We moved the boat from a slip to a face dock, so we have a great view from the salon.
Daytime temperatures between 75 and 80 degrees, palm trees swaying in the breeze. It’s relaxation time. We have a rental car so we can get ar…

What Do You Do With The Swim Platform?
We have been considering what to do with the swim platform since we bought the boat. It is all teak and the previous owner had treated it with a hardware brand of deck stain, the type you would use around the house. They had coated all of the teak on t…
Tues, Feb 8, We’ll be in Cape Coral for a while
When we returned from our boat ride last Sunday, the port transmission failed….no reverse. Made for interesting docking. The transmission has to be re-built. This is the mechanic removing it. Problem is, when he removed the ex…
Packing Our Bags

Great Barrier Island
We left Whangarei in relatively calm seas with hopes to spend a night at the Mokohinau Island group. I had heard the diving here was good, but too many weeks at a dock spoiled us for calm waters and it was way too rolly here. We moved on an…

Boca Chica NAS marina, Key West, FL…We got our slip back due to a cancellation of reservations and we will stay here for 3-4 weeks and then we’ll head north. For now, we’re thankful where God has placed us, for the good weather, good friends and opportunities to serve others as disciples of Jesus. We’re also […]
