On the move - Jan 22nd to 25th

-

 


Rick and Sue decided to stay onboard for the trip to Sarasota. 

We were able to anchor just off Otter key, just south of St Armand Circle, stayed here 3 nights. 




Just a quick dinghy ride to the sea wall where we tied to a palm tree, scaled the wall (depending on tide, this was not a graceful dismount for me, but we made it work) 🤪 and we were steps from the beach and all the shops and restaurants. 




Jackie and Marc were able to drive down from Bradenton and join us for a lovely lunch and a stroll for a little shopping 🛍 



Back deck time with the Whissell’s.

Sue and Rick left us Tuesday morning the 24th, a dinghy ride back to shore where they left their vehicle.

Great week together; combination of marina days, and life at anchorage. Super spot as we could access Sarasota and Lido beach so easily. Big thanks to our hosts!❤️

  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
