With another storm system in the forecast, we needed an anchorage that had protection from the southeast through northeast as wind was expected to shift with a cold front coming down from the states. We set our sights on Little Harbour since it is protected from most wind directions and the ocean swell if…
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 finally made it out of Florida with our trip from St. Augustine, FL to Savannah, GA. We were super excited to cross this milestone off our list. We finally found a weather window to travel the 147nm / 27 hours offshore and up the Wilmington River to stay at the Thunderbolt Marina. For…
We had a lovely and busy stay in Titusville and Orlando but it was time to move on to St. Augustine. We had this stop on our “must do” list from the start of this adventure. Justin has family just north in Jacksonville but we’ve only just visited St. Augustine for lunch at Cap’s…
After leaving Marathon / Boot Key, we made our first turn north and up the east coast of Florida. Since our boat draft is too deep for the rest of the Keys and with Miami not really being our scene, we headed to Boca Raton to see our friends Joe and Bree. We met…

Upon coming back from Utah in June, we started our preparations for getting the boat into full cruising mode. We had, and still have, the plan of leaving Texas waters to Florida and beyond after the2021 holidays. One quick way to get everything ready was to participate in the Harvest Moon Regatta once more.…
We finally find ourselves back on Nymeria. We’ve been gone nearly eight months. The last three weeks of which has been a spiraling road-trip to get us here. What started as a simple need to get the truck from Utah to Texas turned into quite an adventure. As we were planning the trip to…
As I write this, there are only 8 days left in the year 2020. I can honestly say that this year has been very challenging and I will be happy to see him go. (Yes, I’m using the male pronoun here on purpose.) In my almost 45 years of being alive, 2020 is definitely…
I discovered aviation at a very young age. I remember pouring over aviation book and reading about pretty much every aircraft that existed. By (insert arbitrary young age here) I could identify nearly any airplane that I saw. I was certain that I was going to be a pilot when I grew up. Well,…
