This is our new addition after 20 years it was time to retire our old faithful Roar. We did find a good home and parents for her.














If you like Catfish this is the place for you.














Marilyns most used utensil. The Pressure Cooker, shown here with a chicken. If you don't know how to use one you don't know the true taste of food.













When we are at the entrance to a large port forget the rules. I say the larger boat or tug has the right of way.













This is a painting on a building we noticed in Palakta












Marilyn found turkey for 60 cents a pound so had to buy enough to feed an army. Unfortunately we did have a roaster on board big enough to cook it thus I am disecting it to fit the pressure cooker. We had it for each meal for a week. Thank heavens Christmas is a month away.


Things have been going so well this year we are afraid to mention anything. We are beginning to meet boaters who we have seen before and are meeting people who are doing this trip for the first time, to them we are pro's. It is great to be able to help people who find their new adventure a little intimidating. Our plan is to keep going south until we reach Marathon (one of the southern most Keys). It will take us until Christmas to get there. As long as the weather stays as beautiful as it has been and we have a breeze to carry us along all will turn out good. Hope you enjoy the pictures.
