Background- Thursday - DAY ONE




In 2004 Pete and Jan Collins commissioned their Southerly 115, Lady Itchenor, and made their first trip to Florida to participate in the Miami Boat show. At the Boat Show, Rob and Phyllis Caldwell wrote a contract for their Southerly 115, Great Escape.

January 2010, the Caldwells and the Collins' have assembled in Kitty Hawk, NC to begin the Southerly Sail South to play in the keys and find the warmth of the winter sun. However, as this winter progresses, we are having doubts if that will ever happen.

We are currently locked in Kitty Hawk behind almost a mile of 2 inch pack ice. We need more warm wind and stronger sunlight. Maybe tomorrow we will get underway to being the run.
