Bummer

Looks like blogger and FB will not let us post video. We need to prove we own the material!  Go figure the guys in suits (legal) are really running the show. And they just cannot have any fun unless they are billing you.

New Adventure!

Well yes I have not forgotten to post more on our last adventure (soon as I figure out how to post a video) but we are about to start the next one. So follow along. When we looked for a boat this was the cruise we were planning as a starter. Test ourse…

Catch Up Time

OK, sorry followers. I got lazy, complacent etc. Blogging from my tablet is not that friendly, the APP has changed again, might get better. Cuba was an experience, I will post more on that. Following Cuba we did a quick trip to Abaco via Miami, Then an…
