Well, we are still in The Villages

Well, we are still in The Villages.. Oops, I mean Boot Key Harbor. Which is essentially The Villages for Sailors (for those who don’t know the villages is a massive retirement community here in Florida, look it up, its… odd)

The boat is almost ready to go, I say almost because in the last week, the fuel pump developed a leak, the new one should be arriving today… Then we should be good to go.

Pet permits are approved, and cruising permits are submitted and paid we just need a proper weather window. Which, hasn’t happened yet. It is looking like Thursday may be a good day to jump up to Key Largo, then Friday cross to Bimini.

Saturday is my live via satellite talk with CYC and guests, don’t forget to sign up and mark your calendar!

Today’s photo update is the cartoon that started this adventure. I first saw it 4-5 years ago, and it really got me thinking about life on the water. The last year in Chicago it was taped to my fridge, a daily reminder to work toward the goal of sailing away.

I will say, while Marathon is great, it is slowly sucking the life out of me. I need to get to a remote Island, with clean clear blue water STAT. The keys are nice, but I’m more than ready to weigh anchor and get the hell out of dodge.

See you all on Saturday!
