We got an e-mail from Tom at Kadey Krogen, seems there was some confusion (likely on my part). Even though Maxwell don’t cover the R & R of the windlass Krogen say on a new boat they would have taken care of this, maybe we just needed to be m…

Maxwell Windlass
Again the windlass is leaking oil, this happened on our maiden voyage, leaked gear oil after a few uses. We called Krogen, they sent us to the Ft. Lauderdale “dealer”. Maxwell does not cover the remove/refit labour, only the repair. C…
OK, a storm that never happened
Anchored behind Bonds Cay, the forecast is not very favorable, we call Berry Islands Club, a bit confusing, all the morrings are booked but they have slips available. OK, we head in, wind is blowing 15-20 G25 kts from the NE. It’s a struggl…
Bahamas, always better in the islands!
Well another minor delay, after waiting for customs to open Tuesday for an outbound clearance, turns out we are told it’s not required to go to the Bahamas (Canadian Flagged Vessel). So we missed crossing with Puffin, departed Sylvia Lake just af…
On to Florida
Getting the blog caught up, again, after hooking up with Bob and Nancy on Puffin we continue south in freeezing cold. Windy weather kept us inside (ICW) most of the way, manage off shore only twice and then made some good time. Steve & T…
We meet "Puffin"
On our way back to the boat after a wonderful meal at ‘Amen Cafe’ in Charleston, SC, we spot Krogen, “Puffin” tied at the dock. We think we know these folks. It is still early, the salon lights are on so we knock and Bob & Nancy welcome …
Mile Hammock Bay to Charleston
We leave Mile Hammock at 6:45 am along with the sailboat “Random Run”. South to Wrightsville Beach, we bump bottom (again!) in what should be 10′ of water in what we believe is the channel. Make a turn to port and out the inlet we go into a beaut…
North Carolina, time to head south!
We get back from Taiwan and head to Wayfarer’s Cove. Thanks Tom & crew for taking good care of us and being so helpful. Krogen folks, if you are following, good place to stop and get your bottom “done”. Nice people, be sure to call ahea…
Kenting, Taiwan
Anelize is not sure what to make of this, a weekend in Kending, thanks Danny & Jon. It was great fun! Love DAD.
South East Coast, Taiwan
We spend a wonderful weekend with Dani, Jon & Anelize; waterfalls, hotsprings, tea and the ocean and of course food! Love the mountain fern “veggies”, the sweet potato greens, the fish, the lemon fish and the sashimi! Oo…
