Hello all.  Sorry for the delay in updating but we have not been able to get onto the internet for some reason….and it has taken us quite a while to even find an internet cafe in Grand Cayman!
Anyway, we arrived here late Thursday night.  We checked into Customs the next morning, only to learn we [...]

Here we are cruising the Yucatan Channel, on our way to Grand Caymen.  Yes, we have decided not to go to Belize due to the rough seas going that way…..and because we can!  After sailing the coast of Cuba all day Monday we set out to cross the Gulf Stream to Belize…..it was very rough [...]

Well, we set sail again after Easter Breakfast on Sunday morning. Dan, Mollie and the kids drove to Key West to see us off again (and to bring us some parts…talk about service!!). We managed a little Easter Hunt on the boat for the kids before we took off.
We had a calm sail this time thru [...]

A quick note to let you know we are all safe and sound in Key West.  Not our plan, but as we set sail yesterday afternoon we headed for the Gulf.  We ran into some trouble with our Auto Pilot and few other minor things last night and decided it best to get parts while [...]

We finally set sail today at 1:30pm.  What a mix of emotions! Excitement, Fear, Love, Harmony and Shock!….you name it, we are feeling it! Mike captained us out of the canal.  Everyone along the canal was waving and wishing us well as we sailed out to the ocean. I think we may be somewhat famous here in the [...]

Today we found Wilson floating down the canal!  Apparently he is upset with the delay in our departure and decided to jump ship and travel without us.  Luckily Dan saw him floating all alone in the canal and Mike was able to save him.  He is back on board and happy again.
We are in final [...]

What a week!  We enjoyed Family & Friends all week. What a fun party time we had.  Friday night we had a BBQ for 50 people and celebrated the many birthdays of March and April.  Happy Birthday today to Esther Dawson and Gary!!
Saturday some of us snorkeled and went diving while the others took up most of [...]

We arrived in Key Largo, Florida on Thursday, March 5th after a 6 1/2 day sail from St. Thomas.  It was quite adventurous!  We had some rough seas along the way but Shellette handled beautifully, as did the crew!  The five of us; Marnie, Mike, Gary, Dan and Troy, all worked 3 hour shifts around [...]

Just a little update for you.  We haven’t updated the website yet but wanted to give you an update.  Mike and I arrived in Tortoal on Friady evening.  We have been working hard on the boat and are physically sore….but emotionally fantastic.  I received word on Saturday that my car is, in fact sold….at first, [...]

Work continues on the boat currently dry docked in Tortola, B.V.I.  We anticipate launching the boat February 20th and working on any punch list items, then sailing to Key Largo,Florida on February 28th.
We will arrive in Florida around March 5th where we will do more prep work on the boat and provision.  We will host [...]
