Written by Camden On Sunday I met real fishermen. They have a 55 foot sport fishing boat called Hope. I was asking them lots of fishing questions for a few hours. Then, the best thing ever happened.They asked me if my dad and I wanted to go fishing with them the next day. I ran…
After we left Bimini, we sailed with our friends from S/V Rhiannon for three consecutive days but were able to sleep at night at anchor. The first day we sailed for eleven hours straight east across the Bahama Banks where it is only 15 feet deep.We trolled even though we knew in 15 feet of water we…
This post is written by Camden. Tuesday we left Miami at 5am. But I was still asleep. When the sun started rising, I jumped out of my bed, and I asked my dad if we could start trolling for fish. He said yes so I got out my stinky ballyhoo for bait.I could not stop smiling because I was fishing and I was…
Last Wednesday our really good friend, Zach Frank, flew from Atlanta to Florida and boarded Adagio to sail with us down the coast to Miami. Marc met Zach in middle school and they were best friends for two years. Then Zach moved to Cincinnati and Marc and Zach lost touch. But Marc and Zach ran…
Adagio splashed 7 days ago and she is happy to be back in the water and so are we. Here she was on the hard last week and being transported back to the water. We have been busy this last week unpacking, provisioning, and meeting other boaters. Here’s Camden on the boat with our boxes from…
We are back! The Konesco Crew arrived in Fort Pierce, Florida last Friday, June 20. Marc estimated we would arrive at 6:30 am and we sailed in at 7 am. Impressively close calculations! But let me take a few steps back to a week and a half ago… On Friday, June 13 we dropped Marc’s cousin Kelsey…
Camden turned the Big 8 yesterday. His only request for his birthday was to go deep sea fishing. No surprise there! Cam started the day by baking his cake with me and opening up presents. He got a Tervis Tumbler with the Hope Town lighthouse and fish on it.And he got this shirt which I’m sure he…
A week ago we left New Providence around 4 pm and set off toward The Abacos. We knew the trip would take over 15 hours so we sailed mostly at night so the kids could sleep through it. The winds were around 20 knots and the seas were around 6 feet. The winds and seas…
As we began this journey, we had a desire to learn to fish. For me (Marc), I grew up fishing bass in ponds and then up in Canada in Lake Erie but it was something I did occasionally and wasn’t very good at. My Grandpa Joe found such joy in it and was a darn good fisherman. I know…
