Well, since we’ve arrived in Stuart, we’ve made a trip to Annapolis in order to finalize the sale of our house and retrieve our car. Yes, we are now homeless! But that’s a good thing! Now we have to get rid of all the “stuff” that was in the …
A Visit to Lake Charles, Louisiana
Lake Charles possesses many of the appealing characteristics and qualities of a great urban center, yet maintains that “personable feel” of a smaller town. There are premier casinos, and the community hosts over 75 annual festivals.
With beautiful natu…
North Fort Myers
We spent last night at anchor in Pelican Bay, rocking and rolling all night. The wind blew all night long, so there wasn’t much sleeping going on in our boat or Runaround Sue. We missed Paul and Patty during these last couple of days. However, I’m ce…
Clearwater December 6, 2010
December 6, 2010 Clearwater. Today was kind of a knock around day, just staying out of the wind. We had breakfest out and then walked through a few shops, seeing all the things we did not need. When living on a boat, for something else to come aboard, …
Trip to Ensenada Grande and to Costabaja Marina
Left Agua Verde early Saturday morning for Ensenada Grande. We figured that this was as far as we could go before dark and safely anchor. As we were heading South we watched both the Auburn and Oregon games to see if TCU would go to the nati…
Auga Verde
Getting into the anchorage at Auga Verde was interesting. There were several ways into the area but really only one safe way at low tide. As we were coming into the area I could see water breaking over the reefs in several areas. To get into…
Trip from Punta Evaristo to Agua Verde
We left Punta Evaristo early and headed North to Auga Verde so that we would get there by 1PM. The trip was pretty peaceful with 10-12 knot winds and minimum seas. The mountains to the West of us were much like the mountains in Arizona in th…
Trip to Auga Verde
We got up at 6 am this morning to get the boat ready for the 90-mile trip to Bahia Aqua Verde. Took everything off the shelves, locked all the hatches, locked all the port hole, filled the water tank, put up the Christmas decorations, …
Ft. Walton Beach to Panama City, FL
Not quite as cold today because the winds have stopped. 47º on flybridge @ 8:30 as we left Ft. Walton Beach.
Passed a heron standing on one leg. Reminded me of fellow Looper, Tom Conrad’s weather muse that says – if you see …
Catching Up
It’s been a long time and much has happened since our last posting! That missive highlighted the first, weather-driven portion of our trip south at the end of summer, but we haven’t really shared anything about the summer’s adventures or why we headed back southward along the Atlantic seaboard. We’ll cover both here and in […]
