Cruising Aboard Tobias with Suzie and Kirby

I stuck my head outside the cabin yesterday just long enough to take this picture. We are in Daytona Beach, FL having a WOW day. That's Waiting on Weather - again! The wind was howling at 25 - 37 MPH, kicking up whitecaps in the anchorage and boats were dragging anchor all over the place. Fortunately we were set tight and stayed put but we were bouncing around all day with the waves slamming into us. I felt like we were at sea as I needed to hang on when I moved around the boat! It was not a pretty day but we enjoyed it all the same with reading and doing boat projects. The sun is shinning this morning but it is cold and the wind, although calmed somewhat is still roaring through the anchorage so I think we will just stay right here.

Comments

Vessel Make/Model:	Freedom 35 - TOBIAS is named for a creek in the Sierras where we camped many times, Suzie proposed to Kirby and then spent our honeymoon. We love both the boat TOBIAS and the creek TOBIAS!
Hailing Port:	Charleston, SC but we are really from Southern California
Crew:	Suzie and Kirby Townsend
Extra:	We are actually from Southern California and sold our last sailboat in Mexico. We decided to go east to purchase our next boat so we traveled to Maryland where we found Tobias. We spent the winter of 2006 living aboard and preparing Tobias to go cruising. In May we departed and headed north. We [...] went as far as Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia and then headed back down south. We have completed our cruise of the Bahamas and will be going north again as far as Maryland. More
