Got the Magma grill fired up. Those are shrimp basted in butter with key lime juice. And key lime pie for dessert. And yes, I shared with you know who. Capt. Fritter
I think it’s about time to put this thread to rest. I’ve been at it now for over two weeks and I could keep on going another two. Hell, I could write a book about living aboard….hmmmm….Where was I? Oh yeah, finishing things up. Well, as you can see, living on a boat is not [...]
No, we ain’t talkin’ lipstick and hair gel here. This post is all about things you’ll need to do to keep your vessel looking halfway decent in civilized company. Things like paint and polish. Live aboard vessels sit in water, it’s that wet stuff under neath. Some in fresh water, many in salt water. In [...]
Now where were we before being interrupted by an overblown rain storm…Oh yeah, living on a boat. Or more specifically, living on a sailboat. It stands to reason that a sailboat would have sails. Otherwise that whole mast/boom/halyards thing would be kinda of a waste. If you do have a sailboat, you are going to [...]
Went out yesterday afternoon and had a big plate of sketti and meatballs. First cooked meal I’ve had in a nearly a week. Got a good nights sleep, no wind gusts, no snapping lines, no rocking. Now it’s time to get back to work. From what I’ve been able to gather, the Keys got the [...]
First official video of the destruction in Key West by Isaac…Not for the weak of heart.. Capt. Fritter
I sorta hate to abandon the Isaac thread here but it’s over with in my little corner of the universe. However, for those up in the Panhandle and over to Louisiana that are in the path, they may still be looking for news beyond the hype and media coverage. So if there are any readers [...]
As of now Isaac is well out into the Gulf of Mexico and heading for the New Orleans area…which I am sure makes everyone happy up there. Around here it’s sunny but still very windy. High tide was a couple of hours ago and the water came to within a foot of the top of [...]
Rather than add new posts today I will be updating this one as the day wears on… 5:00am: Woke up a little before 5:00 am to the boat bouncing back and forth pretty good. Every once in a while I would hear a loud bump. I thought it might be the hull bouncing off the [...]
Maybe somebodies car, but no presents. Isaac is now skirting the northeast coast of Cuba and about to cross the Florida Straits. Being over warm water now, it will begin to strengthen into hurricane status. It’s moving at 20 mph which is good, and it may also take a sharper turn to the west, which [...]
