The Beginning

Finally getting this blog up and going.  A thousand apologies to everyone at first.  I need to get the hang of this thing.  I am typing this from the boat, Saint Petersburg.  Woke up to 61 degrees, had to turn on teh heater for the first time, and ready to sail south! 

I am trying to get the web site all up and running which has all of this connected to it, including links and pics, etc.  Be patient.  Here's a preview of what's to come:


The pic above was taken in the Dry Tortugas.  This is one of MANY Cuban refugee boats that made it to shore.  THat is an old Chevy block, incidentally.  These 'crafts' (a term I use loosely), are stuffed with people across what can be very rough seas.  Incredible...

We will get many more of these stories and pics up, including trips and places inbetween.  We have over a decade of this stuff to print, and as everyone knows, we are heading south again for all new pics and adventures.  See you then!
