All Hands On Deck   Adventures on land and at sea

        We did it! Late yesterday morning, after a day and a night of sailing, Lee and I spotted the island of Hispaniola. That afternoon we pulled into the harbor at Luperon and picked up a mooring right next to some of our old cruising buddies from the Bahamas. We were exhausted and sick of the […]

Pirat’s underside back in Rum Cay. The hull is a bit scummy.         That’s all it took to get from Rum Cay to Mayaguana – just 24 hours of close hauled action. We made one little jaunt on starboard to go around Plana Cays. I started my second stretch of bunk time on one side of […]

        This post is a little outdated but we didn’t have internet for a few days. Lee and I sailed from Rum Cay to Mayaguana overnight last night. It was our first overnight in a long time and I have some good stories to tell! Those will have to wait till I get a good night’s […]

This wasn’t really our honeymoon in any respect except that it came after our wedding and we did a little relaxing…very little. Between traveling all over the place, seeing as many people in the U.S. as possible, and searching for jobs online, we didn’t get much relaxing done. Our week in Del Mar mostly consisted […]

  Where did I leave off?     Ah yes, everyone was leaving. It took as long for people to trickle out as it did for them to trickle in before the wedding. That was kind of nice, since it gave Lee and I more opportunities for one-on-one time with our guests. Some were even […]

        I wish I could think of a clever, cute title for this post. It deserves a better title but I can’t think of a way to sum up the past week’s events in a few words. Transformative would be a good word. Exhausting is also very descriptive. Things were chaotic at times. Overall, the mood […]

        Ah, there’s nothing like a long day of travel to make you appreciate a soft bed and a roof over your head, even if that bed is two mattresses pushed together on the floor and the roof is a tent.         Lee and I staggered in to Estate Concordia Preserve just before the registration desk closed […]

Here are the rest of the pictures I’ve been hoarding. This album includes Lee’s fish, the Coconut Run, and other odds and ends. More Bahamas

        I’m so tired. I’m sitting in bed in a cold, dingy hotel room in Maimi. I had a mediocre (at best) veggie burger and wilted green salad for dinner at the chain restaurant next door. I’d like to welcome myself back to America.         Lee and I left Pirat at 6am today and spent more than […]

Lee on the sail back to George Town.         Before I get to the topic hinted at in the title of this post, lets talk about more pleasant business. Lee and I are back in George Town. Actually, that’s not particularly pleasant except that it means it’s almost time for our wedding! We sailed here yesterday […]
