The Titania Cruise to the Chesapeake
Chris and Sue hope to take Titania down to the Chesapeake
this fall (2000) spending about a month (a leisurely trip).
We'll haul her out for the winter and then
bring her back next spring to upstate NY.
A number of things have to go right for this scheme to
succeed: the newly rebuilt motor has to run (there'll be a lot of motoring –
much of the trip is in canals); the new power system (golf cart batteries, high
output alternator) has to keep our computers running so Chris can work (he does
have a job you know!); our marriage has to survive the experience of living
together in a space of about 80 square feet; amongst others.
No Problem!
