Black Point Settlement Revisited
Friday, January 28, 2011, Day 124. A day punctuated by a bad judgement in the morning. For the last several days, we knew that the winds were predicted to be from the northwest if we were west of the cold front and southeast if we were east of the co…
The Jumentos and the Ragged Islands – Part 1
First stop…Water Cay. On our last trip to the Jumentos two years ago, we skipped Water Cay going both north & south. This time, we wanted to stop and linger awhile at several of the cays on our journey to Ragged Island. For most of our tr…

Palm Beach Gardens
We had an uneventful but pleasant cruise from Vero to Palm Beach Wednesday. The ICW winds through some of the most pricey real estate of the entire east coast, beautiful homes along the canal, impeccably landscaped and a variety of architectural styles…

The ICW winds through some of the most pricey real estate of the entire east coast, beautiful homes along the canal, impeccably landscaped and a variety of architectural styles. Many of the homes are in the multi-million dollar range, and each time […]
