How did the famous writers do it. Hemingway traveled the world, drank, fished, went on safari, drank some more, married four wives and wrote famous works. I ride a few miles in Puffin, socialize with a few friends, squeeze in a short nap and can’t se…

Stuart, Florida
We arrived in Stuart, Florida on February 13, a popular place and resting spot that we had been hearing about from other Krogen boats for years. Sunset Bay Marina is a very nice location, within walking distance of a charming historic downtown area fi…
Titusville to Stuart
After leaving Titusville, we ran for a short while with the Charleston group and stopped to anchor in Cocoa. Cocoa Village is a charming area full of shops, outdoor cafes, and a farmers’ market on Wednesdays that we were just in time for. We especi…

Brunswick, Georgia
Puffin finds herself dock-bound once more as her crew has been bewitched by Brunswick. Daytime temps in the mid-sixties have certainly played a part but the starring role belongs to Brunswick Landing Marina itself. Puffin’s has found herself in a tho…
Puffin's Moving Through Georgia, Slowly
One of the great things about traveling by slow boat (Puffin moves along at a slow trot) is that some of us get accustomed to living our life at a comparable speed. It’s a little like walking along a long road, rather than driving. The walk’s gonna’…
