Still without props and in Vero Beach. Though we had some hope of getting our propellers back on today, it was not to be. So we decided to visit the local museum which turned out to be pretty nice. Though the exhibits were limited they were all well done and not to be missed. The […]

This was a day to travel about and take care of some errands. We left the boat around 1000 and caught the Go-line bus right at the marina. The bus service here is quite interesting and our own county could take a lesson from these folks. They have bunch of little short buses so they

    Yes, I took it out for everyone to see! No, I have not suddenly gone over the edge. After all the work repairing the motor, Jan and I finally got to use the dinghy for the first time on this trip. And it was well worth the work. More on this later. Dr.

    An educational moment for all of us except the Commander who probably invented the word to begin with. While we were in Stuart a heavenly phenomena occurred called a SYZYGY. Apparently that is when 3 celestial bodies line up in the sky and are visible to the naked eye. In our case they

It has been a slow but somewhat productive day. The Admiral is apparently fully recovered and issuing instructions again. This included a trip to the laundromat. There is something about a laundromat that evokes memories of days gone by when most homes did not have washers and certainly not dryers. One either did the laundry

Chilling in Lantana There is not much new to report as we are waiting for our propeller to return to it’s normal position under the boat.                 Wayne and Francine with Skipper, the Portuguese Waterdog, aboard “My Way” departed for the Bahamas. We wish them a safe journey

                    First thing this morning we met our new diver friend Scott Cummings who arrived promptly to remove our port propeller. He worked very efficiently and I assisted from the swim platform while Jan was in charge of documenting with photographs. The good news is that
