The time has come and it’s finally time to say sayonara and arrivederci to Cape Canaveral and Titusville. Our visit here has been bittersweet. And it certainly had its ups and downs. Ups meaning the cool rockets and downs by well…manatee shite. During our stay, however, we got a boatload done on Marionettes Revenge. BesidesContinue reading “Up, Up and Away!!”

To Be Bored or Not To Be
Titusville. Dullsville. Zzzzzzzzzzzz No offence Titonians. Titusvillians?! Spacecoasters?!?! We have been in sight of the Kennedy Space Center now for 2 years. Or maybe its been 5 weeks that just FEELS like its been 2 years. Yes there are loud rockets which are very cool every single time. But they don’t go off on theContinue reading “To Be Bored or Not To Be”
Taro Gami
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”
Our Time in Marathon

Sarasota On My Mind
Sarasota has never made my radar. Not once. Sarasota. Where?! What an amazing stay we had. So good that an overnighter turned into 3 kinda magical nights. The marina and mooring field are situated in a bit of a horseshoe, so from the field our view was the twinkly downtown. So many of the highContinue reading “Sarasota On My Mind”
Birthday Blog and Dennis Rodman
News flash, it’s windy! I checked the weather rope and yep, it’s windy. Today, April 7th, my 55th trip and around the sun finds the 3 of us in sunny Gulfport Florida. A lovely little town just west of St. Pete. We’ve been on mooring ball for 4 days due to the weather and chancesContinue reading “Birthday Blog and Dennis Rodman “
