We’re Here!

Saturday, January 12, 2013Tom and I arrived in sunny Stuart at 10:30 am.   Since Tom is a long-time Hertz Platinum member, our rental car was brought to us right at the terminal curb.  Great – less time to waste before we could be on our way …

The Belle of the Ball

As is customary whenever Serenity is in town, there is always a lot going on around her.  I’m sure our B dock neighbors at Sunset Bay Marina wonder if we have money to burn.Our caretaker, Laura and other dock neighbors have taken it upon themselve…

Twas the day after Christmas…..

…….and I’m missing Serenity. I’ve often criticized people who place great emphasis on inanimate objects – I’ve become one of those people!  While I certainly don’t place Serenity above family, friends and pets, she does have an unusually deep …

Post Serenity Delivery Trip

It’s been a week since we’re back in NY without Serenity and it feels mighty empty here.  I visited the marina to drop off a Christmas basket and saw all the boats in their shrink wrap.  It’s a decidedly different look at this time of the yea…

Serenity is Home for the Winter!

Somehow amid all the fun and adventure, Monday arrived – our last full day aboard Serenity.  Let me tell you, Stuart knew we had arrived and dished up the most glorious day for us to enjoy.  Brilliant sunshine, warm temperatures, a soft breez…

Stuart and Sunset Bay Marina – Here We Come!

Another glorious day on the menu for us today!   Who would have known that I would be celebrating my birthday aboard Serenity en route to Florida?  We left our lovely anchorage at 7 am and headed for our final destination in Stuart at Sunset …

At Sea (the ICW) All Day – December 1st

There is nothing quite like waking to the sound of the bow thrusters grinding away in one’s ears to know you’re at sea (well actually, on the way to the sea).  No need for an alarm clock these days.  The sun was still making its way skyward w…

Friday, November 30 St. Augustine to New Smyrna Beach

Another sunny day, even milder than yesterday smiled on Serenity and her crew.  Leaving a mooring ball is infinitely easier than leaving the dock – no lines, power cable or hose to contend with (and no fighting).  Much more civilized and sere…

The Intracostal Waterway – Southbound

This morning dawned the exact opposite of the day before – bright, warm and sunny.  I was so thrilled to be aboard, that I offered to make breakfast.  Good thing no one was around to see me peering at the controls on the stove.  Even I s…

OMG! I’m Finally Aboard!

So, at VERY long last, I’ve been reunited with my beloved Serenity!The alarm chirped at 3:30 am on Wednesday, November 28th.  Most normal people would groan at this indecent intrusion in the virtual middle of the night.  Not yours truly. &nbs…
