Approaching Spanish Cay on Tuesday morning, Justin radioed ahead to check on the process for customs. Do they board? Do we wait on board until the captain has us cleared in? Frankly the energy aboard was palatable, albeit tempered slightly with the realization that ‘they’could decide we weren’t suitable for entry. Quinn quickly straightened up […]
Three days ago we got to the Bahamas and Mangrove Cay and then Spanish Cay. In Spanish Cay I caught a nurse shark and Gherty caught a reef shark and we both caught yellow snappers and I caught a yellow and white and black fish.
Today, June fifteenth we are in Spanish Cay! Second day we went snorkeling. I loved it. I saw 2 baby baracudas. They were following us! When we just got at the marina there were lots of sharks everywhere!! When we ran out of gas (in the motor) [not exactly…] Dad had to paddle all the […]
We’ve seen a lot of reefs and sea creatures! We went close to an island to anchor. We went swimming in 8 ft. water and we all went to the bottom. Che went first, then I did; after me, went Quinn. Then in the morning we went to a marina. Where we are now! […]
We left Palm Beach just after day break on Monday, by all forecasts a stellar day for a cross Gulf Stream sail. The sea was flat, my friends. We found the shelf dropped quickly and with it our bearings. Literally. The depth stopped reading, which is a bit unnerving when you are heading for water […]
I love you Dad. Thanks for all you do and have done. Today I was lucky to wake to a pile of kids on me and homemade presents and notes. Great day. Beam reach to Lake Worth to plan our Gulf Stream crossing. Chris Parker (undisputed weather routing guru) says “High confidence Mon13 is […]

After st. Augistine we went to fort pierce were we are now. To get here mom and dad sailed over night. We got to watch two movies. We are at a marina. Were also all most stuck in the mud. There is a lot of sea life here. This water is also mixed. There are […]
I saw a manatee. a lotof sea turtles a green sea turtle and a loggerhead sea turtle.a bunch of dolphins……………
I love sailing at night and I really don’t as well. I love the serene reaching hours under the stars with kindly seas, dolphins checking in and phosphorescent galaxies strewn in our wake. Children asleep, Kelly and I sitting watch or sleeping in the cockpit offering to relieve each other and fighting to stay up […]
