Traveling to Shalimar, FL

We've spent the last two days traveling from Iowa to Shalimar, FL.  We drove our pickup truck down here with the boat trailer hitched to the back. We left the boat here for one month after discovering the hole in the hull on Nov. 9th.  So the month's rent ends Dec. 10th.  We've made arrangements for the marina to set the boat on the trailer tomorrow (Thursday) and then after we secure the mast for traveling mode and get food items & other personal items out, we will trailer the boat to Enterprise, AL on Friday.  We picked Enterprise, AL because my cousin, Jeff and his wife, Barb live there, it isn't far (2 hours) from Shalimar and Jeff found a storage facility that will house the boat for a great price.  Bob will spend a few days in Enterprise doing the repair on the hole, it the weather cooperates. We may leave it here for a year, we just know that we are done with living on the sailboat for 2011. It's not likely that we will do anything with the boat before Nov. 2012.  Anybody interested in a Pacific Seacraft 25? Video of tomorrow's activities to come tomorrow night.

You guys are not really going to sell Heron are you? If so talk to me first. Marc

Marc, We aren't anxious to sell now, but if a buyer came along, we'd definitely consider it.
