Chapter Ten: Everywhere We Look … Lightning
So … accidental jibes? Apparently not much fun on a Nonsuch (and probably not much fun on any such). After assessing the minor loss of the outboard tiller extender and choke, we were able to get that big ass sail … 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
March 18, 2014 – Some Bitchin News!
It’s not a vulgar heading, I swear. That’s the guy’s name. Bob Bitchin. He’s the editor for one helluva sailing magazine – Cruising Outpost. So, the “news” is, back in January, I sent a sailing story off to another well-known sailing … Continue reading
November 20, 2013 – Day One: The Rode Out West
With Big Mom tended to and Alabama in our rear-view, Phillip and I set to planning our Thanksgiving voyage. Due to the rush trip to North Alabama for the funeral and the lost time from work, we both needed to … Continue reading

November 9, 2013 – “When Are You Going to the Islands?”
Isn’t that what you’re all thinking? At least that’s what I get asked three times a week. (Yes, I’m talking to you Bleeke!) Soon, people. Soon. Stick with me. But, I’ll tell you, even when we do get there, it’s not … Continue reading

May 23, 2013 – The Crossing Finale – Oysters and Beer
The day finally came. May 23rd, and we were headed back to Apalachicola to finally bring our boat home. We hitched a ride again with our sail groupies – you remember these guys – Phillip’s fabulous folks: We loaded up … Continue reading
May 4, 2013 – A Little TLC
So … a new transmission. That’s what we were debating anyway. There was the option to rebuild the old one. Mechan-Eric told us he could take it apart and look at it to see what condition it was in, but … Continue reading
April 17-23, 2013 – The Crossing: Chapter Six – Never Trust a Non-Drowsy Drug
After the dinghy incident, Mitch’s “non-drowsy” Dramamine kicked in again and we lost him to the settee (the boat’s version of the couch) for another 8 hours. Phillip and I stayed up at the helm through the night, enjoying the … Continue reading
