The route planning
We visited Biloxi this past weekend and found out that there are two marinas there. Beau Rivage marina is not opened and won’t be anytime soon. I am wondering how much of this we will encounter on our trip due to the hurricanes Katrina and Rita that h…
Colorful Culebra
Location: Culebra, Spanish Virgin Islands Coordinates: 18° 17.468′ N 65° 16.829′ W The crew of Three@Sea greeted 2011 in the colorful, charismatic, Caribbean colony of Culebra. And let me tell you, they know how to throw a community New Years party. With a total island population of 2400, I’m guessing we shared the streets with most of […]

Sloppy Sea Slog
Seasickness Sally here to report on our sloppy sea slog from Florida to the Bahama Bank. If you’re following Dave’s blog you know that Yacht Tech pulled off a Herculean effort in getting Three@Sea back in the water on Friday after all of her maintenance and repairs. The weather gods seemed to smile upon us […]
South Beach, Miami
On Thursday, we sailed on the outside from Ft. Lauderdale to South Beach, Miami, with Kevin and Courtney. We had a southerly breeze, which made the trip a little lumpy. As we approached Government Cut, we heard the Coast Guard warning recreational vessels to keep 100 yards away from a cruise ship that was stuck in the channel. We turned off before we got close, but we were betting that it made the news. We had a great steak dinner onboard and wonderful conversation.
Friday morning from our anchorage, we watched three cruise ships arrive and one depart. We launched the dinghy, rode down a canal, tied up to a traffic barrier, and spent most of the day in Miami Beach. We strolled up and down the Lincoln Street Mall and shopped in many of the trendy shops there. Lunch, courtesy of Kevin and Courtney, was at Van Dykes. We had be best grilled calamari appetizer that any of us had ever had.
We had dinner aboard and watched “Captain Ron” in the evening.
