Bright Eyes: Lucky Paint
SailBlogs &bull 4 Hours Ago
So when out to get lunch the other day, I find another marine store All Tackle. It's mostly fishing but on the door there was a flyer for Petit Bottom Paint Seminar coming up at the store. How convenient since we plan on bottom painting in April yet have no clue about it other than its expensive. So we did a bunch of research and picked the brains of some West Marine ppl and forums and when the seminar day came we atleast could understand what he was talking about. Before we walked in, Christine said "ok now we are… Full Story »

S/Y Sanctuary (41' Soverel Cutter): Flora and Fawna
SailBlogs &bull Yesterday
Its hard to believe that anything can grow on these rocky islands but all around you can see "Pot Hole Farming." Somehow the Bahamians drill or blast large holes in the rock where they find fertile ground. It is there that they grow Bananas, Pineapples, Green and Red Peppers and Plaintains. The flowers somehow look beyond beautiful here, perhaps it's because there is so much rock and gravel that when you see them in bloom they are that much more magnificent. After a day at rest in Simms we got underway pre-dawn today and motor-sailed around Cape Santa Maria on… Full Story »
