Now that we have lived on the boat with Starlink for so long, one major drawback has been its power usage. Because we like to have great internet connection at all times, we tend to leave Starlink running 24-7 unless we are at anchor for an extended period. Just having the device powered on…
We enjoyed our time in Southport, NC but we were there for a bit longer than we would have liked and through a good weather window to go offshore to Charleston, SC. Part of our longer stay was due to needing some time to recoup from our offshore passage but also to have a…
We have been on the go since leaving Annapolis last December. Having made it down to the Bahamas and back up to the Chesapeake Bay, we knew that we had to address the boat projects that were piling up. Justin and I also needed to take a break ourselves to rest up and recharge…
In our last post, we were having some engine overheating troubles which we were able to determine were caused by heat exchanger issues (blocked tubes and a worn cap seal divider). After a few weeks of problem solving and rushed shipments from Beta Marine, we were fairly confident that we had fixed the issues…
Since our last post in the Bahamas, we safely and quietly made it back to the states and have been making our way up the East Coast. We made a beautiful 250nm from the Bahamas to St. Augustine then an uneventful 195nm offshore to Charleston. We’ve enjoyed visiting some of our favorite places from…
After spending 3 nights at Manjack/Nunkack Cay and after being away from “civilization” for a bit, we were excited to head to Green Turtle Cay. This island is only 3 miles long but divided into 2 halves with the White Sound to the North and the Black Sound to the South. The White Sound…
We were happy to spend 3 nights at the marina in Spanish Cay to sit out weather but it was time to move on. With more rain in the forecast, we took in local knowledge and decided to head to the protected Northern anchorage of Manjack/Nunjack Cay (it is known by either name, depending…
After leaving Key West, we spent 3 weeks in Marathon / Boot Key before heading out of the Keys to our current location, Boca Raton, FL. We traveled the 50nm / 8hrs to the Safe Harbor Marina due to some generator issues. Without a functional generator, we were not able to use our water…
Shannon and I have lived onboard Nymeria for over five years now. Much of that time was spent tied up and plugged in at a marina. Since arriving in the Florida Keys over a month ago, we’ve spent nearly all of it on a mooring ball. For as much time as I spent studying…
Since our trip from Galveston didn’t quite end as planned, we are determined to make the most out of our stay here in Mobile Bay as we await repairs to get back underway. To end our trip around Louisiana, we were planning on anchoring at Dauphin Island for a few nights then heading into…
