We had a tranquil evening at Pine Island last night. In the morning, we transited the Cabbage Swamp Canal – it’s actually prettier than the name would suggest – rural, but prettier (no dueling banjos, thankfully). We saw an interesting realtor’s si…

Pine Island (St. Augustine)
Dinner last night, alas the yacht club was closed because they had Mother’s Day brunch all day, was at Ronin Sake and Sushi Bar. It was a pretty good meal – Nick had the Kobe sliders (!) while Sherri had the sushi grade tuna. We had some famous Canad…
Daytona Beach
Flies – while transiting Mosquito Lagoon, we found the eponymously named body of water to be not limited merely to mosquitos, but also to biblical proportion flies. There were about a dozen of them on one of the windshield wipers, when Nick turned it o…
NASA Causeway Anchorage
Here we are already for the big launch – the Coast Guard is on the radio announcing security exclusion zones, all the sheriff’s boats are out zoomin’ around, we’re anchored at the perfect watching spot, we have our binoculars at the ready, the co…
Underway again

Stuart, Fl
The anchorage last night was very calm and peaceful. And it wasn’t in Active Captain (www.activecaptain.com), so Nick gets to put in a new entry. If you aren’t familiar with AC, it is a great resource for marinas, anchorages, and trouble spots for …
West Palm Beach
Well, the ocean was unhappy today, so we had to run the gauntlet of the bridges – it was a long day, but almost no one was out boating.As the photo above illustrates, we were in super mega-yacht land today. It really is unbelievable how many HUGE boats…
