Sunday Walk
We went for a Sunday stroll yesterday. It is hard to describe the chaos of walking through town here. For starters, the traffic zips by your side with alarming closeness. Especially the semi’s wheels, whose tires roll by so close to your toes kinda cringe at the thought of getting rolled over. Take note also […]
Yummy Ceviche
Our friend Bryan dropped by the boat earlier this week. He works on boats around town but also just finished his culinary training. He asked us if we liked ceviche. He got a loud and clear “Si” to that question. He offered to come back later in the week and make some for us. We […]
Back in Gorgeous Guatemala
We are back aboard SV Nyango after a busy spring and summer remodeling Basecamp Nyango. We now officially have an awesome little home in Sweetwater, OK. I still can’t believe it turned out so well. Last March, we left the sailboat in Cayo Quemado at Crow’s Nest Marina to come back to Sweetwater and get […]
Hump Day in the Harbor
Well sometimes there is not much to report from Foxtrot. However, since it is hump-day and you may need a diversion from whatever task is at hand at the moment, take a minute and be glad that you don’t operate the Boot Key Harbor Pump-out Boat. Yes, our fee at Boot Key Harbor includes one […]
Key West With Cousins!
Sunday was Randall’s 47th Birthday. We don’t have much of a birthday tradition so it was perfect luck that Wendy, Ernest and Hope were in Key West with a few hours away from their Disney cruise. We had a super time starting with lunch at Sloppy Joes. Beer, Sloppy joes and dirty fries – are […]
Thanksgiving Potluck at Marathon City Marina
We threw a couple of pots into the Thanksgiving Potluck at the Marathon City Marina today. It was fun. It was a feast. I think our boat is now sitting a little low in the water. Before the meal, the marina kids decorated a turkey made of “What I Am Thankful For” feathers. Everyone colored […]
Isla Mujeres to Key West
We left Isla Tuesday evening. This required a visit with Inga. We may now always refer to her as Isla’s Inga. Anyone who ever stayed at El Milagro must leave with fond memories of Inga. Or, at least, strong memories. In anticipation of our departure, Randall says to me, “We need to find out from […]
Eating Well With Friends
Well Michelle has been keeping us up past our bedtime. There is a quite varied and interesting world which emerges after dark that we tend to know little about so it is good to have her along for these after-dark forays. However, before the nightlife, we had a full schedule of Isla touring. Lily was […]
Having Fun With New Friends and One Very Special Old Friend
We have had a nice, lazy week waiting around for the weekend. We met several new friends at Taco Tuesday night. While we were there, Lily talked with Reba of Tropical Fun about her sea glass jewelry. Reba sells her jewelry at some of the local events. We were excited to see her table later […]
