Leaving paradise and heading north for winter. It seems a little backwards. We've been in the Florida Keys for quite some time and needed a change. Before leaving we checked out systems, safety gear, and more.
Smooth sailing north and decided to stop at Ft. Lauderdale for some additional fuel and us. Gotta love those bascule bridges. We hate going under 65’ fixed bridges since we have a 63’ air draft. Leaving Ft. Lauderdale we had great cruising and then hit some weather. We decided to duck in and found a very nice anchorage. The bottom has great holding and we are well hooked with our 121 pound Rocna anchor. Our Lofrans Falkon windlass is definitely up to the task maneuvering that size of an anchor. We have 200 feet of 1/2 inch chain and the Rocna handles the currents and occasional swells without a problem. Our plants are enjoying sun time in the cock pit.
Once anchored we charged our batteries with 1000 watts of solar and 400 watts of wind generator. We also have a Northern Lights 5 kw generator for backup.
Thanks for viewing.

See in the Dark Ep235
Out on the water after dark, what you can’t see ahead of the bow can be the biggest danger. This week, we set out to give Isabella eyes in the night—and the result was remarkable. After mounting our new bow camera in the last video, we connected it to the Garmin 8610 chartplotter. That meant Karen c...
She’s a Gypsy Woman Ep234
We've got gypsy magic! Previously we shared the skipping of our anchor chain as the Lofrans Falkon windlass deployed/pulled up the anchor. We drove to Charleston, South Carolina and picked up the new 376E gypsy that matches our 1/2" G4 anchor chain. It was a little wider than the old gypsy...
He Likes It Slippery Ep233
We are jumping for joy this week! Making progress on voyage preparations (Georgia to Texas) and having success with some of last week’s failures.

Hard & Wet Ep232
Gremlins on board???? We’re starting to think so as two main DIY projects have yet to be completed. This week has been a bit trying to say the least. The gypsy on the Lofrans windlass has always skipped a little when bringing up the anchor. Over time it has gotten much worse. We think it is a misma...
