Just a whole bunch of photos that I downloaded off the camera the other day, which kind of chronicles what a typical day on Drift Away is like.Early morning sun.A little duck of some sort. We went to Jekyll and met this little lady and her mom.The…

The Return of Bumper Boats
I posted recently about the misadventures of a boat trying to leave its slip, with adverse conditions and a green crew. Well, we had another incident here at the marina.Dick and Deb, friends of our on Journey To… were visiting the other day, an…
Naming Things
I find the concept of naming things to be interesting. We name people, of course. We have to. Otherwise, how could you talk about them? I imagine the concept of naming people goes back to the cave man days, when the concept of g…
Loons and Manatees
I’ve often posted about how much I like watching wildlife. Being from upstate New York for most of my life, and living in the suburbs of various places, I didn’t get to see much wildlife besides the occasional deer or turkey along the highway. &n…

Marina Bathroom Races
Living aboard a boat is in many way much different from living ashore. Take yesterday, for example. It was pouring rain in the morning. No one was getting off their boats here at the marina unless, like us, they had to walk a dog or s…
Flood and Tornado Watch
I don’t pay much attention to the weather unless we’re underway. It rained all day yesterday, and it’s going to rain all day today. The only annoying thing about it is that the dogs are bored. They have to get off the boat twice a day…
