Back On the Boat Again


Yeah! After three grueling days of preparing Sea Change to sail, we launched yesterday and moved onto the boat today. We managed to cook a yummy stir-fry with local huge shrimp, but then both of us crashed with no energy to do the dishes – where’s our dishwasher when we need it?

The destroyed rudder and solar panels have been replaced, the slightly damaged new dinghy has been scrubbed clean, and hurricane Irma has not got the best of us – we’re ready to give the Intracoastal Waterway another go! About 5 days of motoring should get us to Lake Worth, where we’ll wait for a weather window to cross the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas.

Meanwhile, we celebrate our 34th anniversary tomorrow, with lobster tails and champagne, and we’re planning to spend Christmas day exploring the Kennedy Space Centre here on Cape Canaveral. It’s starting to feel like a vacation J.


Here are a few pics of our launch and lovely Westland Marina …
