Well I haven’t posted in a very long time. Sorry about that, I am going to try and not let that happen again. So what has happened since June? Quite a bit… It took us 5 long days of motoring to get up to St. Mary’s, GA. This is where we decided to leave the [...]

Back in the USA
If you looked at the map on the site, you can see we are back. It was a very long difficult trip back, but we made it, and it is good to be back in the US. We really missed all of the conveniences, food, water and other good stuff that we take for granted [...]

We were sad to leave Hope Town, but we had to go. We are officially heading back now. We motor sailed over to Gauna Cay this morning. It took about two and a half hours. We had the wind behind us, and it was kind of light, so we had the diesel running too. It [...]

Well, we missed a weather window last week, because of some unfinished things that needed to be done, and laziness. The engine had a leak from the valve cover gasket, plus a few other things we needed to finish before crossing. We are almost done all the pre-departure projects now. And now it looks like [...]

We are in Fort Lauderdale, and the weather is great. It is in the 80′s and sunny during the day and cools down to the 60′s at night. It took us a while to get here, because of some engine problems and bad weather. We left Melbourne as planned, and the wind was very strong, [...]

Right now we are anchored in Melbourne, Fl. This is a very nice anchorage, trees all around, no waves, to dinghy to shore is only 100 feet away. A lot has happened since I last posted. We had a tragedy aboard the boat. Our cat Greta fell in the water while we were anchored right [...]
