November 10, 2021 November 2, we motored off our mooring in Titusville, headed for Cape Canaveral. We had to transit two bascule bridges and a lock to head toward the coast and Cape Marina. This canal waterway was beautiful and despite our apprehension about the locks, all went well. Come on……we went through the Panama …
October 31, 2021 We left Daytona Beach the morning of October 31, with many miles to go before Titusville, our next mooring. We wound our way past Ponce Inlet, New Smyrna Beach and it’s beautiful homes, but a narrow channel to navigate! At one point we passed a tug pushing a barge. There was not …
October 30, 2021 We left St. Augustine as soon as it was possible to cross through the Bridge of Lions. Most of the busy bascule bridges don’t allow openings until after the morning rush hour traffic is complete. One of the things that we found the most intriguing about the Intracoastal Waterway is the ability …
October 28, 2021 Early in the morning of October 26, we left the security of the dock in Jacksonville bound for St. Augustine, Florida’s oldest city and also home to Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth! We passed by Mayport Naval Base just outside of Jacksonville. What a busy place! Huge ships and many, many …
October 26, 2021 We certainly enjoyed our time at Cumberland Island, but it was time to move on to Florida. We noticed that the land got flatter and marshier and the houses larger. There were also more bridges! We passed through several 65′ (reported) bridges that we needed to check tide boards before we went …
October 24, 2021 The next morning we left bright and early to eke our way down some more shallows toward Cumberland Island. We ventured part way out into St. Andrew’s Sound (Georgia) before turning inland again and following the winding waterway past small towns and beautiful scenery. Our anchorage was to be near Cumberland Island. …
October 22, 2021 The morning of October 22, with the help of some good friends from our dock, we cast off the dock lines to head south. The moment of truth…….will the transmission go into forward. Ken backed out of our slip. As we were drifting toward another row of boats and the shore, he …
October 21, 2021 The last two months have been a series of repair projects. First, there was the transmission issue. We called the only technician and he told us that it would be four months if we needed any kind of repair work! So they came and took a sample of fluid, had it tested, …

July 26 – Aug 16, 2021 OK, so part air, part land. On July 26, we left Slow Dancer behind in Brunswick Landing Marina and boarded a Delta Jet headed for San Francisco. Our goal: to move an 87 year old lady 1,000 miles. Dale’s Mom was not having any more of California and her …
July 12-19, 2021 Seventeen days in Brunswick exploring downtown, the historic district, celebrating Independence Day and enjoying southern hospitality and delicious southern cooking! Georgia shrimp and grits with hush puppies are better served (in our opinion) with locally crafted ales, but there was always “sweet tea” available. The majority of our exploration was done by …
