We left the DC area mid September in shorts and tee shirts. It wasn’t until we reached Wilmington that we broke out the long pants and jackets. By the time we got to Jekyll Island, GA we were back to shorts and tees. When we left there this morning it was 51 degrees and as of noon today we are in Florida wearing jeans and jackets.
It seems we are not moving south fast enough. But there is a bigger issue. We’ve discovered that our favorite place when underway is on the flybridge, especially as we now have two really comfortable helm chairs up there. When the weather is brisk it can get down right chilly up there. As I write this I am wearing boots, jeans and two fleece jackets. As much fun as we make of sailboaters who are always bundled up against the elements we are starting to resemble them!
