The Float Plan (After the Fact)

This is probably of interest only to us and other cruisers, but here is a list of all the places we anchored, moored, or stayed at a marina during our 10-month trip, starting from Lake Champlain in Vermont and sailing through the Caribbean to Dominica and then back again. If you make it all the way to the end, you can see that we sorta hauled ass up the East Coast in May and June, at least from a cruising with kids perspective. No wonder the boys couldn’t wait to get home!
