Wow, it’s hard to believe we have been in Marathon for almost two months. The time has gone quickly. Our original plan was to stay for only one month. The brisk winds have been nonstop making travel to the Bahamas almost impossible. We were just happy to have a secure dock to hide out. Others […]

A Birds Tale
A Birds Tale: Most of our followers know that we travel with Nate, our 38 year old Amazon Parrot.

Stuart to Marathon: February 2016
Marathon here we come. The weather forecast looks good for our overnight run. The big question of the day is what time do we push away from the docks. There are lots of parameters to consider: leave at slack tide here at the marina, be to the shallow areas of the St. Lucie River at […]
Stuart Florida January 2016

Fernandina to Stuart
Fernandina to St. Augustine: Looks like we will be motoring on the ICW today. We had hoped to head offshore again this morning but the seas are not cooperating. It is actually 20 miles shorter on the ICW. We just dislike this route due to the shallow depths and also the heavy boat traffic with […]

Back on the water
Hello all, we’re back aboard Idyll Time. After patiently waiting on us for the past four months in her shed at Atlantic Yacht Basin, IT is ready to move south. A little dirty, but other than that she looks great. Jeff came up a few weeks ago for a haul out and bottom paint. He […]

Day 1 & 2: Bald Head to River Dunes: We have really enjoyed our stay on Bald Head Island and wish we could stay longer. The weather is dictating that we leave today or miss our window for our next overnight trip offshore. We plan on spending more time on the island this fall when […]
