#43 Ft. Pierce – Vero Beach – Merritt Island – New Smyrna – Fernandina Beach – Savannah, GA – Wild Dunes

An evening at anchor

As we’ve traveled north this month we’ve had myriads of reunions with friends in various cities.  It’s so delightful to recap our lives since our last visit.  Each of them is so hospitable and gracious with dock accomm…

#42 March 2012 Marathon – Key Largo – Miami – Boca Raton – Palm Beach – Peck Lake

In light of our experience last year in the Bahamas, we can happily report that it isn’t necessary to leave our borders to enjoy pretty water.  It isn’t gin-clear like the Bahamas, but very pretty, never-the-less.  And even better, Publix …

# 41 February 2012 Marathon and Key West, FL

I know I say this every month but it seems that our time here is more than flying.  When we’re in the Keys we think that family and friends feel we’ve just “dropped out”.  We’ve infrequently been in contact with them so the…

#45 January 2012 Marathon, FL

Happy 2012!!!!

We began the year on the right foot with a 40 mile bike ride but our faithfulness to that endeavor has waned for lots of reasons.  This is the most socially active place we’ve ever lived and somehow we aren’t learning the a…

October 2011Blog # 39
This month continues to find us securely snugged in our slip in Wild Dunes.  Boat work continues—sanding, varnishing, cleaning, draperies finally finished and hanging….  Thought we’d be southward bound by this t…

#38 Isle of Palms, SC September 2011

September was an exceptionally fun month for us as we were securely tied to our slip in Wild Dunes. Long ago when we were gainfully employed in Greenville, SC, we faithfully arose at 4:40 each weekday morning to meet a group of friends at 5:30 A.M.&nb…
