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!!”

Barges, Bridges, Bad Weather and Bourbon

Marionette is no longer topless.
Hurricane Irma, the notoriously powerful and destructive category 5 storm that hit Sint Maarten and many other Leeward Islands in 2017, did a great deal of damage to Bobby’s, the boat yard that Marionette has called home for the past 4 years. Fortunately for Marionette (and us), the boat was not damaged, but the canvasContinue reading “Marionette is no longer topless.”
