Yesterday (whatever day that was) we motored sailed from Marathon to Bahia Honda State park. It was about a 15 mile trip on beautifully smooth seas. As we were heading into Bahia Honda Lesa was having a fit because the channel is just a missing span from the original train bridge and it looks like…
Oh, Its good to be back!
Oh its good to be back on the boat again! That tropical bitch Debby was depressing us with her constant rain, and dreary attitude so we left the boat at Marathon and went home to ocala for 5 days. Don’t get me wrong, it rained like hell in Ocala but at least I could set…
Rain, Rain, Rain
Its raining. Its still raining. Its still raining and is continuing to rain. When its not raining it is threatening to rain. (Can you tell we’re getting a lot of rain?) We are stuck here in Marathon, waiting to see what the weather is going to do. apparently, there is a low front over Mexico’s…
Restaraunt Reviews
Part of sailing is, of course, visiting nearby land and exploring. We go ashore every couple of days for supplies, sometimes showers and laundry, and the occasional restaurannt meal. I dedicate this section to those places we eat a meal different from boat fare. ***** = best ever $ =$15-25 for all 3 of us…
Strange Things Seen on the Water in One Day
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. Balloon bouncing in tne water obviously tethered to something under the water. No dead bodies thrown in by Dexter. Lignun Vitae Key – a barge….
LigmunVitae to Marathon Sleigh Ride

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,…
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…
