I know he’s hard to see, but I’m just glad I didn’t see him up close and personal, like him having a taste of my legs. Yesterday morning, in our isolated anchorage in South Carolina, I decided to clean Breaking Away’s hull and scrape off the barnacles …

Mobile bay was unbelievably rough. One can see from a map that it is a huge bay and the wind was blowing from the south at over 30 knots, gusting over 40. When we turned west into the channel going to Dog River, it rolled the boat unmercile…
