I have never been a big baker, way too much precision for this throw it together home chef. But for birthday’s, I decided to give it a shot. I consulted the googleContinue reading “Birthday Poke”

Chaaaalsten
Charleston, South Carolina. The Belle of the South. I’ve always loved Charleston. It’s like a classy version of Savannah. Which in a way, is a classy version of New Orleans. Which, in turn is a classy version of Paris. Ah shit, now we have to deal with the French… Charleston. I’ve had the good fortuneContinue reading “Chaaaalsten”
No Room at the Inn
Well, we three felt a little unwelcome this late July. We made a very long 125 mile overnight passage from Amelia Island Florida into downtown lovely Beaufort South Carolina. Not a bad run but the overnights are long. You never really sleep and this part of the coast is laden with big container ships alwaysContinue reading “No Room at the Inn”

“I’m going to Jackson”…Ville
You know how when you’re really proud of something, and I mean really proud you just can’t wait to tell someone. Like your spouse or, best friend, or kids, or parents? Like you’re just bursting at the seams to tell someone. You can’t stand to hold it in. And you know how when that sameContinue reading ““I’m going to Jackson”…Ville”

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.

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”
