My first long trip on my Bayfield 32 sailboat.  I soloed from my home marina in Deltaville, VA, down the ICW, and across to the Abacos from Lake Worth, FL for the first 6 weeks.  My wife joined me in the Abacos for a month, and after she left, a friend joined for the longer return crossing from the Abacos to St. Augustine, and for another outside hop from Fernandina Beach to Charleston.  I then took it the rest of the way on my own, up the ICW and then back to Deltaville.
