Dinner Key

Well... The Coral Gables moorings field is sailboat only. Didn't matter that we are sailboaters in disguise. So... Two nights at the marina are only $180..... Go Packers!!!!!

Cruise to Cape Florida

Morning in Plantation Key...

Yesterday to cruised north to Cape Florida on Key Biscayne to meet up with the Grey Hound. It was a 54 KM run north of Plantation Key. We cruised up the "inside", passing through Jewfish Creek. 

Anchored off of Elliott's was (I'm sure) the only Grand Banks 48 ketch in the world. Dick and Anne told us they talked to the owner, who did the modification himself.



We left at 09:30 and arrived in No Name Harbor at 14:15. It was a nice run up.Today we head to Dinner Key. Grey Hound was the first boat we saw at No Name...

A run to Alligator Reef

No alligators. That's a good thing. We headed out behind Tonic (who went to an different reef )
and when we came back we ran into Kay Ann and Mike!!

Took about ten pictures of Portugese Man-O-Wars. This bad picture to the left was the best. We'll have to work on that!!



Boats, Bikes and Beaches


I had a super birthday a few days ago. A ride out to the reef, lunch off the beach and dinner with dockmates. We are keeping "busy". I can tell because I have only read 1/2 of a book since we got down here. On our one week trip to Kentucky Lake last fall I read three.


Been having issues with bike tires, three flats in a week!! Although the last one "healed itself" after the "Green Slime" worked its way to the leaking valve...

We hauled Buddy for a couple hours yesterday while I serviced the power tilt systems. The starboard engine was not responding to the tilt switches all the time... I figured it was a fluid issue, so I filled both engines with new fluid, purged the air, and they now seem to work as designed...

Brenda and Woody hauled out yesterday to move to Key West for the month. Something was growing on their bottom...
Oh yeh, I did get buzzed on my birthday. By this RC plane that is...
