St. Pete to Tennessee River (April 27 to May 15 )

 As planned, we spent the winter at the Club at Treasure Island again.  The weather was incredible all winter and we can’t figure out where they keep their bugs – but we’re happy that they stay out of sight. It was just like coming home – c…

You just never know what will happen next.  We came to the southern coast of Lake Okeechobee, and were given precise instructions for docking at Clewiston.  The dockmaster is “Little Man”  (his jacket says so!) and he is a…

Next Year’s Project

A pile of junk boats perhaps? No way. We have a sailing pram in a runabout on top of an Abaco dinghy. That runabout is a prime candidate for restoration. Sometime. It sits out behind the shop at Tomato Paste, a one man restoration shop at Hope Town. Who knows when the restoration will start. […]

Well, hi, hey and hello there
(as Big Jon and Sparky used to say….).

Instead of 3 weeks in New York, we stayed for four.  Had a passel of good times, as always.  We:

Teddy’s Cap

It’s a big sun down here in Florida. If you don’t believe me just come down here and walk the docks or a mall parking lot mid-day without a hat on. I concede you sun glasses but dare to try it for any length of time without a hat. So ya just gotta love a […]

Anticipation

These pellies do think breakfast is being served. While the shrimper is cleaning and tossing collateral haul from its nets, not many of these birds will get anything. Sorta like buying a lottery ticket. The astute observer will note that this image was taken over a week ago just as we got underway headed down […]

Grills Riverside

We hadn’t circumnavigated Merritt Island in a while, so the merry crew of Captain Andy, Dingy Admiral Annie, Skipper Troy and Boat Bunny First Class Miss Audrey Hopburn motored out of Marina Village on Friday afternoon and dropped anchor at Ski I…

TEXAS – OCTOBER 2010 TO MARCH 2012

It took 3 months of tedious county hospital visits (many of which were screwed up and they didn’t seem to have any idea why the patient was even being seen) to get to a point where one doctor said. You must have a biopsy or we cannot do anything for y…
