Well, we finally left Stuart, Florida Thursday (January 27th) after a false “start” on Sunday. We met some very nice people who are headed in the same direction we are, Jesse & Ginny on Wind Dust and decided we would travel together (we call this buddy boating). The plan was to leave on Sunday AM but we both woke up to very cold weather and not so pleasant winds. We all decided it didn’t sou... Read Full Entry

Like so many others we love to travel and we love to sail so cruising makes a lot of sense. Janice has retired from Cornell as a business manager and Bob has retired from South Seneca school district as the high school principal. It's time to sell the house, get rid of whatever doesn't fit on our 40 foot Caliber LRC named Tsamaya (this means Travel Well in Setswana) and set off to see the world.

Open Says Me!

This is only one of the many bridges we had to pass through while traveling from Ft. Lauderdale to Miami.

One of the originals

Here is an example of one of the little places still left in place on the ICW, however, we noticed that many were being sold and mega-mansions were being put in their place. It was nice to see that some of the quaint little places still remain.

Sunken Sailboat

We always hate to see signs of a sunken boat such as this one that we saw on our trip down the ICW.

Tsamaya Sailing!

Our friends were able to take this photo of Tsamaya while we were sailing to Miami. It was great to be sailing again

View of Miami

Here is our buddy boat, Wind Dust, with the city of Miami in the background

Lincoln Theatre

Art Deco area of South Beach

There are numerous art deco buildings in the South Beach area of Miami Beach

Miami government center

Here are only a couple of the courthouses located in downtown Miami

Jesse & Ginny of SV Wind Dust

We had a great lunch together with Jesse & Ginny in Miami. They have been great to spend time with and buddy boat with.

Star Island Mansion

This is a mansion on Star Island in Miami. Lots of well known stars live on this island that we just so happen to be anchored next to.

An Interesting Sighting

It was interesting to see this out on the tables at a restaurant in Miami – we definitely aren’t in Kansas (or upstate NY) anymore!

Morning View

An early morning view of Miami from our anchorage

A great Cuban Cafe

We had a delicious Cuban meal at the Café Versailles. When we came out we saw that there was a café where gentlemen gathered for coffee and socializing at the take out café.

Enjoying Miami

As you can see we are enjoying the sunshine having lunch outside in February in Miami Beach FL

thinking
We enjoy your blog entries and think of you both often. You are 'missing' quite the weather and winter of 2011! It must be so wonderful to be in shorts all day and on the water as well. Have always yearned to swim year round, maybe someday, when we retire! The spring production is Cinderella on a huge new stage, with 16 ft tall platforms instead of 8! Take Care Kate and Gary Hunt
