Let me first say there is just never enough time in the day to keep up on everything. I am so sorry this is so far delayed so I am doing one huge dump of photos from November and a list out the things that we were able to accomplish. Let me say that I…

Well after not having the ability to work on the boat for the past month, we are finally able to get started working on boat projects again. We have only been able to take and drop items to the boat along with items there were ordered and delivered for next projects. Today comes another drop…

After surviving the hurricane, we decided to leave for Annapolis early. We will be stopping in Savannah, GA for a few nights and then head out to VA to visit family before our final destination in Annapolis, MD for the largest US Sailboat Show. In Savannah, we walk the riverwalk and explore all of the…

Andy has been at the marina every day and some days a couple of times. This was a crazy storm. It turned south of us at the last minute and made landfall in Fort Myers just one mph short of a cat 5! We went out to the boat on the 28th (wed) as the…
