This is our last day in the US for awile. I am very exided about The Bahamas. I’m stil hoping to see a shark. And catch fish. We have had fun in Miami and Biscayne Bay. 2 days ago I caht this crab in Elliott Key. I named him CJ (Cam and Joellen). He did…
So true indeed and one that I am continuing to work on. As we continue with our journey, we are finding that we are waiting a lot these days…….. Waiting for the weather Currently, we are in Biscayne Bay south of Miami and just north of the Keys while we wait for a weather window…
Provisioning. It’s a subject that liveaboard cruisers discuss often, along with subjects like anchors and the head. Last month I went to a seminar at the Miami Boat Show called “Cruising for Women”. We discussed everything from docking to doing laundry by hand to provisioning. The provisioning advice that was given was take what you like to…
Yes we are alive! And we are in Miami! I always pictured myself one day going to Miami and it being like the Will Smith video “Welcome to Miami”. You know, driving down the street in a convertible, hitting South Beach and salsa dancing till the wee hours of the morning. Reality check…we drove down…

We are three weeks into our journey and continue to meet a number of new friends and cool people. Our dock neighbors: Ann and Dave: This couple is in the uber cool category. They circumnavigated the world on a 7 year journey and are saving money to venture out again. Both are very laid back…
