No not Oragami. TARO GAMI. Seriously…what? In 1977 Japan, Taro Gami published a cute and colorful childrens book called “Everybody Poops.” Yes its true. The writer, the publishing, and the bit about the poop. All are true. What could this possibly have to do with the misadventures of Marionette’s Revenge you ask. Is this blogContinue reading “Taro Gami”
Falcon 9 Launch
THIS is how to watch a rocket launch…. Falcon 9 is a resupply rocket heading to the international SpaceX station. We are approximately 5 miles away with a literal front row seat. Launch on 07/14/2022 at 8:45pm. If you are in the area by boat, Kennedy Pointe Yacht Club has the most amazing views.
Barges, Bridges, Bad Weather and Bourbon
The short passge between Bimini and Cape Canaveral was for the most part uneventful. Just how we like it. We were able to sail most of day one and with a westerly wind with just the genoa out and were able to make just over seven knots. Sweeeeeet! Sundown brought us a large squall thatContinue reading “Barges, Bridges, Bad Weather and Bourbon”
From Bimini to Space
Wow, leaving Bimini was hard. Harder than I had imagined. Yes, I suppose leaving any version of paradise is difficult in the head and heart. But this was most definitely different. It wasn’t the crystal clear green/blue water I’ll miss. It wasn’t the the delicious food and drink abound. Or even the endless blue skyContinue reading “From Bimini to Space”
Bimini Bahamas Part III

Its population without a cruise ship, around 1900 souls. Some of which have never left this little spit of land. You cannot be bornContinue reading “Bimini Bahamas Part III”

Our Time in Marathon
Here we are and guess who we got to meet up with again! Yep our favorite seagoing captain, Captain Karl!!! We met Karl a few weeks back in Venice while he was on a delivery. He had mentioned that he would be in the Marathon area about the same time as we would be, andContinue reading “Our Time in Marathon”
Captain My Captain
St. Maartin. A place that is very near and dear to our hearts due to finding Marionette’s Revenge. It’s a beautiful island split in two by both the Netherlaands and France. An island of approximately 45,000 people in just 16 square miles. Quite small, and yet the number of times we have already crossed pathsContinue reading “Captain My Captain”
