Well, leaving Charlotte and moving aboard proved more challenging than planned. It is hard to leave good friends and a great house at the lake, but we did it. We arrived in Hampton with a car full of stuff and immediately proceeded to go to shopping to buy the rest of the things we needed to set off. The task of finding places for everything (especially the wine) and getting ready to leave turned out to be much larger than we thought. After a week we were ready to go, so we set off for destinations North.
