The Berry Islands
12/8/2019 After two nights at Brown’s Marina in Bimini, we decided to leave the dock and head towards more isolated islands. The plan was to travel about 9 miles South towards Gun Cay and anchor there as the next morning we were going to make the 80 mile crossing across the Great Bahama Bank to… Continue reading The Berry Islands

11/19/19 Well, we are definitely starting to get into the groove of cruising.

My… Continue reading Lemon Bay to the Everglades

Two Weeks To Go Time
I just re-read my last blog post, and can't believe that 2 months have gone by! So much has happened and been accomplished during that time. We left the Municipal Marina in downtown St. Petersburg at the end of August and had an absolutely wonderful sail from St. Petersburg down to Palmetto. It was our… Continue reading Two Weeks To Go Time
We Did It.
Well, I haven't had the time to update this for a bit. We have been working incredibly hard to finish the refit, and I am so happy to say that as I write this, I am sitting on the port side of Sirocco, enjoying a cup of coffee while surrounded by what feels like a… Continue reading We Did It.

The Plan
Kyle and I like to make plans/dreams and be pretty specific with them. We feel it is a great form of manifesting and has always worked for us in the past. That being said, we make these plans with intentions to follow them, but also to be open to any changes/opportunities we feel suited for… Continue reading The Plan
