Hot. Damn, it is so hot. Before and after. The boat got some new bling and we got some rum and cokes! We are a mess, but, one more thing off the list!

Always better to find a small crack at the dock than have it fail underway. This impeller is only 8 months old!! Just a reminder to check your gear. They don't make 'em like they used to. Also might be an indication we are motoring too much! Damn that ICW! 🤣

This is Luna. Luna is unimpressed by #internationaldogday, but she gets her photo taken anyway. Don't get excited, we're just pet sitting for a month.

This is soooooo much better. Just me on watch, motorsailing. Going to attempt our first overnight since the Georgetown Goof-up last year. But, this time we've got our trusty autopilot to keep us from beating ourselves up hand-steering. We also have favorable wind and current for the time being. Making nearly 8 knots on 6.4 knots of wind.

Yes, I wish we were sailing, but it beats the heck out of a cubicle!

This...again? Another haul out to replace a seacock we should have replaced last December. Y'ALL. 😡

I blame @goodoldboat magazine. 🤪 Our old, leather wheel cover was starting to shred just as their article on French whipping the wheel came out. What have I gotten myself into!?

#historyofthesea The reason sailors got the reputation for being such hard drinking crazy dudes is 1) after months on the boat off-shore, sailors lose their equilibrium upon arriving ashore and stagger with "stillness illness". This temporary adjustment stage makes the sailor "brace" for the movement of the boat, creating a faux-drunken stagger even when totally sober. 2) Power boaters on the ICW in Florida. Ergo, alcohol in abundance and reputation well earned. #cheers

PS: It rrreeeeaaaalllyyy makes me appreciate the class and professionalism of the boaters in #Annapolis. Well done, you.

Took all day for the wind to swing east so we could sail. Bashing to windward all day is no fun, but this is the bombdiggity! At least we got a couple of good sailing hours in and can end the day on a good note!

Got to watch the #falcon9 #launch this morning. It brings a tear to my eye to hear "nominal velocity". Congratulations to #spacex and #nasa! Safe journey, travelers!

@mariner99 snagged this great photo of Star Stuff on the ICW today. Ships passing in the...day? We're just waiting on Elon to get his bucket in the air so we can continue south. It's an early wake up call for us tomorrow!

Got my #vaccine. I walked 15 minutes in the rain, uphill, both ways to get it. International travel, here I come!

It's true! Star Stuff floats again! I thought this day would never come!

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, I ain't falling for it!

So, the rumor is we splash first thing in the morning. You see my excited face?

Well, they are acting like they're serious about splashing today. I won't believe it until our keel hits the water!
