Creator's Key Takeaways

we are currently sailing through the Caribbean on our six day adventure and the van is safely at Port in Canaveral

by us driving we're able to get out before the storm and get down to the cruise on time

this is another reason why we love RV life it makes things very easy

we've done this multiple times and we've actually found it to be a fairly easy process
