Can you believe it? It’s already been one year since S/V Marionettes Revenge and crew left the marina dock in beautiful downtown Tarpon Springs!?! One year since we were wished a heart warming “bon voyage” by all our new Florida friends. One year of making new friends along the watery way. South to the warmContinue reading “365 Days Aboard Marionette’s Revenge”

nASSau
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”
Hiatus Ends
Well, its mid January (and I am catching up on posting!) and after a very exhausting whirlwind of travel, we are happy to be once again on Marionette’s Revenge and moving at the speed of smell. The silly season is over and after enduring tropical storm Nicole, playing pickleball in freezing mountainous temps, and aContinue reading “Hiatus Ends”
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”
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”
Buying Friends
After a few monotonous days in the ICW, we took advantage of a free dock in Chesapeake, Virginia. We had been somewhat traveling with not one, but two new boat mate friends. The first a nice couple heading back to Norfolk with their new to them Prestige 500. The second couple are on a 36′Continue reading “Buying Friends”
