Hmm! Not What I Expected
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you already know I have been selling our home wares on eBay and Craigslist in preparation for our move aboard Cream Puff. As I get money in my PayPal account, I purchase something on the wish list for Cream Puff. So far ~ knock on […]
What Are The Odds?
Follow my blog with Bloglovin Bogart’s famous line from Casablanca: “Of all the gin joints in all the towns in all the world, she walks into mine” Of all the stores in all the towns and all the cards on all the shelves in all the world, what are the odds Cindy and I would pick […]
SSB Radio
Have I told you lately how much I hate my SSB radio? This continues to be the project from hell. I have just spent the last 6 days installing the final components during which my body was upside-down, pretzelized, compacted, stretched and turned inside out.

Squeaks

A Little Bird
This is really amazing. So here we are about 18-20 miles offshore. We are making our way into Tampa Bay. The winds are easterly, blowing away from the land. It is almost dark. All of a sudden a little bird crashes into our boat. We normally see gulls and the occasional hawk this far our […]
Fixin’ Stuff
One of the many joys of boat ownership is “fixin’ stuff”. In my opinion there are two types of boaters in this world, those that fix their own boats and those who pay people to fix their boats. Of course, the implied constant here is boats will always need fixing. And, guess what, they do. […]
