Betcha you never saw that in the name. Nassau was a lot like eastern Florida. Loud fat tourists, loud fast boats, loud hawaiian shirts, and too much loud traffic. No thanks. No desire to go to Nassau whatsoever. Especially after the very quiet week we had in the Berry Islands. So why were there? FORContinue reading “nASSau”

Pinky the Pirate
Pinky says “Bimini is great fun, but it’s high time to continue the adventures aboard Marionettes Revenge.” Where are you off to this time?” you may ask. East. 80 miles nearly due east to a part of the Bahamas known as The Berry’s. Home to Halle Berry, Chuck Berry, Barry Manilow, Barry Gibb, and theContinue reading “Pinky the Pirate”
Embracing the Suck
It’s a beautiful, sunny Saturday morning – 65 degrees, light breeze. Enjoyed sleeping in after a long week. Leisurely make our way to the galley to make coffee while the husband goes to take Django out. SPLASH! Pup overboard – quickly hop onto a friends swim platform a few slips down and pull the wet,Continue reading “Embracing the Suck”
Pay Your Bill and be a Karen
Admittedly I don’t like Bills. Let’s be honest…who does? And NOBODY like a Karen. And then there’s these two. We met this awesome couple about a decade ago back while I was learning the lines and beer can racing on Lake Lanier. We were all crew together for a season, then turned competitors. They alsoContinue reading “Pay Your Bill and be a Karen”
Django for President
Bark woof yelp, woof woof, woof bark bark woof….oops…. Likely easier to hear the story from me rather than Django himself. I’m paraphrasing so work with me… “My Cam” had to spend a few days away from me recently. He must have been curing cancer or fighting the Ruskies in the Ukraine ’cause otherwise heContinue reading “Django for President”
Ahhhh-napolis- Part 1
Since early this year, our goal has been to return a decade later to the Annapolis sailboat show. The difference of course from 2012 was that this time we would not be traveling via a streak of lighting fancy car, but rather our own beautiful boat. And that we did. HELL YES! (And not inContinue reading “Ahhhh-napolis- Part 1”
OX
That’s what the sticker says. You know, the white oval ones with the black trim and black letters? The ones strategically place on your rear car windows. Oxford, Maryland that is. Steeped in deep history and sorta right out of a historical fairytale. We recently traveled northward up the Chesapeake Bay approximately 35 miles fromContinue reading “OX”
Tangier
I’ve traveled. I’ve been a few places and I’ve seen a few things. Whether it be Europe, Mexico, Canada, the Bahamas or elsewhere, I’ve seen, you know, stuff. But I’ve never seen anything like Tangier, Virginia. Maybe something similar in Europe but never here in these United States. This amazing tiny island holds about 450Continue reading “Tangier”
Port Charles in Charge
We made it…so far. When we pulled out of Tarpon Springs our focus was safety, seafood, sailing, and apparently other things that start with an “S”. The end goal on this trip for 2022 was to revist the Annapolis sailboat show we first experienced already a decade ago. It’s nearly now the end of AugustContinue reading “Port Charles in Charge”
