We finally found a cord that allows us to download pictures from our digital camera. So without further delay, here are a few selections from our adventures thus far. Just a little of the Irma devastation in Boot Key.

First – Happy New year to you all! To quickly catch up: On December 8, we stayed at Elliot Key for a day or two, followed by a few days at Oleta Bay. At Oleta, we were visited by Mr. Dan White – a wandering poet hailing from Robinhood Road in Georgetown, Maine! Around the 19th we flew to New England to catch up with family while Blue Bonnet was back at her original dock in Fort Lauderdale. After some quick visits and a hearty celebration at the new Mathewson home in Coventry, Connecticut, we were scheduled to fly back to Florida on the 25th. Weather delayed our departure until the 26th. On the 27th we were back on Blue Bonnet to spend the New Year holiday at anchor near Miami, where we saw several fireworks displays set against the backdrop of the city skyline. Welcome, 2018! On Jan 3rd, we pulled Blue Bonnet into the dock at Playboy Marina in Dania Beach where Bob worked on a repair to a soft piece of deck that needed reinforcement. She also got new bottom paint (complete with new red fishes!), new non-skid, and a wax job along with some routine maintenance. On Monday, January 15th, Blue Bonnet was looking good and ready to sail. Before launch, we were favored with our first sailing visitor! Robin Moore, a very good friend from Georgetown, flew down on January 9th to join us for a while. Robin’s knowledge of the sea and general fishing skills will hopefully bolster our own so that we can enjoy some great fishing in the Bahamas. Robin Doak is excited because Robin M. has volunteered to write some guest blogs along the way. Stay tuned, more fun to come! |
AuthorRobin and Bob recently quit their jobs, sold all their belongings, and headed south to begin a new life on the sea. Check back here to find out how life adrift is going. Archives
