Today we went for a dinghy ride to explore more of the island and surrounding waters. Then we went swimming again. We are having a great time here in Bimini, but, as long as the weather is as good as predicted, we are going to leave here tomorrow. We a…

N 32′ 46. 210′/W 080′ 03. 730′–We departed early at 7:30 a.m. from Beaufort, SC and had sunny weather, smooth as silk waters, winds were 12 knots from the North.

Jekyll Harbour Marina, Jekyll Island, Georgia
The gold burgee flying proudly from FinallyWe are in Georgia!! Seems like we have been in Florida for so long, but we left Florida just after we pulled away from Fernandina Beach this morning. We went through the Cumberland Sound, very calm seas so no …
Exploring Cannes, France
Christi awoke at 0130, wide awake and full of energy. And she had naively thought she didn’t have any jet lag! Ha! She was wide awake most of the night, falling asleep near dawn. Today, Eric’s meetings didn’t start until noon, so we were able to sleep until about 1000 before getting up. We both awoke […]

We made a short run from Black Point to Staniel Wednesday morning. Calm weather again gave us a smooth cruise. Our normal routine of closing the below decks portlights before we get underway is …

The Big Push Is On.
We left Miami Beach on Monday, April 4, 2011. Today, we anchored in Beaufort, South Carolina. In just 10 short days our “slow boat to China” has taken us 550 miles, and we have about 750 miles to go to get bac…
Short Day Helped by Current
We waited out another cold front at Southport’s Harbor Village Marina, NC for two nights. One night we were fortunate to enjoy dinner at the home of Rick & Jeanne Brown, friends from Annapolis who have since moved to St. James Plantation, a very, very…
