Back in Blue Waters
May 13, 2014: We woke to a hand-painted pastel sky after our night of UN-rest on the Plaintiff’s Rest. The oldies-but-goodies mixed tape soundtrack of Island Time kept playing through my mind as I put on the kettle … Continue reading
Bombs Over Baghdad!
May 5, 2014: Shrimpers. That’s what they were. Those strange looking UFO ships out on the water. They were huge shrimping vessels with massive football stadium-like lights flooding the deck. No red or green for port or starboard, so you … Continue reading
Close Encounters of the Gulf Kind
May 4-5, 2014: With 4-6 foot seas, a steady 17-20 knots of wind pushing us in, and our bow doing a nice ‘figure eight‘ motion in and around the Venice inlet, we made our way in. The Captain did a … Continue reading

Well folks, this is it. April 3rd. Shove-off day. Departure day. THE day. And, we were ready. Beyond ready. All the trips to the stores, the packing and inventorying of the boat, the freezer meals, everything was ready. All we … Continue reading
April 2, 2014 – We Need to Buy Stock in Publix
Now that we had all of the NON-perishables packed on the boat, it was time to make the last final run to Publix for the perishables. And, I say “final” because we took quite a beating at … Continue reading
April 1, 2014 – Provisioning the Boat’s No Joke!
No April Fools about it. Provisioning is one serious chore! We’re planning a 30-day trip on the boat. That’s a good long while. So, let’s talk about packing. Before we started stuffing the boat full of supplies for the trip, … Continue reading
