SDA63 What's Wrong with our New Main Sail?
We cruise up the Florida coast with a stop at Marineland Marina for dinner with friends, and to close the loop on our starting point as cruisers. Then we grab a mooring ball in St Augustine to finally install our long awaited Precision Sails main sail. With superbroker Ian helping us we install the sail, and with Ian and Marissa’s help, we pack it back up. What went wrong?

SDA259 New Fear Unlocked
We had no idea a bull shark might actually bite a moving dinghy until one did it right beside the anchorage we were heading for. We stop at Staniel Cay to top up the fuel, where we spend about an hour waiting for a centre console to take on roughly 600 gallons. Then a big catamaran heads in ahead o...
SDA258 Blown Out of Another Anchorage
At sunrise in Black Point, the sun came up beneath a heavy shelf of cloud while storm cells rolled in through sheets of rain. We start at Big Farmers Cay with dinner at Ocean Cabin on neighbouring Farmers Cay before weighing anchor and heading north to Black Point Settlement ahead of another wind c...
SDA257 Shark Patrol
Every time we walk down this beach, the same blacktip reef shark is making another pass through the shallows.
