Sure was fun seeing all your travels!
I'm definitely going to have to look at booking the Farnsworth cabin. That's only about 3 1/2 hours away from where I live.

Bring an air mattress. Their mattresses suck. Luckily we were tent camping a lot and bought a good one (REI Dream Sleeper).

Re: Cape Man's Dory
Took Clara out a few weeks ago on Tampa Bay and the Jack Plate was shutting down the GPS every time I used it and the water fuel separator that resides in the same hatch as the hydraulic pump had a slow leak out the top where the canister screws in.
Rewired and totally cleaned the hydraulic pump, including replacing the oil, and installed a new water fuel separator. Was a LOT easier the first time when there wasn't a deck on top of everything! Took WAY too long but she's ready for another outing.

She's clean and organized (kind of), issue with GPS and Jackplate solved, trailer lights, wheel bearings, and tires (including the spare) serviced, ready for a morning departure for Marathon in the middle Keys. Staying in a friend's house on a canal for a week with another friend from Montana and his brother. Hope to post fish pics soon...
