Getting Ready to depart Chattanooga Dec. 2014
Goodbye Chattanooga. The time has finally arrived for Idyll Time to start her migration South. The last couple of weeks have been busy getting ready to leave. After many trips to the grocery store, every nook and cranny is filled to the brim. IT looks great after a full wax job on her hull and […]
Plan "B"
Plan “B” is pretty much the story of our life, so when I saw this sign at the Botanical Gardens in Naples today, it pretty much made me smile.The story begins with the decision to help drive my parents to their winter home in Arizona. Plan “A”, o…

Homer ( 1957-2014)
We have some sad news today. Homer, our Blue Front Amazon Parrot passed away. Homer lived a good long 57 years. He traveled everywhere with us and was a good boat companion. He was truly a unique spirit. Our home will be empty without him. Nate, our Yellow Naped Amazon Parrot, will miss him more […]
Krogens in Miami
Stevedore and LiLi arrive. We are waiting on weather. They are moving south; farewell and safe travels. Tom and Phyllis, Cocoon II, stop by in their big tender, nice ride, and like us they are waiting on weather. All reports are looking like late Sat, early Sun to cross the stream. Travel safe all. Sylvianne and I spent the day on boat projects. Really looking fwd to moving south but we are gonna miss cruising here and hooking up with the likes of LiLi, Crackerjack, Follow Me, CloverLeaf, Steadfast, Wanderer’s Rest, Mystic Moon, Silver Bay, The Good Life, Gratitude, Coral Bay, Morning Star, Compass Rose, Ariel, Salt & Light, Seaclusion, Epilogue, Puffin , Sandy & Glen (one day, in the not too distant future?). Sorry if we missed anyone. Happy travels to all the cruisers and people we meet along the way.
Safe passage
K&S
Now In Miami
Left Stuart, headed down the ICW to WPB. Spent a day at anchor, we were expecting to be in WPB for a few days, forecast offshore, NASTY, but we do not relish the Bridge run south from here.
Wake up in the am, no wind, depart 7am, Miami, direct, outside we go. Yes the winds did kick in as forecast but by then we were already underway, I was most concerned about getting out, once out everything is on the bum. So here we are, outside, 15-20 kts from the E-NE, mostly 3-5′ seas, on occasion 4-6′, with a few 8’s just for fun, beam to stern quarter, stabs worked hard but all was good. New AP pump and Scotty AP set up working GREAT!
ICW to WPB
Thanks Dr Brown, Mark, Mary. Off the dock, ICW to WPB, Lake Worth. All looking good, offshore in the am, sea trial on the new systems. Short run, Ft. Lauderdale next.
Finally!
OK, been a few busy weeks here at Sunset Bay, Stuart. Thank You’s huge to all who helped get us get “ready”.Kudos: Scotty, Philip, George, Angel, Bill & Ann, Bill & Ann, did I mention Bill who spent a day on our boat with Scotty and I?? T…
