Now that you're back on the road and GL has given us our very own thread for our ICW Cruise discussion, did you have a range of dates in mind? I was thinking that the winter might be a good time to plan this; cooler weather, northerly winds, and Mosquito Lagoon might not completely live up to its name! The occasional cold spell would not bother me; I have plenty of warm camping gear. Let me know your thoughts.

Haven't really considered any dates as of yet, but I wouldn't be opposed to sometime over the Winter. Actually prefer sailing in the cooler wx, although wind direction is certainly not a given like it is the other 3/4 of the year, when you can count on the afternoon seabreeze ...
At least we wouldn't have to worry about lightning!
The company I work for goes on shutdown the week between Xmas and New Years, so maybe a couple days during that time would work? 'Course, it depends on the wife and daughter's plans for me then (read: honey do list!).
Is that a doable time frame for you? Not sure I could go before that (always too much going on leading up to the holidays), and getting into January almost guarantees a week or two of overnight freezes. Maybe go in Feb/Mar?
Anyone else is more than welcome to tag along (KC, John, etc.)! And thanks for our own thread GL!
