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.
Fort Clinch Up and at it early today to head back to Brunswick. The lat two times we've come to this area we're the only two times we've had to be towed. So today, our goal was our own power and success. The early morning fog proved beautiful and challenging, but we got to use… Continue reading A Return to Brunswick
One more day until our return to Brunswick (y'all are knocking on wood, right?). We tried a few new things, some good, some not so good. First off bagels....so good. When the captain is bored, I win. We heard from some people at the hot dog place, PJDs, that The Sandbar was a place to… Continue reading One more day….
Need we say more? 🍻 Cheers!
It was a busy day on the ICW. We toyed with the idea of heading offshore today, but the winds kicked up more than expected on our nose, so we are happy with the choice. As we approached Mayport, we were tempted to stay at the free dock we had heard about. But it was… Continue reading And on to Fernandina
After a few lovely days at a marina in Daytona, we once again headed north to St. Augustine. The winds were gusty bit out of the southeast, so we got a nice push from them. We even got the staysail out for a bit. While we were underway SV Flight Risk and SV Airborne passed… Continue reading A Return to St. Augustine
So we explored Daytona Beach. We were both expecting a little something different, but we enjoyed the walk. We were also glad we weren't sailing as there would have been goose bumps. But Daytona Beach!
The captain got thinking again while underway. 😳 (I saw a dolphin, so dolphin!!) So we trucked on through to Daytona today. And....we are at a Marina for the next four nights! We will sleep well without worrying about the starting batteries not working if we drag, dragging itself, the thunk of a mooring ball,… Continue reading And Now….New Symrna Daytona
The morning started without the engine starting...again. To say that we are happy that the 12:1 anchor chain to depth ratio held would be an understatement. But we do need to plan for contingencies. Regardless, the generator again saved the day, and off we were to Titusville. Jason baked a lovely loaf of bread while… Continue reading Surprises in Titusville
We have had several lessons during our short trip to Cocoa Village. 1. When the wind is strong and the protection doesn't exist, let out more chain. A 12:1 ratio may seem like a lot, but we will sleep better, eventually. 2. Don't forget that running an engine will heat up your shower water. That… Continue reading Lessons from Cocoa
It was nice to sleep in a bit and not worry about having to time bridges today. We were up to see our friends Kit and Lee headed south from Vero. Waves were exchanged from afar. 😊 As we were getting ready to depart, the engine wouldn't start. We've started to have sneaky suspicions about… Continue reading Headed to Melbourne….or Cocoa
