This segment began with a four mile section called the rock pile. Locals explained that the channel narrowed at times to 25 feet with rock ledges lining both sides. Locals further suggested running the stretch at lo…

We rented a car again for the weekend. The four of us left this morning and did some shopping for the boat, mostly. We had a really pleasant lunch at The Tiki Restaurant at the Riviera Beach Marina. The food was good and the service was even better, a …
Bed and more exhaust work
Another diversion from mechanical systems work… We decided that we needed a comfortable place to sleep overnight when working on the boat so I built the bed frame and installed the mattress in the aft cabin. When it comes to boat interiors, every inc…

Second Day in the New York Area: We got every thing done yesterday so we devoted all day to seeing the sights of New York (Keith was a good boy!). We took a tour of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. I told Keith before we left n…

Key West (Continued…)
Deltaville, Va
Deltaville is the self-proclaimed “Capital of Chesapeake Bay Boatbuilding”. In September 2005, the museum agreed to take on the restoration of one of the bay’s most unique boats, the “F.D. Crockett.” The Crockett is one of only a few log boats built in the 60-foot range specifically for motor power. There are only two such boats […]
Leanordtown, MD
We anchored out close enough to dinghy into Leanordtown, MD. Leanordtown is a little known secret hidden along the McIntosh Run and has developed a wonderful waterfront area. This area is home to bald eagle families, Baltimore Orioles, wild turkeys and many other bird species. As you wind through the wooded trail you will be […]
Huatulco, Mexico
After 34 hours of very light sea we arrived in Huatulaco and pulled in through many rocks and a very narrow entrance and moored at a new dock without power or water. We didn’t mind since we really just wanted to get off the boat for a while and relax. We had to wait for customs to come down and search the boat, pay them $40 USD in cash which will never make it to the Government.
