Thanks for Visiting our Blog.

We hope all of you that have been keeping up with the blog have enjoyed reading some of our adventures and looking at the photos of the wonderful places we've been.  It was the best winter so far on Kasidah in warmer weather. It wasn't trouble free,..but it wasn't like work. The boat worked GREAT and we had a Blast!! Jon and I are now back at Fair Point Marina for the summer. Jon is working for the summer there (which helps the cruising kitty) and I am trying to just keep warm, I'll visit with our girls theyboth are having a busy summer, traveling, deployement to Afganistan, and moving maybe. There is dog sitting in my near future and I'll also try to add to the cruising kitty by selling things on E-bay from estate sales and yard sales, which Jon says I'm very good at. We'll try to keep a few updates through the summer as we write our plans for next winter.

Thanks for looking and following. 

Back in the States.

Last beach day of the season

Nothing like this beach

Our catch on the way home "Skipjack Tuna"

A visit with Great Aunt Virginia (She has forty years on me) I can only hope I look that good at her age.

We had a great time in the Bahama's but it was time to head back to the states and take care of a few things.
We really wanted to do some exploring in Florida and visiting of friends and family too.
Our crossing went well and we even managed to cast the line out a few times. Jon caught a Skipjack Tuna which was dark fleshed but ended up being delicious.

Yesterday we took a ride down to Boca Raton to visit with Jon's Great Aunt Virginia, she is such a wonderful person to talk with and the stories she tells of the Pacific Islands and all her worldly travel are amazing.

We will sit here for a bit before moving the boat to Indiantown where she will be stored till next season.

Bird Island trip and some history

We took a trip to Bird Island to look at the potential of owning some property but it was just a little more than we could afford.

This was a beautiful island but the place had been left for a few years and the houses have been ransacked,

 the peacocks have taken over and the hurricanes have left their number too..

We ended up there a little longer than we had

Buildings on south end of island

planned so low tide started to come in and before we could make our exit the sand was under us and the day there ended up into the late evening. It was a very exciting trip even though it was a long one.

Thanks to Jeff and Lana not only this trip but many other adventures and fun times will be remembered forever.   

A visit from Jeremy and Amy

A morning walk and a little golf

The means of travel for the week

Very windy day

 Wow, how fast the week has gone by with Jeremy and Amy.

We stayed busy all week with dinghy trips to the beaches, burgers at the beach bar we love so much, a few trips to Shark's creek, heading to the grocery store on the day the mail boat comes in then exploring every road on the island.


Having dinner with our friends Jeff and Lana at their house,

having snacks at Rick and Charlene's beautiful boat in the marina, hunting for Lobster or anything that swam in front of Jeremy that looked good to eat,

Jon helping Thyrone out with an electrical problem

Lobster Omelets for b-fast

Long walk at low tide

 We have had more fun this trip so far than any of our other trips to date.








We find many recipes to use and dine on our day time kills. Jon caught a large snapper that he fried up like we do perch in New York and it was some of the best.

 This is Hawksnet Cay, we walked over to it at low tide so Jon and Rick could do some hunting but after a large Black Tip made three passes very close to them they decided to make it a short trip.
We will do this trip with Amy and Jeremy next week.
Hopefully he will be somewhere else. 

snorkeling on the island

No lobster this time
