Home for Christmas
MadCap Sailing &bull Dec 15, 2011
We're really glad we made the decision to leave Madcap at Harbortown Marina in Ft Pierce. She is safe and secure there and in good company - Nancy and Don on Maja (Bayfield 40) were on our dock when we left and we saw another Bayfield 36 in the yard. Ed and Karin (Passages) are also there, and Ed even drove us to the airport for our trip home. What a good guy! We're loving our time with family and friends at home in Halifax and fortunately, Jim is feeling almost back to normal now so he can enjoy it… Full Story »

SV THIRD DAY: Short Memory
SailBlogs &bull Dec 15, 2011
Cruising is as much about the weather as it is the Tacos and Destinations, so the fact that we are all freezing cold isn't right and its reminding us of why Baja isn't the place to be in the winter. Sure, you won't find snow on the ground or ice in the… Full Story »

The Adventure Continues...: The Forgotten Coast
SailBlogs &bull Dec 15, 2011
We left Pensacola on the 8th, going offshore overnight to avoid the bridges that would not accommodate our mast height. The weather was clear, the moon was full (a rarity for us!) and the temperature was 29 degrees! We have a full enclosure, a small propane heater and blankets but WE WERE COLD. This is Florida after all....where are the nice warm temps we had been promised? We arrived in Panama City in time for breakfast at a local diner. Then we took a nap and our friends Frank & Peggy… Full Story »

The Lady Lady: Good bye Florida
SailBlogs &bull Dec 15, 2011
Well the weather is finally sunny and warm. We are closing up the boat and heading north...home...for the winter ski season. We had lunch w/good friends who drove 1 1/2 hrs to visit w/us...Cathy and Conrad have a wealth of "cruising information" and have generously shared it w/us...as we plan "Leg #2" of our journey!! We are enjoying the holiday spirit of our boating neighbors (see photo)...and Jim even felt inspired to do the same! Althou we didn't take a pic, we now have a silver tree on the bow-pulpit, 200 red mini-lights dangling from our halyards and stays...and 4-pink… Full Story »

Anthem Adrift: Fitfully Facing Four
SailBlogs &bull Dec 14, 2011
Hit the ground running after arrival at Pier 21, slip A9. Have now whittled three month's boat work down to only four... Life would be beautiful if only the miserable weather would improve, all the projects were done, the boat were just 5 feet longer and the captain were younger, richer and better looking. Being delightfully adorable, however, does help. Speaking of toil, am writing this drivel at nearby Headquarters Cafe while finishing pain de perdue with double-shot cafe latte instead of replacing windlass solenoid and rebuilding KISS wind generator. Prefer to pay someone for such tedious pursuits, so am… Full Story »

Peter, Heloisa and Auke cruising with s/v Mundinho: Ready for moving again
SailBlogs &bull Dec 14, 2011
There is this perfect weather window the past couple of days with low winds from the North East, which would have brought us nicely down south in a week. We are not ready to depart however, so we are still waiting in Charleston. What is holding us up is the arrival of the BA charts from Cuba and a credit card and really some days for Auke to do homeschooling. Heloisa feels she is a little behind, mainly the boat yard period did not allow for good schoolwork, as there was always something breaking the school scheme. She is catching… Full Story »

SailBlog: It never rains ...
SailBlogs &bull Dec 14, 2011
We finally left Woburn a week last Saturday (only a day late this time) and made it all the way (30 miles) to Carriacou, with a slight 40 miles detour out towards to Tobago. Tony and Devon are on board and Jeff has come along for the ride. The first leg of the trip was fairly uneventful as the Christmas winds haven't kicked in yet and the weather has been relatively calm for the last month or so, and we caught a good sized tuna (the first one we've had for quite some time). Unfortunately I got a bit sea-sick… Full Story »
