> I hope you can make out the puffer fish in this picture. He makes a mean face. It must be especially appalling to be caught by a pink Barbie Net toting four year old.

Happy (late) Birthday Mom
> Mom turned 73 last week. She’s been telling people “63” and then realizing, a little alarmed, that she’s off by ten years. Her computer has been down for several months and that internet stuff was cancelled a year ago due to lack of use. Now, she’s taking a computer class, five days a week […]
Brunswick Historic Buildings
> Trim carpenters just don’t get jobs like this anymore. The Glynn County Court House (top pic) in Brunswick is surrounded by restored Victorian-era Painted Ladies like this one. Most of them have law firm occupants rather than families. I hope they offer their clients sweet tea and peach pie with their “the law is […]
Boat Bread
> Randall made bread in the pressure cooker. When the lid came off, we weren’t sure about it at all. Then, it had to be pried out of the pan. It came out looking like a cheese cake. It was, despite out doubts, incredibly delicious. Pressure cooking is an art on boats. It saves fuel […]
Work Wanted
> I know you get tired of hearing from me. So here is a post written from Jake’s perspective (how he’d have written it if he has time/inclination/interest in sharing). Spending time with my parents is ok. Dinnertime, that is. I like spending dinnertime with my parents particularly on those occasions when steak or shrimp […]
Former Crew Salute: Michelle George
> Michelle often describes herself as a gypsy. She travels. She avoids buying stuff, opting instead for a life of experience rather than things. She works intermittantly, saving furiously for the next trip. She is drawn to new people everywhere she goes and takes up with them as old friends. Her lastest experience – 53 […]
Eating watermelon in Brunswick, GA
>We have been making our way up the Florida coast, overnighting in Cape Canaveral and Fernandina Island. Jake caught the biggest waves yet at Fernandina Beach and the marina is right at the heart of the quaint little island tourist town. It was very nice but we decided to continue North as Florida has that […]
Fort Pierce, FL
>We made great time from Marathon Key to Fort Pierce Fl thanks to the Gulf Stream. It is strange to go 7 knots in 0 knots of wind. All night long we coasted, listening to the Coast Guard broadcast a message to area vessels to be on the lookout for another sailboat, Pisces, which was […]
Salute to Richard Gordon Pixley
>Larry Joe is an outlaw. What laws have been compromised, we didn’t ask. His stories were too enthralling to interrupt. Most of the time, you hear a stranger’s stories and must picture the characters involved. But Larry Joe carries a little photograph album in his back pocket. He pulled out the tattered little album proudly […]
Bahia Honda State Park
> Lily is shown above singing and hanging out her laundry. I know you think we are always doing laundry but today we actually swam, snorkled, walked Chewy on the Bahia Honda State Park trails and shared a pint of ice cream in the cockpit. Chewy got thrown off the no-dogs-allowed beach and pouted in […]
