We are outta here!

Rockhopper, the last evening in St. Petersburg

Okay folks, everything is done, and we'll be on our way Thursday morning September 3.  Goodbye to all the helpful folks at Lippincott Marine Canvas, Caliber Brokers, Suncoast Specialties, Elite Marine, and Harborage Marina (N27° 45’33.1848”  W82° 38’12.3792”).

We'll be heading down the gulf coast of Florida and then making our way up the east coast.  Currently, we think that will mean a couple of overnight anchorages the first nights on our way down, and then we might just hightail it offshore up to the Chesapeake after we round Florida.  We've got 4 weeks to make it to Annapolis, so we have some leeway to change our minds and stop every night and keep it close to the coast or ICW the whole way, but we'll decide as we go.  I'm not sure how our connectivity will be as we are on the way up, but if you are interested in knowing if we are stopping overnight in GA/SC/NC/VA, just text us and we'll get back to you if we are close enough for a signal.  We'll try to grab internet while we can, but I think we might have more luck with cellular.

Here are a couple of photos of Rockhopper.  You might have a hard time seeing some of the work that has been completed in that low evening light, but let me assure you that is it is some gorgeous stainless and canvas work.  Here is a photo of the new interior as well.
