Check out Cruising Compass....cool news and notes for cruisers
We started Cruising Compass as a lark a couple of years ago and it has grown into a really cool gathering of cruisers who are interested in news and notes from around the world. There are 26,000 sailors now reading CC. Mostly they come from North America but many of them are living on their boats and cruising actively about the world. So, if you want to stay in the cruising loop, have some fun and find out what cruisers are up to log on to… Continue

Back at sea again!!!!
Finally, after many months in Florida getting Blue Heaven ready for extended cruising, we made our way down the ICW to Port Everglades and then went outside to Miami. Came in through Government Cut to Miami (what a trip) then down Biscayne Bay to Rickenbacker Marina. Spent a night there and then on to No Name Harbor on the south end of Key Biscayne. The next morning we looked for someone to go to Bimini with but everyone had left that morning or the day before. Even though it was late in the… Continue

Exploring the blog feature
I am just seeing how the lay out works for this blog, I am looking for the best web site to post pictures and info and tracking our position as we go. I have 2 blogs that I currently view of friends of mine. I would be nice to have a little of each one made into one if it could happen here. I am looking for help and input.

Sailing this past weekend after scraping ice off my windshield Friday morning!
It is 80 degrees today in Mickey Mouse Land today! YAY!!!
Last Friday morning I scraped ice off my windshield before I went to work. What a pain! I do not understand how anyone lives in a place where that would be normal. :) I live here BECAUSE I hate cold weather. And it has been darn cold the past 2 weeks, even here in THE BEST SAILING STATE IN THE US.
When I scraped ice off my window this past week I was reminded of when I was in college in north Texas. It DID snow… Continue

In a boat's own words: Destination George Town
We finally reached Elizabeth Harbor. That’s the anchorage in George Town, the main town (400 residents) in the Exumas island chain, where dozens of cruisers congregate in the winter months. With its own daily radio net and a calendar of activities that could rival that of a summer camp, George Town is its own world, especially when compared to the more remote islands farther North. Here… Continue

About that fella "IKE" .......
Well folks ...I know it's been quite awhile since I decided to post anything, much less some new pictures (plenty to see below). To tell you the truth ...I kinda lost my spirit for posting much of anything online. You see, we've been getting hit pretty hard pretty often over the past 5 years. I now know what it must have felt like for the folks living over in Florida back a few years when there seemed to be no end to mother nature's fury on… Continue

The Dream
AllAboutMe (A Columbia Yacht)
As with so much in life, many of the experiences that I had hoped for in my twenties and thirties, had to be put aside, in order to raise a family, and earn a living.
The dreams just didn't fit in the space that was left. Then, in my middle forties, health issues seemed to bring any hope for early retirement to a screeching halt. So that now ,the dreams that had been put aside for later, had to be put back on the shelf,most likely to be… Continue

Just returned from Mexico and the Baja Haha
What a great time! We placed 2nd in the Kilo division on my buddy's Harding Force 50 "Luna Sea". The only one to beat us was Patsy on Talion, a *beautiful* Gulfstar 50 Sloop also from Portland, now based in La Paz. Will post more later.

What brought me to want to sail solo?
This question was posed by a new e-friend. It seemed generic enough to post on the blog. Being new to Sea Knots I thought I could set up my own personal blog. If I can would someone be kind enough to explain how to do so. In the meantime, I clicked Blogs on the toolbar and it led me to this site. Anyway, here is the answer to the question, 'what brought me to want to sail solo?'
Answer: Reading Robin Graham's book, the Dove.
I often sail and race with others; on my boat or… Continue

BVI TRIP A GREAT SUCCESS!
Ahoy Friends,
Well, we completed our BVI trip a couple of weeks ago......What a blast!! The eight of us went out for a week on a 45' cat, the Dodger II and it was tremendous. The British West Indies is wonderful. Great sunsets, very nice people and super conditions. (A little pricey at the restaurants - but we only ate off the boat 1 lunch and 2 dinners)
Everyday was warm (82-85degrees), the water crystal clear and the wind was 10 to 18 knots. I sailed into a different cove every… Continue

escape route
With the tide too low to make the raft up this weekend I decided to work on dredging out my canal. I had spent time after the storm probing the canal with my kayak paddle to be sure nothing solid was there. I carefully worked my way back and forth untill I had cut my way to the main channel and could back into my slip so I think If I keep it clear I should be able to get out now unless its an extream low… Continue

Yahoo Boat Clubs more Specific
Hi, All. Just joined Sea Knots because it seems to be nautically oriented without everyone trying to "fix " things all the time. I've got an '05 Mainshiip 34 T with a 370 single Yanmar and forward bow thrusters. Has been from Orange Beach up the Tenn-Tom, settled in Guntersville, AL and 4 months after I brought it back to New Orleans. Previous owner put 100 hours on the engine, put 120 on the 8 KW generator, added Raytheon instruments upper and added lower helm, instruments . Like brand new… Continue

In a boat's own words: Sunny Florida! What sunny Florida?
Well, here we are. Finally anchored in Florida waiting for a solar panel. You'd think that "sunny Florida" would be close enough to paradise, where the air is warm and the breeze is gentle. Well... not really. We have 20 knots gusting from the North and evening temperatures in the 30s.
I know, I was the one that wanted to go South to escape the cold. And now, Andrea and Franc blame it on me because it's MY solar panel that's holding… Continue

SEAKNOTS FOUNDERS GO CRUISING FOR A CAUSE
Andrea and Franc, founders of SeaKnots, are finally full-time cruisers. They both put their day jobs on hold and decided to spend a year on the water for charity.
Their plan is to take S/V Can Drac across the second largest body of water in the world to raise awareness of the current water crisis on our planet. Sailing from New York to Barcelona will take them across more than 6,000 miles of the most remote waters in the Atlantic… Continue
