Up bright and early to enjoy that morning cup of coffee before getting underway. Little did we know that we would have a farewell from Ed and Mari-Etta as we pulled away from the dock. What lovely folks! As Mari-Etta told me yesterday and I shared with a friend……you are allowed to be negative when READ MORE

A New Day is Dawning
Much like a child at Christmas, everyone was up out of the bed at 5:30 this morning. The high tide of 6:19 a.m. will help our exit out of the channel. We were able to have a pizza party with Ed and Mari-Etta and bid our farewell. They have been busy with house and boat READ MORE
Oh Yeah!
We are on our way! Well we will leave Tavernier tomorrow morning and then cross to Bimini on Saturday. After another grueling wait outside the “walk in” clinic and then the swab test of the sinus cavity, we are cleared to go. Once we had our results all we needed to do was upload them READ MORE
De’ja Vu
We have honored the quarantine and are about ready to break loose but once again we are at the mercy of the testing sites. Unfortunately (I am not sure I have mentioned this before) there are no home test kits to be found anywhere in the area. Heck even Amazon says it will not have READ MORE
Going With the Boys
Another post about logistics that need to be considered when traveling. Yes…..the boys! They are adorable and have such different personalities. Jaxon is the cautious one while Cooper still believes the world is HIS oyster. Cooper tends to bring Jaxon out of his shell a bit but there are days Jaxon would just like to READ MORE
Crucial To Our Trip
When considering what to write about some days, I have often been told that folks want to hear some of the “basics” about a cruisers life. While Greg and I “cruise” for six months or so, we are not the typical 24/7, 365 days a year cruiser. But whatever the definition is for you, there READ MORE
Seriously?
With all systems a go, all we need to do is get up and go get our COVID Rapid Antigen test performed. A small window is open to crossed Thursday through Friday and not much thereafter for a bit so now is the time. Ed and Mari-Etta were kind enough to loan us their car READ MORE
Last Minute Checks
Much like the space shuttle command countdowns, we go through our own systems checks to ready for departure. This is the last opportunity to get “parts”, oil, fuel at a “reasonable” price and within a reasonable amount of time. While it is available in the Bahamas, it is actually shipped in with a hefty freight READ MORE
Waiting on a Window
Why does it always seem to be a mad “rush” to hurry up and wait? We rush back from the holidays, rush to get provisions, fuel, Pumpout, refrigeration checked and now WAIT! The weather has to be favorable, not to mention the tide has to be up for us to get out of where we READ MORE
A Whirlwind Of Excitement
We did it! With the boys all checked out by the doctor and approved for travel, we packed up and headed home the afternoon of the 20th. We left around 4:00 with the hopes that the boys would sleep in the car on the way. WRONG! Seems they were just as excited as we were READ MORE
