We are off!



After 2 years of planning and hard work, we quietly released our dock lines at Belmont harbor for the very last time and said good bye to Chicago about 45 minutes ago. Momentous. Huge. Exciting.

Thanks to our dear friends Alan, Less, Jim and Cody for giving us a proper send off and casting off our lines for us.

The journey begins...






We'll miss you!!

PS.  This post was written from our boat.  SWEET.
