Follow me, Miss B, our two cats (Dora and Boog, aka. The Misfit Crew) on our crazy epic adventures aboard the SV Haven, a 38' Kadey-Krogen.
We splashed!! We splashed !! It has been a long four weeks. We enjoyed hot showers with unlimited water every day. We enjoyed lots of counter space. We questioned what one does with TVs so large or that much water. Our boat shaft needed to be replaced. Hey, we had one!!!! That extra turned into… Continue reading Where in the World is Waldo?
We wanted to stay a day in Lake Worth. We were a wee bit tired and the comfort of a dock was truly wonderful. But the winds were going to finally help us! Yeah! The Capt’n made an early morning run to West Marine for bilge pump hose and a hose clamp. Who doesn’t do… Continue reading And on to Fort Pierce
Ladies, gents, and all friends, we made it. We traversed 435 miles in 4 days, but we made it. The seas were following and then out of the southeast, which wasn’t in the forecast. We were tossed a smidge, but this wasn’t bad. Crossing No Name at 1:30, then crossing Old Rhodes at 5:30, but… Continue reading Boot Key!!
Well, we wish we had more time in Hope Town to explore, but we had to duck and run from the next storm front. Also we headed to Great Guana Cay and Orchid Bay Marina. We knew the Marina wasn't best for south winds, but as they clock around we will be fine. And the… Continue reading Great Guana Cay, Abaco
Well, after a day of fun in Spanish Wells we needed to run for cover from more weather. We headed north through the Sea of Abacos. The forecast seas were 3 feet on a 9 second interval. That they weren't, and the littler ones added to fun. Dance Me started off in the lead. They… Continue reading The Abacos…Finally!
Today was another crossing. It wasn't as big as some, but still open water for miles and miles. We jumped from the Berrys to Eleuthra today. The crew from Sirena told Colin and Sue (SV Dream Chaser's crew) about Egg Cay. While we had been planning to jump to Eleuthra, but we had a new… Continue reading Eleuthra and Egg Cay
We haven't left Lucaya yet. Colin and Sue arrive tomorrow. And then the weather is icky for a few days. So we went to Taino Beaxh, we went to the market, and we just chilled. Sometimes a quiet day to reflect brings more beauty than others. Of course, some days you just need snuggles too.
Lord, grant us a peaceful night and a perfect a perfect end....tomorrow is another day.
We've met some wonderful people here in West End. We are so lucky. Walking the beach or Settlers Point, we are so grateful to have made it this far. Engines, batteries, fluffy small four-legged felines, these are all considerations. Mid-afternoon yesterday the weather started to turn. Rain, wind, waves, all three....but we're here! And we… Continue reading A few days in West End and the Haven Crew and the blustery day
It was a day at anchor and not having to do much. We were able to sleep in, enjoy the boat rocking at anchor, and we could appreciate how fortunate we are. So Jason fixed things. Barbara typed 105 pages today. But we had Sundowners with new friends Jim and Sue on Blackthorn and Donna… Continue reading The Wee Ones on Adventure
