Nassau Leave a comment
Well, we’re in Nassau. Lee, Pirat, and I have managed to avoid running into coral, dragging our anchor, getting chased off of private islands for stealing coconuts, being devoured by man-eating tropical fish, melting in the hot sun, and going crazy from lack of civilization. Our first week in the Bahamas has been a true […]
Turquoise water; pictures update Leave a comment
First things first. I have to tell my Manatee story. It’s not really a story, I’ve just decided that I love Manatee’s. There were signs warning boats against running over them in Palm beach so I was on the lookout the whole time we were there. Finally, on one of our last days, I was […]

Here’s a backdated post to tide you over till the story of our gulf stream crossing is finished. I wrote this a few days ago, Wednesday to be exact, but was not able to finish and post it at the time. Sunset our first night in Palm Beach. Palm beach is starting to get old. […]
WE MADE IT to the BAHAMAS!!!! Leave a comment
I can’t believe we’re here! I can’t believe we crossed the gulf stream without a hitch and didn’t even have to wait for weather. There is a lot to catch up on, since preparing for today’s passage occupied 99.9% of my time for the past few days. All I can say is we’re at West […]
Florida! Leave a comment

Person, place, or thing? Leave a comment
Is home a place, a thing, or a state of mind? View from Mom’s house on a clear and frosty New Year’s eve morning. I say it’s at least one but as many as all three of the above. I only came to this conclusion after spending all of yesterday deep in thought. Long, cross […]
The routine at rest Leave a comment
It’s Santa’s feet! Without an intense schedule of passage making, Lee and I have settled into a routine not unlike that of teenagers in their first days of vacation. At least we don’t stay up till the wee hours of the morning or drive to the mall to hang out with our friends. We have […]
Sail sail sail sail sail…sleep Leave a comment
Charleston at last! I never thought this city would feel like such an important destination on our journey. It turns out Charleston is special for several reasons. One, it’s our first stop in South Carolina (a new stat for us). Two, we sailed here offshore overnight in the cold and wind without mishap or disaster! […]
