Colleagues, after a 6-month refit period, minor upgrades and repairs, and the carefully conducted (and well-lubricated) name change ceremony, M/V White Rose is leaving next week for some extended Florida cruising. Our original plans to strike out for the Loop trip were put aside for now as several issues have prevented us from heading North to chase the cooler weather. We were hoping to rent our Cocoa FL condo for a year but have not yet found suitable tenants, so for now we simply plan on exploring FL for a few months.
We plan on leaving Merritt Island on July 1 and initially head north to spend Independence Day in St. Augustine. We will the return south and head toward the keys, without any set schedule or firm plans. As this will be our first time cruising south Florida and the Keys, we'll gladly accept any advice from fellow cruisers!

and we plan on keeping the blog up to date as we go: mvwhiterose.blogspot.com
Notwithstanding hurricane season and summer Florida heat, we hope to have a ton of fun, meet as many fellow cruisers/boaters as possible, and experience as much of what we can from cruising south Florida.
