Laving Ft Myers Beach
The time has come to get going again. Hard to believe that we have been here almost a month. But, weather permitting we will pull out no later than Monday the 25th. We are now truly serious cruisers even though we are still just rednecks with a boat. We sold the truck yesterday which was out last [...]

Boat life
I'm reminded today how much different boat life is from living on dirt. Some things are easier and better. For instance, we very quickly know almost all our neighbors in any anchorage we stop. Almost all are ready to help with anything from advice to repairs and parts. Local knowledge gets shared [...]

Now in Mantanzas Harbor
Well it has been a while since I updated this so here goes. Obviously we did pull out of Clearwater leaving, reluctantly, behind some very good new friends that we hope to see again.

Christmas Boat Parade
Last night was the annual Christmas boat parade down here. There were lots of boats all highly decorated. Most were in the 60+ ft category. Most had lots of people aboard and lots of music was playing. But my favorite was this guy all by himself in his little dinghy. He was having a great time. I don't know how he managed to power all the lights in just a dink but I want to know what kind of alternator he is running.
Old Friends
Gina hasn't changed much and many of you all out there will recognize her from the picture. I on the other hand have gotten lots older.
