SHORT & SWEET

This has been one of the easiest trips we have had. Since our trailer was damaged and needed to be repaired, when we arrived at the SeaRay plant in Knoxville, we were able to leave our trailer there. They already had a trailer loaded with the two boats going to Florida and Georgia waiting for us. A quick 5 minute hook up and we were on our way.

As you can tell from the photo, these are the biggest boats we have hauled since I have been on the truck. The one on the back is headed to France and the big one in the front is going to Norway.
When we left Tennessee for our Southern journey it was raining and pretty much stayed overcast most of the way through the Carolinas. I would very much like to see this area again in the spring when everything is green.

But my, how the weather changed when we got to Florida. It was warm and sunny and in the high 60's. Finding the port was easy, but finding the location for us to drop the first boat proved to be a bit challenging. They had some road detours set up due to road construction, but in the end, we found it and 30 minutes later we were done. With a short drive to a truck stop at our next location, we stayed in Brunswick, Georgia for the night.


The drop at the port in Brunswick was even easier. We located the drop site without any problems and in less than 30 minutes we were headed back to Knoxville. The plan is to retrieve our fixed and loaded trailer in Knoxville Friday morning and head to Austin, Texas. We'll see if the trucking Gods are with us, so far we couldn't have asked for an easier run than this one.
