Monday Sept. 21: Cleveland

Today was spent finishing up preparing the boat for storage for the winter. We used the courtesy car from Winter Harbor to drive to the Syracuse Airport to pick up a car to drive to Cleveland. All went well (for the most part - long story about the keys!) and after carting what seemed like everything we owned to the car, off we went. 'Yesterday's Dream' will stay in the water for another couple of weeks or so until the marina begins to pull out and place the boats in storage. Any work will wait until we return in the spring.

After a last look back and 6 hour drive (which took us 6 weeks on the boat) we arrived back in Cleveland and picked up our last remaining car which we had left at the marina at East 55th St. It too is now an official resident of Florida! A visit to the local AAA office and we are good to go.

After spending a couple of days here in Cleveland visiting friends and family, the plan is to head to Loudonville either Wed or Thurs, visit with family and then head west. Not sure yet what we want to stop and see or how we'll go but I guess that's kind of what we've been doing the the last 2 months anyway - it'll just be on land instead of the water! San Diego (actually Encinitas) here we come :-) Look out Matt, Wendy and Becky!!

Thanks for following our blog - hopefully you have enjoyed seeing where we have been. To be continued next spring ......
