing. Stay tuned to see how this new plan works out!

For the last few days, we have been transferring our "stuff" from LeeLoo to Tug LeeLoo. We are leaving a minimal amount of our belongings on LeeLoo to use while we cruise to New Bern. It will be bittersweet as we go north because this will be our last cruise on LeeLoo.
