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?
Watch and see!

SDA256 Keys to the Deep
There’s a grand piano and a mermaid sitting on the bottom off Rudder Cut Cay, and getting down to see them is a little more work than it looks. We’re anchored at Rudder Cut Cay, where I dive the Musician, a grand piano with a mermaid at the bench commissioned by David Copperfield to entertain his g...
SDA255 Flying the Spinnaker
here’s something unsettling about seeing a standing wave across the cut you’re about to enter. I start out exploring the shallow southern shoreline of Stocking Island on my paddleboard, soaking up the clear water before we head offshore. Dave shows us how he rigs the spinnaker, and once it’s flyin...
SDA254 Unexpected Shark
Murky water is bad enough when you know there could be something nearby. Finding out later just how curious the local sharks can be doesn’t help. We’re at Sand Dollar Beach in Elizabeth Harbour, where murky water makes my anchor dive a little more uncomfortable than usual. We snorkel what was once...
SDA253 Chasing Coolant
We were running hot in Georgetown, and so were the Volvos. The only thing harder than cooling ourselves off was finding coolant for the engines. We’re anchored in Kidd’s Cove, searching Georgetown for strangely elusive coolant for our long-suffering Volvo Penta diesels. Back aboard Dark Angel, we ...
SDA252 Creepy Cassiopea
There are some things you expect to find while diving the anchor. A sea floor covered in pulsing jellyfish brains isn't one of them. We’re at Sand Dollar Beach, where I make a creepy discovery while diving the anchor in murkier than usual water. Upside-down jellyfish called Cassiopea are ancho...
