Indiantown to Stuart 2011
We arrived in Indiantown on October 26 after stopping to visit family in Michigan and then the Condens in Nokomis FL. We scheduled the boat to be moved from storage to the work area where for $20 a day we could live aboard while the boat is on the hard. We stayed for 3 days with Paul & Linda LeDoux from Seahawk in their new condo in Stuart. They sold Seahawk this past spring and moved ashore. We thank you both for all ...

To these ships, we are teeney, tiny, little specs and we didn't want to become a bow ornament. The ship responded "This is Monarch of the Seas, channel 10." Then he told me that CCA would be 2.5 miles off our stern. We weren't sure what CCA was - maybe Collision Course ...
Titusville to Eau Galie to Vero Beach
... The wind was eventually gusting up to 35 knots and some concentration was required to keep the boat in the channel. We passed some fishermen sitting in a skiff by one of the daymarkers with rods over the side and they did not look in the least bit concerned so Dave thought that the dry mouth feeling he was experiencing was perhaps symptomatic of unnecessary concern. The sky eventually darkened right over and we had a blinding rain-storm. We noted compass ...
