Oblivion and her crew will leave Baltimore Harbor, meander down the Chesapeake Bay into the Atlanta Ocean, and head for Norfolk, Virginia, and the start of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway.
Because of some narrow passages, depths that can only be traversed during high tide, and bridges that are raised only on schedule, Oblivion will have many stops, starts, and mostly slow progression toward its final mooring in the Dinner Key Marina in Biscayne Bay, Miami.
But this trip isn't about efficient destination making. The trip is about the trip, an incredible journey involving historic ports, busy shipping channels, challenging navigation, and, well, you get the idea. Hopefully, there will be plenty of experiences that will provide a lifetime of memories and future story shaming for the participants.
While most of the journey will be sheltered by barrier islands in the constraints of the Intracoastal Waterway, there will be two or three open-water passages that will provide some true blue water sailing.
For the record, the journey official starts on July 10, 2015, and if we're on scheduled, we will be moored in Biscayne Bay by August 20, 2015.
