Hello Everyone,
A much needed vacation was in order after such a difficult year so far. Liz and I had hoped to go to the Dry Tortugas again this year with a similar itinerary to last year. Unfortunately as most of the world heard the BP oil spill in the Gulf was threatening the Florida coastline and we didn't want that in Moosetracks engine intake or plastered all over the hull not to mention the smell of the stuff if it got all around us. Now the possibility was not great but why take risks, prudent mariners avoid such things.
