Anchored in Lake Sylvia at Ft Lauderdale North America » United States » Florida » Fort Lauderdale

Nasty night last night. Winds all night about 30 kts over a lot of open water. Kept thinking I was dragging anchor but didn't. Finally got up at 3:30 and started working on the heat exchanger. Finally got the piece if rubber in place and had to join three hose clamps to clamp it off. Got everything back together at dawn. It still leaks a little but it will hold me until I get at least to Miami tomorrow where I will try to order another online. May be about $800.Or if it doesn't leak all that much I'll fix it [View Full Entry]

Not a good day North America » United States » Florida » West Palm Beach » Palm Beach

Left the anchor at dawn. Ran with the two boats that I rafted up with in Vero Beach. Nice people. They ran at different speeds than my boat is used to and I think it vibrated a bracket off of my heat exchanger. This caused a leak. I made it to the anchorage which is in a place called Lantanna just south of West Palm Beach. Found the leak and got a piece of rubber to try to clamp it around the heat exchanger but the clamp is too big. Hope I can catch one of the other boats before they [View Full Entry]

"Best Of" Photo Gallery/After-Trip Postscript: After the Trip North America » United States » Illinois » Chicago

Cathedral Sophie

Saturday, November 25, 2009 Postscript/Overview of Blog: 3 Months after the trip... Well, it’s almost 3 months since my return from the summer 2009 Chicago, Illinois to St. Lake City, Utah roundtrip drive, camping the entire month. Sophie, my traveling companion, drove a total of 6,000 miles, driving through 11 states, and returning safely back home to Chicago with 3 weeks to unwind before returning to my position as a university writing instructor. Watching the Ken Burn’s excellent 12-hour National Park series on PBS, I was glad to have “beaten” [View Full Entry]

Brunch efter Marco's optrÃ¦den

Nu er der gået 2 uger så tænkte at jeg hellere måtte tage mig sammen og få skrevet en update. Ugen fra d.16 november til d. 22 var egentlig bare en almindelig skole uge med skole, lektier og træning. Torsdag havde vi besøg af en afrikansk håndtrommeslager. Han fortalte om afrikanske trommer og den forskellige lyde de kan lave og hvordan man spiller på dem. Han fortalte også om kulturen og historien bag dem. Han lærte os også at spille nogle simple melodier på trommerne. Det var helt vildt sjovt og lærerigt. Han brændte virkelig for at spille på tromme, og [View Full Entry]

Thanksgiving Extravaganza North America

Marilyn, Kathy and Jim
Here's a shot of my Aunt's and Uncle's in front of dinner. We had the best time.

Thanksgiving Dinner The buildup for Thanksgiving was huge. I started it by asking Jim if Grace and I could come by and see him in my RV. He thought that would be great and bought a ticket for my Aunt Marilyn to come down too and stay for Thanksgiving. Then my Aunt Kathy wanted to come too, so she brought her whole family as well. There would be 11 of us all together facing down a 22 lb bird - we won! Marilyn arrived on Sunday and Grace and I arrived on Tuesday with Anderson driving in from Savannah where he's [View Full Entry]

false starts and dehydration..... North America » United States » New Jersey » Brigantine

I am soooooo tired. After a few false starts last night, we finally got on the road around 4:30am after staying up til 2am. A bittersweet drive away from home and all of the wonderful people there...After I stopped dehydrating myself through my eyes, we were on our way through Manhattan, the Holland Tunnel and somewhere along 78W in Jersey. We had to stop in Lebanon for some sleep as the sun wasn't rising soon enough for me to stay awake. Much thanks to Jeff and his insight on sleeping indoors as every nook and cranny of the car is packed!!!! [View Full Entry]

A Promise Fulfilled (Half Fulfilled Anyway) North America » United States » Wyoming » Jackson Hole

Christmas Tree for Next Year?
We passed this tree two days after we killed one for Jesus. I still like ours but this one is fuller and was just the right size...maybe next year?!?!

Mark Posting (please note that many of the pictures do not correspond to the blog - most are from a walk we took yesterday): I need to write something so that Liz does not completely hijack the blog. Unfortunately this will be the third entry in three days so the amount of untold material is limited. Therefore it is perfect timing to fulfill a promise I made a while back to convey our "national lampoon's" camping stories from this past summer. Liz and I have already referred to ourselves as Clark and Ellen Griswold on a couple occasions and these stories [View Full Entry]

Who Says You Need To Leave The Country To Travel? North America » United States » Minnesota » Minneapolis

How do you define traveling? Some countries or thoughts that may come to mind include: Sierra Leone, scuba diving off of Belize, or perhaps a family vacation to Europe. I partly define traveling by a change in my state of mind, where I am transported into such a different environment that I learn to see people, ideas, cultures, languages, religious, notions and ways of doing things differently. This is not surprising, given that when you travel, you may surprise yourself: you may learn that you are much more open than you thought you were; you may also learn that you can [View Full Entry]
