Central America Caribbean » Bahamas January 27th 2014

Geo: 25.7167, -79.3We left Dinner Key Marina, stayed at No Name Harbour for one night to stage our 5am departure for the Bahamas. Happy to be in the crystal clear waters of the Bahamas! THIS is why we left the dock!!! Jan. 27th, 2014 – What a perfect Crossing!Hello all,We've arrived in Bimini!!! It was a PERFECT day! (Well, I thought so - maybe some would have preferred more wind.) At the very start of the day we still dealt with a few rollers, but they were soon "knocked down" by the southerly wind and we had a pretty flat sea for the majority of the crossing.It was HOT here today. So much warmer than it's been in Florida. Now it's cooling down…which will be wonderful for sleeping. And we WILL sleep well tonight! We were ... read more

Geo: 24.5541, -81.801We took a little trip to Key West while our nephew, William visited. Key West pics are up. Jan. 14th, 2014 – Manatee at the Dinghy DockHi Folks,Yes, we are still in Coconut Grove. Yes. We still love it here! There are a number of Manatee that we see at the dinghy dock on a regular basis. It seems like there's a family - two large ones and a baby. Here are some pictures of the largest one taking a drink of fresh water, and then taking a deep breath before swimming away. The novelty of seeing Manatee has not worn off, and I doubt it ever will! (I do, however, refrain from jumping up and down, screaming and pointing now. I can now just watch in awe!)When we come into the dinghy dock ... read more

Geo: 25.7269, -80.2348Dec. 24th, 2013 – Merry Christmas from Coconut Grove!Merry Christmas to all our Family and Friends!!!We are still in the Grove, loving it, and the weather. But it really doesn't feel like Christmas this year!!Brian & Jane (from EYC) arrived at Dinner Key Mooring field today. We are happy they are here so that we can do Christmas with close friends. It's feels pretty strange that we aren't sorting out schedules between family this year. In past years we'd be planning our time between pre-Christmas at Jim and Izzy's, staying at Marg & Dave's for Christmas, with Sarah and Will, where Mackenzie and Madison would join us and we'd all feast and play games. Then we'd be making a trip to Cornwall to see my Mom on Boxing Day. We miss all of you ... read more

Geo: 25.7119, -80.2611Dec. 12th, 2013 – St. Augustine to Coconut GroveHello everyone!Sorry for the lack of messages. Internet has become very difficult to find and most marinas have very weak wifi systems that don't work well at all. I spent an entire internet day in St. Augustine (it was rainy and cold) in the cruiser's lounge adding people to my blast list, and catching those folks up on the blasts I've sent so far. I've figured out that none of my emails transmitted that day, so if you are getting one of my blasts for the first time and you want the previous ones, please reply, and I will send them through again.Here's what we've been up to:We spent 10 days in Saint Augustine waiting out weather. There were three serious wind days where we hunkered ... read more
