Updating the blog has been on Su’s “To Do List” since the end of September; however, some other chore or travel or laziness prevented her from sitting down and typing! Here goes…We left Marina Grande Dunes on Thursday, September 25 for the…

A little work and a little play…that’s what’s been keeping us busy these days. We’ve been getting a few project done on the boat between playing with our grand wonders and visiting with friends. Besides doing a little decorating and a lot of enjoying of our new home, the following projects have been completed:
Jupiter Daze
Yes, we have little to report other than reporting that we have little to report.
Though walking the down the beach this AM with the boyz, I did snap off a nice pic with my phone. Folks were surf fishing and landing quite a few Bluefish.
I always enjoyed surf fishing. Being this close to the beach, I may have to take it up again.
Spearfish is coming along very slowly. All the projects we thought we’d slam dunk are on hold due to the holidays and because we have no furniture we’re scurrying around trying to fill the empty voids, called rooms, in our new home. Luckily, it’s a small house and we’ve still got the staging furniture to live on in the meantime.
We did take the Albury out today. It was a stunning day and we enjoyed motoring around our new hometown. We eased out by the inlet only to find huge breakers blocking the cut, then we eased back.
But, good news. We have very good/old friends from our Pickwick sailboat days who are crossing the Gulf of Mexico as we speak. Clayton, like me, enjoys his gadgets and he and I’ve been texting via his Iridium Go satellite phone as they’re plowing the lumpy waters of the Gulf.
They’ve just retired and are on their way over here to the east coast, then…. Who knows?
Clayton and Deanna are keeping a travel blog and it’s very interesting keeping up with them. http://www.mvtivoli.org/

So that’s it. Someday soon we’ll do something worth writing about, but till then — check out Tivoli ~ nice read.

Day 323…Christmas Tree & Produce
Welcome to day 323 of 365 photos…Christmas trees are available at the Salty Air Open Market in Cedar Point, among other places in the area. The market is still open for business even though the days are cooler – some of them are downright cold. The market is unusual because you can buy produce along […]

Day 322…Tis The Season
Welcome to day 322 of 365 photos…Tis the season and holiday decorations are everywhere. No, it wasn’t raining today. I took this photo the other day in Swansboro and saved it to use today for the start of the Christmas season – that would be the start of the Christmas season in my mind. Retailers […]

Day 321…Columned Stinkhorn
Welcome to day 321 of 365 photos…this mushroom is growing among the wood chips in the garden. We have had a lot of rain lately and they pop up quite quickly. After doing some research, I found they are a Columned Stinkhorn (Clathrus columnatus). Well, the pretty mushroom has a gross name and the smell is even […]

Thanksgiving, Boater Style
About the only negative of our lifestyle, living on our boat and the freedom to travel wherever we want, is that occasionally we’re away from our family on holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas. Such was the case this Thanksgiving. We have been sitting at the dock in Apalachicola, Florida for almost two weeks waiting for the right weather window to cross the Gulf of Mexico and the Big Bend region of Florida. We had hoped to be farther along and be able to spend this holiday with family. It was not to be, but just because we aren’t able to spend the time with our first family, doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the holiday with our boating family. For this Thanksgiving, the traditional dinner turned out to be a rather large gathering.
Happy Thanksgiving!
We’ve heard about the St Marys’ Boaters Thanksgiving in Georgia for years but it has never worked into our plans. So this year we decided to make an effort to be there. If you are not familiar with the event, residents of the town of St Marys cook turk…
