The anchorage spot we chose for last night turned out to not be the best choice. The wind switched to the north east and it put us once again on a leee shore but this time with a continued high wind. The fetch from across the bay allowed the waves to grow to the 2…
Author: 2bikes1boat Always An Adventure
We are both teachers that love to explore and play in the great outdoors whenever we can, especially during the summer. It also gives our little guy a chance to see the world beyond the small corners of our town.
Where are we?
Humm… Good question. Well, we’re parked (anchored) alongside a road, in water shallow enough to walk to dry land and 15 minutes from that good old american favorite, McDonalds (million and one served). Really we are east of uS1 north of the entrance to Jewfish creek at Key Largo. Right now it is raining lightly,…
From Rough to Righteous
I had a rough day today due to not sleeping last night. On our first day motoring from Jensen Beach to Boca Raton I forgot to apply sunscreen until too late. It does not make for great sleeping two days later. Fortunately, I have my new dress I made, which covers my back and is…
Dinner Key at Coconut Grove
Another tireing day. Starting this morningI transformed the HotDot from a stink potter to a blow boat. Lesa and Kaelin hid inside while I worked and raised the mast. When I started raising the mast alone years ago it was always a very stressfull experience, now it just takes time and patience. The act of…
Key Biscayne
After a beautiful day motoring from Boca Raton we have made it to Key Biscayne. I have never seen so many big buildings and boats. It’s like Orlando on steroids! The boats are beyond huge. We saw four cruise ships in a row and Jim says that those are small. The homes we saw were…
living the high life

Chillin’ in Boca Raton
We made it to Boca today. A 57 mile journey through the weekend drunken’ motorboater madness of Jupiter inlet, Singer Island at Lake Worth and Boynten Beach. I am always surprised at the amount of people and their toys in South Florida. The sand bar on the north end of Singer Island at Lake Worth…
Jensen Beach in my birthdat suit
Well we made it to Jensen Beach, just north of Stuart, and yes I am in my birthdat (miss spelling intentional) suit. The U-haul towed the boat great and we were able to drop it in the water with no problems. I will definately be using the u-haul to tow the boat again. The weather…
Riding the Silver Comet Trail – Georgia
Spring Break Teachers everywhere live for the time when they can pack the books away and take a break from the rigors of preparing for state mandated assessments. At least this is true for two teachers I know of, myself and Jim. We were just discussing what the “So, what did YOU do over the break?” feedback will be when we…
WiFi Connected and ready to go
Thank you Best Buy. Our connectivity issue for this summer has been solved. This past summer I had very limited use of internet access because my Nook color only uses wifi. At this time I dont want to purchase a new tablet and even they dont all use 3G / sattelite, so we bought a…
