We are currently anchored off Key Largo on the Atlantic side of the Florida Keys. We are not quite tucked in behind Rodriguez Key, but we are not completely exposed to the south either. As we anchored last night, we had an ongoing discussion of how far…

Key West or … You’re Not In Kansas Anymore, Toto!
Marco Island was a pleasant stop, highlighted by the arrival of Sarah from LA-YEAH! Before her arrival, Didi & I took a dinghy ride through the many canals and lagoons on the island, where we ran aground a few miles from our boat. The water was too…
Across the Gulf of Mexico to Florida’s West Coast
We are now in Marco Island, FL awaiting Sarah’s arrival for the holidays! It is warm (HOT!) and mostly sunny …. and we are enjoying the west coast of Florida so much! What a treat to be here. We crossed the Gulf of Mexico almost two weeks ago, leavi…

Mississippi River
We are on the mighty, muddy Mississippi River. Today is bright and sunny, and the trees are turning, so it is quite lovely. It is COLD (!), so we are tucked in the pilot house enjoying a swift ride. The River is up five feet from yesterday, and will co…
Rivers, Rain, Coal & Cold
We hurried out of Chicago to beat forecast 40-50 knot winds and 18 foot (!) waves. Reached the safety of Calumet River Sunday morning and pulled into Crowley’s Boat Yard to have our radar arch lowered so we would clear a couple of 17 foot bridges ahead…
