Eliana and her crew are preparing for a summer of boating in Hawaii. It’s the best time of year because there are so many more anchorage opportunities, especially on the windward sides. Our interest about all things nearby is rising. …

The last 2 weeks half sitting and waiting half moving
On our way to Beaufort SC actually we landed at Port Royal SC just across the way from Beaufort since we have been to Beaufort in the past we thought we would try a different stop this time. Port Royal was a fine choice they have a nice little&nb…

Where Ya Going? – South!

Hopeful to explore the Exumas, but realizing “all cruising plans are written in water”, we leave Clearwater ahead of an approaching cold front. Sarasota’s Bird Key Yacht Club is our first port. …
Butterflies and Dragon Flies
Keppel Island was a good refresher course for us on how to rig our flopper stoppers. Lovely anchorage, but the residual swell from the past week of big weather just wraps around into every nook and cranny. We blast our way through the surf on o…
Adios Mazatlan, I’m heading………….
NORTH!!!!My cousin Robert and I had been communicating since summer of 2011 and he, being an old hand at Mazatlan, had expressed an interest in doing some fishing this season. So, in late March we set a date . He will be flying into Mazatlan, and retur…
CRUISING MODE
April 18,2012 – It has not been even 1 week and we are making fabulous time. As Elle just put it “we have definitely gone into cruising mode”
Believe it or not we are in Georgia. Yes,that is what I said. GEORGIA. Not far into it , but in a wonderful anchorage right next to Cumberland Island where we spotted the wild horses which this island is famous for.
To back track just a little and bring you up to speed we left our anchorage in Ft. Pierce and had a good days run to Titusville,FL where we anchored and was able to see the the Space shuttle Discovery being loaded onto a 747 for her last flight to the Smithsonian in Washington,DC. The next day again we anchored in Daytona Beach for a good nights rest. You may be counting the days anchored and yes we finally decided we needed a marina where we can do laundry, get off the Summer Wind to feel land again so St. Augustine,Fl which we love, was our stop. The laundry was accomplished, showered andthen treated ourselves to a wonderful dinner in Harry’s restaurant which was lovely. Going to finish some of it tonight!!!!
The weather has been delightful but the weather man is predicting some storms so we decided to make some tracks, but first the Summer Wind was getting thirsty. Stopped to fill up and after 206 gallons high tailed it to our present anchorage under threatening skies.
So here we are relaxing over some nice Chianti and a snack and mother nature hasn’t shown her ugly head yet.
Think i will end here and let Elle fill in some pictures. Enjoy.
You can post your comments on here and we hope to hear from you.

First Overnighter of the Season
We are on day three of our travels. Our leisurely morning is spent fixing things, Glen sweating over a drawer that will not work on the sliders anymore and me trying to get our computer to talk to all of our navigation equipment. We had some wo…
Two Ships Head Out
The beginning of our dual trip (Oso Blanco and Mystery Ship) out of Mooloolaba began with a “bash”. We were lead boat out of the harbour entrance and where there were markers buoys on the sand bar when we arrived, now there was nothing, but the…
On toward the Chesapeake Bay Region
If we have not stated it before, there is a lot of secluded and undeveloped parts of this country. As we finished our trip in North Carolina the last but certainly not the least was the Dismal Swamp Canal. This river is part river and part …
Moving Northward
The weather over the Easter weekend was absolutely perfect. Calm winds and flat water. We should have been making northward tracks, and we thought we were, stopping in Manly for two nights then heading up to Mooloolaba for our next stop. Except that t…
