Key Biscayne Bay – life preserver ring on the waters bottom (yes the water is that clear). Didn’t do someone much good. Tire including rim floating on top of water.

LigmunVitae to Marathon Sleigh Ride
A sleigh ride it was today. We pulled anchors around 10 this morning headed out of the anchorage at lignumVitae; the wind was still cranking 20ish out of the east/northeast and gusting. The waves werent bad but the gusting wind made me want to try the ocean side for the trip to marathon. I should…
Rock n’ Roll Hoochie Koo
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…
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,…
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.

Key Biscayne

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…
