Polite Compromise

Vessel Name: Compromise
Vessel Make/Model: Beneteau/Oceanis 41
Hailing Port: Houston Texas
Crew: Karen and Ron Anderson
About: Married for 44 years. Kids grown and gone. Decided we wanted another adventure (like raising kids wasn't enough) and brag about it. The commodore and I are off on another one of our adventures.
Extra: I was once told that the secret to a successful marriage is polite compromise. I'm still not sure what is so polite about it.

Hello Panama

Another new stamp in my passport

It's time to move!! We left the Rio in late October, traveling for a while with Kemah friends, Tracie and Steve on "Saga Sea". Once we reached open water, they turned north to Belize and we went south to Honduras. The main areas of the Bay Islands of Honduras are Utilla, Roatan, Guanaja, and Cayos [...]

Stuff Happens

There is really only one word to describe the Rio Dulce in August/September… HOT! It is the rainy season so you get wet at least once a day, but overall it is just miserably hot! No breeze to cool off with but you open the hatches anyway. Bugs are out and mosquitos are everywhere.

Summer is racing past! It’s the end of August already and we are starting to make tentative plans for whatever comes next.

Bienvenido a Rio Dulce Guatemala

We left Key West and motor sailed for three days, arriving in Isla Mujeres Mexico on April 14th. Trying to stay out of the Gulf Stream, we went south to get close to Cuba (about 10-20 miles offshore) and take advantage of a small counter-current. Once we passed Cuba and entered the Yucatan Straits, [...]

Good bye Bahamas

It has been a busy past few months! We left Titusville in early January and moved south, arriving in Fort Lauderdale on the 14th. We stayed just long enough to pick up mail, resupply the galley, take Ron to the dentist, and wait for that all important Weather Window. We pared up with another boat, [...]

Staniel Cay

Finally had time and Internet to update our blog. Spent the last three days in Warderick Wells Cay due to weather. It was a rough Nor'wester and miserable. Monday rolled around and the weather was nice so we motor sailed to Staniel Cay. At present we are anchored in between Big Majors and Littles Majors Cay just a quick dinghy ride to Staniel Cay. We will be here a while waiting on our mail to catch up and hoping the present westerlies switch to prevailing East Sou'easters. Tomorrow we will explore more of the island. Will try to get more snorkeling in and get some videos of the coral heads that abound here. I still haven't figured out how to use that damned GoPro yet. When I do, I will post some good videos. Ron
