Sailing Simple Life: Back in the USA
http://sailingsimplelife.blogspot.com/2016/05/back-in-usa.html
Sunday, May 1, 2016. Back in the USA. Our Bahamas departure across the Little. Bahama Bank was smooth as glass. Sunset on the Little Bahama Banks. Leaving the Bahamas is always an emotional time for me and for Joe. There are no bogos in the Bahamas. There are even fewer markets. I bought cheesecake for Joe. I'd forgotten about that, too. There was an aisle with two for ones! Let's not forget the charms of TJMaxx. I stopped there, too. The stores are in the same plaza. Bought myself a new line...Vero Beac...

Liquid Desert: November 2015
http://moonlightsue.blogspot.com/2015_11_01_archive.html
Just us and our cat heading out on the liquid desert looking for new lands to explore. The Plans Have Arrived. The boat plans arrived in the mail on Saturday. Keith spent all evening going through them quite thoroughly. I will do the same after Thanksgiving, and after decorating for Christmas. We have been discussing the little "personal" changes we will make to the boat when we build it. I'll discuss those as the changes commence. We are considering a new name. The Waiting won't be the Hardest Part.

Liquid Desert: April 2016

Just us and our cat heading out on the liquid desert looking for new lands to explore. Pause on the Dinghy. I think, maybe, a good rule of thumb for doing any planned project is to not accept kind offers of help. Sometimes, that can be difficult, as some just jump in without really extending the offer. Such was the case in our third session of building our new sail dinghy. The form had been completed, and it had been time to fiberglass the outer hull. Things did not go as planned. Out of the fifth type c...

Liquid Desert: March 2016
http://moonlightsue.blogspot.com/2016_03_01_archive.html
Just us and our cat heading out on the liquid desert looking for new lands to explore. Beginning the New Dinghy. Last weekend, we started building the new dinghy sailboat. Start of the Base Frame. Another view of the base frame. It's formal name. Is the Set Up Frame. Well, it goes all the way back to Middle School when I was babysitting for my brother and sister-in-law who worked the night shift at the hospital. I am a night person. One of many Cut Out Forms. Keith setting the Stem. Throughout this past ...

Liquid Desert: October 2015

Just us and our cat heading out on the liquid desert looking for new lands to explore. The Work Never Ends. I came across more photo's from the early days on the changes made to the Sue. As I was going through the pics, I couldn't help but think back to that time. Constant work, constant change. I remember thinking, "I can't wait for all this work to be done so things will get back to normal". It took a few years during these constant changes to realize that the work never. Stops when you own a boat.

Liquid Desert: June 2015

Just us and our cat heading out on the liquid desert looking for new lands to explore. The Battle of the Box. Having a cat on board really doesn't take too much extra care and attention. Face gets fed and watered every day, and with the weekly sweep and vacuum of the cat hair (especially when he sheds his winter coat), there's not too much left to do to make him happy. Once the litter box is clean and any spills swept up, the chore becomes a sport. I switch into my "goalie" mode to protect the box fr...

Liquid Desert: The Waiting won't be the Hardest Part
http://moonlightsue.blogspot.com/2015/11/the-waiting-wont-be-hardest-part.html
Just us and our cat heading out on the liquid desert looking for new lands to explore. The Waiting won't be the Hardest Part. So, here we sit - waiting. Keith can't take care of the cataract in his eyes until he gets Part B on his Medicare. He can apply for it in January, but it won't kick in until July. So, we have decided - with all this spare time until July- to build our own 1 off fiberglass "non-leaky" dinghy. I'm stoked. I've never built a boat before, but Keith has - a 14' footer.

Just us and our cat heading out on the liquid desert looking for new lands to explore. Moonlight Sue is a 1981 36 ft Cherubini Hunter Marine. Keith and Carol purchased her in Port Isabel, Texas and spent 5 years refitting and customizing her to reflect their personality and lifestyle. To date, she has sailed/motorsailed the entire Gulf Coast from Port Isabel, Texas to Marathon, Florida in the Florida Keys. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). There was an error in this gadget.
