Boat projects

Spent our first day on Red Rover yesterday. Mostly making a mess and a list. The past owners would have been gobsmacked at the state of their neat, orderly boat. There’s a plan here somewhere. 🤔

I noticed your fridge and freezer are a huge size. Great for giving you flexibility because it allows you to have fresh then frozen food to cook with and you can travel much longer without having to dock to go grocery shopping. Our fridge in the big trucks was one quarter the size and we had food for 3 days. We always had ice cream or popsicles as that’s awesome to have in very hot temps.
Do you have a dingy? Noticed an arm like thingy that might be used to put a lifeboat or dingy in the water. Do you have built in satellite? Do you have a spare engine that would get you to shore if your main engine broke down? I can tell that you have prepared for this and do have a plan. Go Rick and The!

  Yup…New Adventures await us…..Loved every minute!!!  We have listed her with the broker who sold her to us, Gerry Zidner.  You can see her listing on boat dealers.ca.  We are back onboard  after our trip north. We had a nice trip back to Canada 🇨🇦…Lori and Dan’s baby shower had a great turn out…fun visit with my sister Louise and cousin Joanne….cloudy eclipse and celebrated our 41st wedding anniversary. Fellow Loopers taking our picture as they go by the marina while we were away.  Back on the move…..we left Wacca Wache marina in SC on April 13th….waiting for high winds to calm.  4 long days on the move and 4 nights at anchor leave us well positioned to cross the Albemarle Sound and weather conditions are perfect. Our first time going through Coinjock, a stop at their dock and diner at their restaurant. House specialty is Prime Rib that Richard enjoyed and I had the Ribeye….it was very nice. Last stretch going into the outskirts of Norfolk, Virginia.  Crossing mile marker 1 on the

Bahamas, Green Turtle Cay

  We left Titusville Marina on January 6th….beautiful cruising day, lots of dolphins 🐬  We anchored out by Pelican Island for the night… Docked into Fort Pierce Marina for two nights waiting for high winds to pass before moving on.  A nerve racking 15 minutes of “seek immediate shelter tornado warnings in the area” alarms on our phones…scary, but it passed us without incident. Onto West Palm Beach…. Beautiful area, impressive homes….Stupid money 🤑.  We are anchored for the night and set for a 5am departure for our crossing to the Bahamas, West End on Grand Bahamas Island. We arrived by noon….no pictures of our crossing as I spent most of it drugged and below decks feeling green 🤢.  It wasn’t a bad crossing, just a little rolly.  Many boats pulled in after us that day as it was the only weather window permitting the crossing in a while. We spent 4 nights here, pinned down by high winds and rough seas.  It is a very nice area, so we make the best of it. Calm weather on Monday the 15th
