Aqualarm Flow Alarm Failure And More Problems With Moeller Marine Products

By on November 17, 2014 in Beach House

In preparation for our current cruise, one piece of safety equipment we installed was a raw water flow alarm made by Aqualarm. The alarm is attached to the intake for the raw water to the engine and, in theory, will sound an alarm when the flow stops t…

Thunderball Grotto Staniel Cay Exumas

By on November 17, 2014 in Thor
Thunderball Grotto an unforgettable marine cave. 
The cave has three entrances, all just barely lapped by water. At low tide we dove just two feet under jagged limestone to the hidden central caverns below.
As we entered the cave a multitude of colorful fish swarmed around us and our baggie of fish food. The coral and sponges along the exterior walls with shimmering shafts of sunlight pouring through holes in the ceiling illuminated the clear warm water below, was an amazing experience. 
Several movies such as 007’s Thunderball and Never Say Never Again, and the mermaid tale Splash where all filmed at this site. 
We have enjoyed our stay at Staniel Cay, anchored up in Big Major, with the swimming pigs, snorkeling in the clear blue water of  Thunderball Grotto, playing pool at the yacht club, exploring the island, visiting with other boaters and enjoying our concert/ movies on the bow of Anna Mae, makes for wonderful memories.

Day 310…Yesteryear

By on November 16, 2014 in Misty Moose

Welcome to day 310 of  365 photos…another home from yesteryear. Can’t you just picture Grandma and Grandpa sitting on the porch in a rocking chair discussing their day. It must have belonged to Grandma and Grandpa because it doesn’t look big enough for a house full of kids. I’m a sucker for a porch – I […]
