This is the route we followed today, took us about 3 and a half hours. Anchored just off the channel in the ICW next to some very nice houses. I wonder if any of them have a hot tub? This isn’t as accurate as I’d like since it shows us going over land in many Read More

Today we did some more provisioning at wally world and topped off our propane tank. I’ve got one more shipment of stuff (BBQ regulator) that will be here tomorrow morning, we’re going to do some laundry and have a nice dinner ashore tonight, then tomorrow morning we’ll top off the diesel tank and water tanks Read More

… and made some headway on fixing the refrigerator. The fan in the invertor was dead, so now I have one of those on order. Went to the boat show on Friday, mostly fishing and power boat stuff, but it was interesting to see some of the stuff and there was a good seminar on Read More

Got the radar working today after getting just one more adapter. Next big project is installing the watermaker. Supposed to be some wind coming in, hopefully able to leave in a few days.

Found out on Friday afternoon that the bank didn’t expedite the replacement cards so they won’t be here for 7-10 business days… Thanks Great Basin Federal Credit Union for screwing that up. I’d made it quite clear that we were trying to leave the country and we needed the cards as soon as possible. At Read More

Made another trip to west marine today, I’ve got to learn to fish now… I have a truckload of stuff to fish with… Yesterday we got the radar dome mounted, just waiting for an adapter to be able to hook it up. Still waiting for my debit and credit cards from great basin… Nothing like Read More

We bought this about 3 years ago at the end of a boat show when they were closing them out. Today I finally installed it, now we’re READY TO GO CRUISING! … well, not actually… Still waiting on the credit/debit cards from Great Basin FCU, once we have those we’ll head down the ICW to Read More

A very productive time late last night and today… First, at about 2am I got the AIS/GPS information coming from the new radio I installed into the network, and now I have another (better) source for GPS, and can now see commercial ships on our laptop/phones and our chart plotting programs when they’re in the Read More

… To a nice young gentleman from Virginia. He and his folks came to look at it today, took it for test drive and bought it.  We’ll miss that truck, we had it for 15 years, the most reliable vehicle we’ve ever owned.  We enjoyed talking with them and they found our plans interesting. (Alex, Read More

Never seen rain quite like this, needed to make sure all the hatches were battened down (many weren’t) between 1 and 2 Christmas morning. Actually quite entertaining, going up on deck soaked me in about 10 seconds flat. I do like the wind though, running the wind generator! About 30 knots of wind, glad we’re Read More
