2016 Nordhavn Barbados Rendezvous

For the first few days after arriving in Barbados, we attended the informal 2016 Nordhavn Barbados Rendezvous with Robbie and Jo Ashton of Nordhavn 47 Southern Star and Jennifer and Mark Ullmann of Nordhavn 46 Starlet.

Stormy Seas From Fort Macon, NC…

I thought that I would share some stormy seas photos that I took from the jetty at Fort Macon State Park, NC. I’ve been neglecting my website lately. So sorry.  The photos shown here are a bit different from the ones that I shared on Facebook. Same subjects – different photos of them. Last Friday, […]

“We do not remember days, we remember moments.” ―Cesare Pavese

Just a quick update to the blog to let everyone know where we are…life isn’t very exciting at the moment. We spent Tuesday in Vero Beach, it was cooler and windier than Monday, so we were glad we had spent Monday wandering through the beach area. Tuesday we took advantage of the local bus and went to Publix, had lunch and did a little shopping. Before returning to the boat we visited with friends that are docked at the marina. We spent the rest of the day hiding on the boat from high winds and cold temperatures. We have to keep reminding ourselves we’re in south Florida.

Today we moved north to Cocoa, which is a cute town we enjoyed visiting in 2011, but today we decided against going ashore. The high winds and cold temperature makes a ride in the dinghy very uncomfortable. In fact we spent most of the day driving from the lower helm so we could stay out of the wind and stay warm. Kind of fun for a change, but we both would enjoy a warm day…at least the sun has been out and that helps. This summer when it’s hot, I hope we remember these days.

Thanks for reading our blog and spending part of your day with us. The Pearl is also on Facebook – stop by and say hi or follow us on Google+.
