[C320-list] (no subject)

[Tom Grass]

Thanks All.  Realizing that we are retired (we did the loop on Bucket List
in 2016-2017) we have plenty of time.  We are planning on staying around
Grand Traverse Bay (Traverse City) - to Charlevoix - to Beaver Island for
about a month or so - sailing with grand kids.  If the Canadian border
opens we would sail up to the North Channel for a few weeks -  then we're
planning on heading down Huron to Lake Erie and then to Buffalo, NY.
Assuming the Erie Canal is still open we will remove our mast in Buffalo
and have it shipped to the Catskills off of the Hudson River; then we
transist the Erie Canal - put our mast up in the Catskills then sail down
the Hudson to NYC - then to Sandy Hook - then off shore to Cape May, NJ.
Then head up Delaware Bay to the C&D Canal then over to Chesapeake Bay.
Spend a month or so in the Chesapeake then in the autumn to Norfork and
into the ICW - ending up either near Miami or the Keys.  If the border is
open to the Bahamas (meaning no quarantine requirements) we would go over
to Bimini.

Thanks too for the suggestions on spare parts.
