The View From Up Top
April 14, 2014: You guessed it. Another mast climb. After we let our hair down and painted St. Pete red on Sunday night, Captain was quick to wake on Monday morning and put this crew to work! Thankfully, this time we were … Continue reading

Annie On the Ball!
April 13, 2014: So, now you know our first night at a KEY was not the peaceful, dreamy stuff Sandals Beach Resort commercials are made of … Ahhh … bring me another cocktail Pedro. But, we at least survived it. Despite my … Continue reading
April 12, 2014 – Keys Log: Day 10 (Part Duex) – Jenn-AAAYYYY!!
Apparently April showers do not bring May flowers on our boat. We had just popped back out into the Gulf out of Clearwater Pass, enjoying one of the best sails yet of our trip, when we were showered with ball … Continue reading
April 12, 2014 – Keys Log: Day 10 (Part One) – Rain On Our Parade
I woke to find a friend on our stern line the next morning. He didn’t even move as we rustled around in the cockpit and readied the boat for another passage. He just watched us inquisitively and minded his own … Continue reading

April 11, 2014 – It’s About the Climb!
Friends, I feel the overwhelming need to share with you yet another story. While, like the Home Depot story, this one is also entirely true, and while it is definitely a part of the Keys chronicle, as one of the … Continue reading

April 10, 2014 – Keys Log: Day 8 – Catching Butterflies
We were both a little disoriented when we woke on the boat behind Dog Island. Having slept so soundly at anchor and waking to the alarm in pitch black, it was a little hard to tell if we were still … Continue reading
April 9, 2014 – Keys Log: Day 7 – MOTORIN’!
WHAT’S YOUR PRICE FOR FLIGHT?? At least I think those are the lyrics. Feel free to test me (and jam to that oldie-but-a-goodie) here. But, know that I don’t care either way, because that’s what I like to belt out. “Finding … Continue reading
