Here are a few shots of the demo of our faithful, yet sadly, Old dock. Multiple pilings were rotted and the whole thing was in bad shape. It was an interesting process to watch and while an unplanned improvement we are thrilled with t…

Where has the summer gone
Where has the summer gone, I mean really.It was only yesterday we had arrived home in Kilmarnock Va with a big list of things that needed to be done. Now we are talking of heading south again next week. The summer days seemed to melt one day into the n…
Fernadina Beach to Charleston
Our arrival in Fernandina Beach from Daytona was uneventful. The USCG was broadcasting a warning about shoaling at the intersection of the ICW and Mantazas inlet with depths at low tide of 3.5′. If true then that was a real problem depending on our tim…
St. Augustine
We arrived in the St Augustine area this afternoon. So far we have traveled 393 nautical miles or 452 statute miles. The weather has been spectacular with comfortable temps and reasonable humidity for Fla. It always amazes me that on the boat we think …

We left Stuart on Tuesday and, after an overnight in Vero Beach, we are comfortably in Cocoa Fla near Cape Canaveral. Shame we were not here for last weeks’ shuttle launch. We did see it from the Lake Okeechobee Waterway but it was less dramatic than h…

Preparing to depart LBK
We have been busy provisioning, giving all of the systems a once over, and getting a boat wash. We had been undecided about whether to cruise out into the Gulf of Mexico or to travel inside on the Gulf Intercoastal Waterway. There are pluses and minuse…
Selby Botanical wow
One of the last and maybe one of the best visits we made was a trip to the Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota. Maybe it was the time of the year, Spring, maybe it was just a cool place, but whatever the reason it was amazing.Colors, textures and light…
