We’re hanging out in Lake Worth, waiting for a weather window to cross to the Bahamas. There’s a lot to see and do here, so we’re staying busy! One thing we’ve learned here: there’s always a bigger boat (and don’t worry, we’ve got photos)! The city of West Palm Beach is all decked out for Christmas, and we finally got to see their tree lit up! Plus, you won’t believe how many steps it takes us to get a package delivered here!
To speed up our trip south, we’re taking some offshore hops. If you’re looking for pics of a sunrise over calm seas, or tons of dolphins jumping out of the water, you’re in the right place!
We’ve covered a lot of ground in the last few days, and I’m stoked to tell you that we’re now in Florida!
We’re traveling south along the coast of North Carolina in the ICW. It’s been cold, but good! I can’t wait to get further south!
We’re desperately trying to get out of here, but since we’re pinned in place by some nasty weather, we’re making the most of our time at the marina! We’ve completed some great projects which should really add to our quality of life aboard!
We fielded a lot of interesting questions this summer as we visited family and friends. When the same questions come up again and again, you know it’s something that makes people curious! In this post we’re talking about youtube, whether we need a bigger boat, sailing at night, and more! If you’re thinking about full time cruising, this is definitely the post for you!
We preferred to ride out Hurricane Dorian on our boat, in a nice protected marina, where we could keep an eye on things. The wind picked up, the water started rising, and our situation got a little precarious!
We still fared far better than our friends in the Abacos, however. Having just visited the islands, we’re heart-broken to see the devastation this storm brought.
We spent a month at the marina, bouncing back and forth between boat projects and relaxing! With our to-do list out of the way, we can take off for a few months and visit friends and family!
Now that we’ve secured Hobbes for the summer, what are our plans? Read on to find out how we’re spending our summer, and what our cruising plans are for next year!
The final leg of our journey north was uneventful. The ICW was calm and boring, and after our last offshore trip that’s just what we needed. We saw some wildlife and did some sailing, but mostly we tucked in to our safe haven for the summer. We’re home!
We’re back in the States after an easy, gentle passage. I think we’re ready to call ourselves expert fishermen (fisherpeople? anglers?) after catching 10 fish on this passage! Of course, one of them literally flew into the cockpit, but we’re still counting that as a catch!
