Have you looked into a dust mite allergy at all?

Do you have a mattress cover that you wash and replace your pillows often?

My boss calls Ford: Found on roadside dead

I just watched it, solely from your comment.

I really enjoyed that movie! Thank you.

Amazon has an organic mint based rodent deterrent that just smells like thin mints. Got rid of a squirrel from my attic not too long ago.

Well that escalated quickly.

Technically you don’t find out that the demon king at the beginning and ganondorf are one in the same until some time later… but it’s not really a surprise if you’ve played any other games in the series.

I would recommend looking into Turkish coffee methods.

 

The bioluminescence of the water caused my AC discharge water to glow at my slip last night.

That’s a first for me.

Could also watch the glowing outline of fish swimming!

You can help!

Original content is what makes more participants come aboard!

 

It was a great day to be in the marina.

Looks like it’s a beautiful day there!

 

There was so much energy in the storm after it passed last night.

My best advice would be to get adept at the maintenance side of things. Sailboats live in harsh environments and will almost always have something breaking on you. Learn basic electrical systems, engine maintenance and line/sail maintenance.

You can do all of this before having a boat just watching YouTube and working on electrical in your house, your car/transport engine and buying some cheap off cuts of canvas and rope.

The better you are at fixing things, the better off you’ll be at living in your off grid paradise.

Did you intend to upload a photo?

It was eerie how calm the water was while facing that front.

If you look closely you can see a water spout forming.

 

We are choosing between a RU (Roll-Up) and RIB (Rigid Inflatable Boat) style dinghy.

We predominantly coastal cruise with our dog and two adults only.

Our SV is a 37.5 Hunter Legend, that has a good davit system and an outboard motor mount.

I would prefer an RU so that my transom can remain open and available, but know that a RIB is more sturdy, roomy and better for any rough conditions.

Any thoughts or advice?

 

Got to see a rocket launch from Cape Canaveral from our marina the other day.

 

We are planning a trip down to the keys from north Florida. Route is planned to stay inside until Fort Lauderdale and then outside to 7 mile bridge, where we will likely turn and drop anchor in the back country.

We are aiming to do this starting this week to mid July, basically before hurricane season really takes off, but will of course keep a close eye on the weather and reports.

Any advice, things to see, best routes or marinas to avoid?

Buried the rail shortly after this photo. Made it through just fine!

 

We love her very much

 

It was so big, the cargo barrier is immense.

 

In the exodus, if others are like me, I thought a sailing community would be great!
