Cruising is a social life….
…it’s been busy here at South Side Marina, with boats in transit heading both south and north. Today we didn’t do a whole heck of a lot but hang out, enjoy the sunshine and mild weather, while preparing for the cruisers’ potluck dinner tonight. Ron a…
New Year’s Interlude Stateside
Life has been moving at an extremely fast clip the past two weeks! Lots has been going on — my dad has been ill, so I’ve been focusing on family rather than the minutia of the blog. Thankfully, he is now recuperating — slowly — but it’s been a…
Not Just Any Old Day at the Dock

Whahoos and Marlins – Whoo Hoo
We pulled out of West End at 6:00AM trying our first solo navigation in the dark; I think we should stick to daylight for a while until we get the night vision binochulars. Everything went perfectly fine, but boy oh boy is it dark in the open oce…
Happy New Year
We arrived in Port Lucaya Bahamas yesterday afternoon, the entrance into Bell Channel and the meandering ride to the marina was beautiful. When we arrived we were held at the fuel dock until the dockmaster could determine our slip. The mari…
