Saul Creek is a very narrow, but deep creek. There is just enough room for the boat to swing on one anchor. We also anchored here on our way southward. The chart shows where our anchorage is relative to the Apalachicola River, which fo…
Pirating puts an end to circumnavigator’s dreams
Sadly, it seems the risk far outweighs the desire for adventure. Below is an email posted by the crew of Doramac:I guess its time I admitted to the list and to myself that our dreams of acircumnavigation will remain just that, a dream. Were still…

Tuesday (3/15/11)This morning the day started with a very painful moment. When Ricki went to check on her “crabs” as she has done every morning since she acquired them, they were laying in the water belly up and dead! With heavy heart we were forced …

Flopper Stoppers are deployed!
Today was maintenance day. The morning started with Ron doing the 12kw genset oil change, oil filter change, and impeller change. We also changed out the impellers on the main engines, as they were due per our maintenance schedule….although, as Murphy’s Law would have it, the old impellers looked great and Ron was kicking himself for having changed them too soon. Yes, it’s a boat…! I know it doesn’t sound like much work, but it’s never a 5-minute job! The real mystery is how can engine manufacturers place impeller pumps so that there is never quite enough clearance whatsoever to pull out the old impeller and insert the new? Do they not realize that the impellers need to be changed regularly?
