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.
Several of us saw a weather window and decided it was the time to move on from Boot Key Harbor. We had a weenie roast to enjoy the camaraderie of friends old and new. And as we were parting, the realization that the “group” may never be together again set in. We have formed amazing… Continue reading A Beginning and an End
An early morning start as many boaters were leaving West End today. We helped several boats go, headed to the beach, Jason got his sunrise photo, then time to cast off our lines. We had a pretty short day with only 27 miles to go from West End to Lucaya (Freeport area on Grand Bahama… Continue reading On To Lucaya
Ladies, gents, small people, furry beings...we finally did it. The weather window looked worth it, and we went. It wasn't an easy decision. It was a decision wrought with sleeplessness, unhappy tummies, scrambling around for food, necessary boat items (because boat means break out another thousand....but not that bad), and simple stress. We've been further… Continue reading Step 2: Cross over…
Well, kids, we made Lake Worth to sit for the weather window. And it's a parking lot in here. There are hundreds of boats. Some will cross tomorrow. Some need to stay for various reasons. We visited Peanut Island for a day trip. A Kennedy Bomb Bunker is there. They are restoring it, and it… Continue reading West Palm Beach
An early morning off the free dock in Historic Cocoa after a great day with John, Sue, Gary, and Ann Marie. It was another long slog through the ICW, which is never fun on weekends in Florida. But we had a couple great surprises. First, as we were going under the bridge in Melbourne out… Continue reading And on to Vero
The original plan was to head to Titusville today, an easy 40 mile day. We left the dock promptly at 7:30, apparently 1 minute behind Dance Me. Well, Dance Me was making some time and would make Titusville by 2 p.m. So they were going to push on to Cocoa. We looked and got nervous… Continue reading And on to Cocoa
Another day in Fernandina as we sit out some winds. Before Jason and Barbara headed to shore, we realized that we hadn't been bobbing around for a while. Aahhh....back on the hook. Jason noticed a boat had started to drag anchor. And while they would likely recatch during low tide, we didn't want them to… Continue reading Animals and Anchors
Many projects were completed while we stayed in Brunswick. The Cap'n replaced the old batteries with new lithium batteries, we have a cool, new solar setup with some over the davits and some on our new hard top over the cockpit. We have a new dinghy motor and a water maker to give us a… Continue reading The 2024 Season Has Begun
Good news! As far as we know there has been no British invasion (with the exception of The Beatles playing at Patsy's in Washburn). And no, we aren't dyslexic. We just hiked around Meyers Beach (two by land) and kayaked in a single tandem kayak around the area. The weather looked to be perfect for… Continue reading Two if by land, one if by sea
We've been on our summer journey for a few weeks, but some times have been a little slower, some have had limited internet, and some have had so much the First Mate's brain melted a wee bit. So here are some random photos around Minnesota and Wisconsin. Tomorrow there will be something coherent. Zups in… Continue reading Wanderings About Town
