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.
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…
An early morning start hoping to get to Little Lake Worth by lunchtime. We only had 24 miles to go. But the tides, winds, and bridges were all aganst us. The Jupiter inlet skunked us. We could only make 3ish knots going through the 707 Bridge. And alas, that put us 5 minutes late for… Continue reading West Palm and Little Lake Worth
There is always something happening in Brunswick. We have had a few yummy dock parties (homemade pizza night and burgers and brats another). The Captain volunteered to help a friend return his boat to Brunswick. So off the Vero Beach to bring SV Jera back. The Random Number Generator forecast was just that. The seas… Continue reading Rarely a dull moment
Well, the Captain continues to do amazing things for meals on board. And we got to play "Which of these things doesn't belong. But the real news of the day is Boog. After more than three years in a boat, he has finally decided he needs to explore more. And we all have more grey… Continue reading Pride and Dismay
What is one to do? Well, the captain thought we should try making pretzels. It really is amazing how big they get when you boil them in water. We think they turned out great.😊
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
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
Hours of boredom with a few moments of terror. We started our morning in the calm waters of Key Largo. The water was glass. The winds -- well, there was no wind. Given the excitement and concern about the engine yesterday, having checked fluids, we opted to just baby the engine. The forecast was to… Continue reading Sailing is…
Given the mishaps of the misplaced phones, the first mate decided that she may need some wisdom from the Tree of Knowledge that is at the marina. Keep your fingers crossed! And it seems as though we could eat Mexican food daily. So the Captain is going to be able to perfect his tortilla recipe.… Continue reading Wish Upon A Tree
Some huevos rancheros to start the day seemed like a perfect start. And mmmm....they were good. Okay, so it's just the tortilla start, but hey, yummy! But somehow it was the First Mate's mind that was scrambled or fried. She somehow lost both the captain's phone and her phone in completely separate events early in… Continue reading The Mixed Up Mind of the First Mate
