Welcome to our blog!


A new cruising adventure, so a new blog!  Sheila and Bill Corbett, and their two rat terriers KT Bopp and Riggs, are spending the 2013/14 Fall/Winter/Spring cruising aboard their vintage (1969) wooden Grand Banks 32' trawler 'Spray'.  Planned itinerary has us departing Castine, Maine in September and heading south, probably to Florida, via the Intercoastal Waterway (ICW), hanging around until it gets too warm, and then cruising northwards back to Maine.

Spray is a slow boat, with a cruising speed of 6-7 knots, so the journey is the thing.  We'll take 3 months or so to get to south FLA, and same returning, so exploring the many towns enroute is a big part of the trip.

So let's get going with a description of the agonizing process of readying Spray and her crew for the voyage (see next blog entry).
