Believe it or not, we do actually go cruising on Gypsy in between boat projects. Lisa hamming in up on Egmont Key, just outside of Tampa Bay. Notice Gypsy lying patiently in the background.

Well, as Capt. Ron would say.... "If it's gonna happen..... It's gonna happen out there"! We managed to somehow get our anchor and chain completely fouled and wrapped multiple times around an underwater wreck in about fifteen feet of water. I did my best to free the anchor, to include diving down to try and free it up. After several tries in ZERO visibility murky water, we decided to "Cut 'er loose"... and live to sail another day. And that's why you always carry a spare. Looks like I will be anchor shopping in the near future.

Sarasota Florida has a great anchorage right next to the downtown area. Lisa and I were just winding down watching ANOTHER great sunset after a nice day of exploring the Main street area that was full of pubs, restaurants, shops, and even a farmer's market on saturday.
Life is good!

We are fortunate to have a few good spots around Tampa Bay to drop the hook for the night. On this night we have a great view of "The Pier" in St Petersburg. We really love it in St Pete. The skyline is very nice, especially at night. And there is always something going on around here.

Lisa was having a good time at the helm. The great thing about this boat is, once the sails are balanced, she sails herself.

We were out for a nice sail in Tampa Bay. As you can see, even though Gypsy is cutter rigged, the previous owners had her set up as a sloop to free up some deck space for coastal cruising. We will eventually convert her back to a "cutter" before we go long distance.
