After a successful shakedown cruise, we headed back to Petersburg for a few days. A boating friend’s daughter is getting married this weekend. We take advantage of the time at the docks to also do some more provisioning for the summer. Our primary mode of transportation is walking. Luckily the grocery store and Post Office […]

Shake Down Cruise 2022
It is a rare blue sky day for Alaska as we push away from our stall in Petersburg Harbor. We are heading out for a few days to a nearby anchorage. Since Idyll Time has been winterized for the past six months, we want to test all her systems aboard before we get too far […]
Back Aboard Spring 2022
It is a cold blustery day as we walk down the steep ramp to the North Harbor. It was 80 degrees when we left home in Tennessee. Here in Petersburg the high is 40 degrees with snow still on the mountain peaks. It feels good to be back in Alaska. We both comment “It seems […]
HAPPY EASTER
Easter morning Bald Eagle Lake 2022. Looks like a good day for us (although as I write this, the evening weather has taken a turn for the worse – snowing!!!!!) Welcome to Minnesota spring. Thankyou Shana for hosting an amazing Easter …
Oh, Boy, Shit happens!!!!
Well we started off February celebrating Debs birthday appropriately at Smith House restaurant in Old San Marco with Doug, Robbie & Jane & Dean.Then the fun continued next day with Wayne & Carol at the Speak Easy for twin lobster tail…
Maserator toilet install 101 – Let the fun begin!
OK, so the new toilet arrived in one piece and the old Dometic/Sealand VacuFlush toilet and lines have been removed.Sorry we missed pics of the removal. That was the ugly part as the original sanitary hose from the old toilet to the vacuum tank (…
Key West or Bust!!! also Roh Roh ! (and the rest of January)
As always, too many people!
Sadly, these guys are taking over the island, and trust me hens and chicks don’t have a chance
Rick, you asked, what projects Rick is working on. I wish it was something fun, but sadly, our crapper took a crap. She held in there for 28 years ( with some minor repairs) but, she had to go.
Of, course, any of you boaters know, the toilet and sewer system on the boat is probably the worst repair job that you ever have to deal with. Rick down in the shit hole place.
On a sad note, Debs brother-in-law who had been managing cancer for many years, was told in December he had 3-6 months to live (he found this out 4 days after he retired). Deb got the call on January 19th, that he had a seizure and was admitted to hospital. She flew home the next day. Very lucky to be with him and we were able to say we love you and that he needs to go to be with her sister Joni. Upon arrival back in Florida on the evening of January 23rd, we got the call he passed hours after she left him.
Wrapping up 2021
Arriving November 5th at facility where Broulee has been stored since June of 2020. Unfortunately we had to catch a flight home when we dropped her off so we didn’t get a chance to see her bottom. Looks like we have a bottom paint job in ou…
