On the hill in Tarpon Springs, Florida to replace drive shaft.  Hotel for us tonight.

Wind comes and goes.  Motoring along and of course sails are up in case of a gust of wind.

Just missed a storm as we headed out of pass from Panama City, Florida.

They tell us it's all fixed! We'll be testing that today and tonight.

Generator back on boat with parts on top.  Ready for mechanic to finish putting it together.  This is the little trouble maker!

Got rid of the useless grass for the cats and now growing some herbs and radishes.  Guess I just love to garden to much!

We grew grass for the cats.  Mister won't touch it!  Kneedy always loved it.  Best we have ever grown!  Either need to trim it or get rid of it! Hahahaha

Normally you can see for miles.  Pretty big storm!

Storm came up quickly.  We were having a nice time with grillin' pizza but turned out to be wet!  This is determination to have pizza!

 

Cat has good sense to get outa the rain!!

Looks like it turned out ok!

Squirrel on the dock looking for a snack.  How funny!

This is what it's all about!  Yes!  grilling and relaxing!

New long awaited for propane outboard -goin' green!

We are still in Panama City on Watson Cove Bayou docked at a private dock.  So we are safe and secure.  Waiting on a couple of deliveries and hopefully good winds to get us going again early next week.

Putting hand rails on dinghy, wishing for a motor to be delivered.  Lost one of my oars :)  not Larry's.  He can still oar.

Oh yes, laundry goes on wherever you are.

Setting up computer to check emails and do some work.

New program inside the boat so we can watch for storms.

Our motorized bikes are nice.  You can pedal if you want or just enjoy the bike doing all the work.  Still miss my car for long trips though.

Coffee is a VERY IMPORTANT part of the morning.

Larry relaxing in our recliners!

This was storage of drinks, water, cokes, and gatorade for hot days but....As you can see 

Mister demanded the spot as his!

Rowing back to the boat after a visit to shore for supplies and to order a motor for the dinghy!

Second night anchorage in Panama City area.  Nice calm quiet cove.  

There are dolphins all around us but I couldn't get them to stay still!

Wind Scoops

Living without A/C to conserve power.  Harnessing the wind in a wind scoop.

First day out

First day out and not a breathe of wind.  But great motoring to Destin FL!

 The new cover over the cockpit is wonderful!  Full sun and no wind, it is a HOT day!

As you can see, not enough wind for a sail to go up.

Finally, We are off!
