#18: SeaWorld’s Got Nothing on Pensacola

#18: SeaWorld’s Got Nothing on Pensacola

October 23, 2015anniedike

I’m certainly glad they’re not shy about it, because whatever these dolphins were doing (wink, wink) it turned into an all-out SeaWorld-worthy show for us. Enjoy!

Thanks to my Patrons who help me share the journey. Get inspired. Get on board.

Can I just go ahead and admit that I thought "Martha's Vineyard" was named that because it was where Martha Stewart lived and grew grapes for her wine? I am serious. Little Annie from Clovis, NM had no idea what she was getting into with this whole "cruising" thing. But damn. This was one of the prettiest little New England islands we visited. Rolling green lawns. Rock fences that were probably built over a hundred years ago. Fluffy, infatuating hydrangeas of every color just begging to be bunched in my hands and sniffed. What a treasure in NE we found here. Not to mention the JAWS history. We had to watch it again while anchored there in memoriam. Saw the car ferry in the movie that still bears the same name: On Time III. That was funny. Martha, hold that glass of wine, we'll be back!

I may have had just a little too much fun doing this. But is there such a thing? Anyone want to try to guess our dinghy’s name?? 😄 #havewindwilltravel

They certainly make the instructions easy. Point it at the sky. Plug it in. Connect to wifi. 🤣Going to give STARLINK a try on UbiQ! 💫 Has anyone else tried it on a boat yet? Reviews? Tips? #starlink #outbound46 #havewindwilltravel

Phillip and I would never even have known about this anchorage if it weren't for a pro tip from a fellow cruiser. Surprising even us, our second favorite anchorage while cruising south down the east coast this past season was South Beach Miami, anchored out next to Flagler Island. We were just a short dinghy ride from all that South Beach has to offer (tours, art, museums, Muscle Beach, exceptional ethnic food, shopping, theatre - we caught the world premiere of When Monica Met Hillary, highly recommend). Not to mention everything in reach of the dinghy dock (Publix, Fresh Market, Trader Joe's, UPS, laundromat, hardware store, etc.). ANNNnnndd kitesurfing!? We found we could dinghy down the canal straight to the beach (25th Street, where we found one lone cleat dropped from the Kite Gods just for us!) where there is a small section cordoned off just for kiters! South Beach was heaven! Check out our South Beach write-up on the HaveWind blog today. I've included our anchor spot and some info on navigating the 65-foot bridges on the way in. Hope to see some of you there this fall! #havewindwilltravel #southbeach #cruisers

Can’t imagine a better way to celebrate my 40th. 🎉 My first paddle, pop-up, and ride on a wave. 🏄‍♀️ Was it an ankle biter? Absolutely. Does that matter? Not in the least. Look at that smile. I was really proud to get up on my first try. I would have never thought the first time I would try traditional surfing would be in a wetsuit and in Rhode Island but isn’t that the fun of it? Life. You never know. Just grow and age and suck the life out of every day. Here’s to birthdays! Thanks to my love, Phillip, for setting this up for me. He knows I’ll jump on and ride anything rideable. 😉 #havewindwilltravel #newport #surfing #thisis40

Cuttyhunk. What a gem! ❤️ All these places I had never even heard of before, never even knew where they were, and here Phillip and I are, dotting from one to the next, taking each one in. We were greeted by their self-proclaimed "Welcome Committee" boat the minute we pulled into the little harbor, invited to their B&B breakfast the next morning and their local (rather heated) trivia the following evening. We've never felt more welcomed and appreciated as cruisers as we have up here in New England. This place was just a wonderful breath of fresh boat air! 😍 ⛵️ 🌺
