We arrived back home to Connecticut on April 25th as scheduled. We had good weather for our 7 day trip back. We decided to take our time and do no more than 300 miles a day. We enjoyed going through Georgia and Tennessee and north on Rt 81 rather than going up the east coast. It was 250 miles longer, but much more scenic and relaxing.
We are staying at Riverdale Farm campsites in Clinton, the next town from Killingworth and only 5 miles from our house. We are just a few sites from our Gulf View, Punta Gorda friends, formally from Connecticut, who stay here for the summer and early fall to be near their children. Our boat, Golden Lily, is now in the water a few miles from here, and we will get that ready to move aboard in another week, and then take the RV back to our driveway. Our summer plans are still not finalized for our boat trip north to Lake Champlain and Canada.
We miss Florida and all our new friends, but it's good to be home and close to our friends back here.
Our blog is the continuing adventures of Jim and Barbara Benjamin, and Golden Retriever, Lily, aboard M/V "Golden Lily", Nordic Tug 42 and R/V "Golden Lily", Winnebago Journey. Read more about our previous travels at www.goldenlilytug.com.

Spring at Punta Gorda
We have had 3 1/2 months of beautiful weather here in Punta Gorda at Gulf View and met so many nice people. Jim has been busy playing cribbage and pinochle, and we've both played spinner dominoes every Tuesday. It's good we had our bikes since we rode at least 10 miles a day. I've been playing in the handbell choir at Burnt Store Presbyterian Church where we have been attending.
We will be heading out April 25 for a 7 day trip back home.
Keep posted!
