Hello all.
We still own Gypsy and she is still in St Pete FL. She has been a great boat all of these years. Just finishing up installing a new set of Samson Posts. All went well. Hope to start posting more often. Any other KK's out there?

Looking for my "Lost shaker of salt"...

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.
