There goes my boy, heading South. With a fair amount of Wanderlust in his eyes and a clear love for the ocean in his veins, he left Cape Ann Marina this morning, went under that darn Cut Bridge, and left Gloucester Harbor to head south to Florida. It’ll take about 5 days… stopping along the way. From a new home base in Fort Lauderdale he’ll be working on this Viking, will do a fair amount of traveling, and will work towards his Captain’s License before making the trip back north and home to Gloucester in May or June. I’m proud of him for being true to himself, following what calls him, and taking this opportunity, but I’m going to miss him so much. Fair winds and calm seas, Thatch!
