Day 346…Beaufort Waterfront – Christmas

Welcome to day 346 of  365 photos…this was the Beaufort waterfront late yesterday afternoon. We had rain all day here so I didn’t get a new photo but thought I would share this one. It always amazes me just how quiet some of these towns get in the winter. When I took the photo, there was […]

Holiday Wishes From Us To You

To all of our friends, followers, customers and fellow boaters. We wish you all a happy holiday season. May you have a very Merry Christmas and a happy, prosperous New Year. Enjoy this time with family and friends as we will, and let’s look forward …

Merry Christmas


It’s been another busy year, but not quite the same as the last three. This year was more about family and less about new destinations to discover. The majority of the year was spent getting to know our new grandson Graham and spending time with our granddaughter Mayven. We didn’t put as many miles on The Pearl but we did mange to cover a lot of ground. We returned to the boat in February and moved it from Myrtle Beach where she was docked for the winter to Charleston. We spent a month in our favorite town enjoying some of our favorite hangouts and catching up with our friends on Gallivant.

Clearwater and Dunedin, FL

Friday, 12-19-2014: We stayed a 2nd day in Clearwater: Had to rest up from the crossing and wait for our mail. It is beautiful here with the temps in the 70’s and sunny. I got caught up on the wash and Keith checked everything out in the engine room in the morning. In the afternoon we walked to Publix’s and went for another walk on the beach at the Pier.  In the evening we went out to dinner at Crabby Bill’s. Keith had his usual; Sea Food steamed bucket; this was the first time he didn’t finish it but it is also good left over. I always have their shrimp dinner; both very good. Yesterday and today where ever we went we ran into Packer fans. They were all over the place. They were all here for the Packer-Tampa Bay Buccaneer’s game this coming Sunday.

Saturday, 12-20-2014: We had a big breakfast and got a late start; about 12:00. Our plan was to anchor out for 2 days and come back on Monday to get our mail. We tried both Dunedin East and West anchorages with no luck. Active Captain said there was plenty of water but we only had 1 foot under our props and there was still 1 foot to go before low tide so we left. We ended up at Marker 1 Marina at Marker 141.5.

CO’s comment: Anchoring in skinny water is a problem when you have a large, comfortable boat. I will take comfort over anchorage any day. I am used to 8 or 9 feet under the keel when anchoring although we have done with less. Tides are the problem in Florida..

Trip PIctures and Story!

OMG, and what a story it is!  Enough to say that the guests I brought with me from NY were calling me Captain Bligh by the end of the trip and singing “It’s a Hard Knock Life”?  I guess they failed to hear that this would be a working trip wi…
