We were seriously beginning to think this day may never come. Well…at least for this season. We’d even started toying around with the idea of heading down to the Florida Keys instead if there wasn’t a decent weather window for crossing to the Bahamas soon. Of course the Keys...
Beaches
Oh, There’s No Place Like Home For The Holidays!
This was to have been our first Christmas by ourselves, but we just couldn’t do it. We had been hard at work on boat projects in the work yard at Indiantown Marina for several weeks, and the plan was to launch Radio Waves on December 22nd and start our...
Black Point
Well….just went through my diary log book and it looks like Black Point was another of our favorite places, evidenced by the fact that we spent 13 nights there this past spring. I mean really, what’s not to love? There’s a huge anchorage with good protection from the trade...
Warderick Wells….Did Someone Say Boo Boo?
Wow…where to start! We spent a total of 11 nights on a mooring ball at Warderick Wells (over a period of two months), which is another part of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park. The entire park is a “no take” zone, meaning that nothing may be removed...
Up A Creek….Or Two or Three
After leaving our little iguana friends behind, our next stop was a short motor sail away to Shroud Cay in the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park, a beautiful island with several creeks running from the banks side clear though to the ocean. There were a few mooring balls...
Stranded Naked and the Three Little Piggies
That got your attention, huh? Well…read on! On our way to check in to the Bahamas on Green Turtle Cay, we spent a night at Manjack Cay. We were only there long enough to eat some dinner and catch some zzzz’s, but we knew we had to get back!...
We Started to Feel Like We Were Growing Roots!
Aaaahhh….finally got some real sleep! And, now that we were fully rested, finally got a chance to see just how clear the water below us was, and how beautiful our surroundings were. Being here felt like a dream and we had to keep pinching ourselves to realize it was...
Almost There!!!
We finally pulled ourselves away from the dolphin show in Eau Gallie, and made our way to Vero Beach – a pretty straightforward and uneventful trip. Didn’t even have any low bridges to deal with! Then, as we were pulling into the mooring field, I glanced behind us and...
How We Wasted Away a Month in Titusville
O.K., so truthfully most of it wasn’t wasted time…we just couldn’t believe we ended up staying docked at a marina there for an entire month! That was the longest Radio Waves had sat still since being on the hard over the winter back in Michigan! The folks at Titusville...
