by Michelle George After 8 glorious weeks aboard NYANGO the time came for me to leave. It wasn’t what I wanted but I’d already worn out my welcome, by weeks!!! I have a 97 year old Mother who had been chomping at the bit for me to return and Randall needed his space!!! Being in […]
We left Roatan Sunday. We had told everyone we were leaving around mid-morning and I’m sure our fellow cruisers were keeping an eye out to help with dock lines and to shout last good byes. Then, instead of leaving, Randall and Jake went on a last grocery run and Michelle and I went to the […]
We are ready to sail away to new shores. Unfortunately, Tropical Storm Sara has been slowly sauntering right across our desired path. We have had an ongoing drizzle/light rain from Sara’s outer bands. We have played a little gin rummy, done a couple of chores, read some books and made a few quick trips to […]
I know we gripe about boat haul-outs! It is hard to describe how inconvenient it is to have your home lifted up onto jackstands in the middle of a dirty shipyard. Many sailors don’t try to stay aboard during a haul out. Instead, they opt for a nice little palapa on the river. We talked […]
I have been going on a short run/walk every morning and loving it. The marina property stretches up from the water to include a little inland pond and surrounding hill. There is a nice rock and concrete path that starts in the mangroves, circles through a lime tree orchard and up a steep hill that […]
You never know what you will find at the twice monthly Boaters Flea Market. There is an ever-changing assortment of products. We headed to Nana Juana this morning to see what treasures we could find on sale. The flea market switches to different marinas. If we didn’t find anything to buy, Nana Juana is also […]
We went for a Sunday stroll yesterday. It is hard to describe the chaos of walking through town here. For starters, the traffic zips by your side with alarming closeness. Especially the semi’s wheels, whose tires roll by so close to your toes kinda cringe at the thought of getting rolled over. Take note also […]
Well sometimes there is not much to report from Foxtrot. However, since it is hump-day and you may need a diversion from whatever task is at hand at the moment, take a minute and be glad that you don’t operate the Boot Key Harbor Pump-out Boat. Yes, our fee at Boot Key Harbor includes one […]
We have had a nice, lazy week waiting around for the weekend. We met several new friends at Taco Tuesday night. While we were there, Lily talked with Reba of Tropical Fun about her sea glass jewelry. Reba sells her jewelry at some of the local events. We were excited to see her table later […]
We got back to the boat on Thursday. I know you are all curious how the boat fared while we were away. Well, there was a ten minute hunt through the cockpit for the hidden key. Finally it was located, Randall opened up the door and a thick mass of trapped moldy air came rolling […]
