The wind is up and the sails are unfurled as we spend the day on one of the many bays in the Tampa area. The beaches have been a blast but with a promise of a day filled with a steady breeze , we keep the fun onboard. Thanks to all for watching!
What a difference a day makes! We head back to a favorite spot but this time are lucky to have a day filled with sunshine. With the board inflated we paddle around the beautiful mangroves and discover a small but private spot to enjoy the day. Thank you to...
San Francisco or Tampa? An afternoon fog bank rolls in and has us momentarily trading in the bikini for the coat. Once we set a course for our anchoring spot - this time a marina- we go toe to toe with a tour boat cap who insists we vacate the transient sl...
With 4' high waves on the way, we trade in our sails for tires. A road trip to Fort Desoto has us admiring it's 1000' long fishing pier and adjacent beach. Plus we visit Battery Bigelow, once responsible for defending the coast.
We couldn't resist one last visit to the beautiful Passage Key Island before leaving the Tampa area. Although the bikini stayed on ( most of the time ;) for this stop, we had a great time. The island is small but feels like lots of beauty to explore. We al...
Waking up on a deserted island with perfect weather and slow rolling waves - perfection! so we take advantage and spend a day filled with fun.

Part 2 of our Battery Burchsted visit on Egmont Key near Tampa. We could spend weeks at this place - beautiful and interesting. Part of the island is designated a bird sanctuary so you can't actually visit the beach but is still worth taking a look. Hope ...
We spend the day at Battery Burchsted, a place we kept calling the "ruins". Though there is nothing really "ancient" about them they evoked a feeling of Greece - rocks and rubble and water - we loved it. Hope you will enjoy the show and Thanks to all for...
Sailing the Tampa Bay area. Passage Key is not just a nude beach, it's a naked Island! It's a fun, free and busy place so we forgo the birthday suit and have some bikini fun until late in the day. A piece of paradise that just pops up in the middle of the ...
Sailing the Tampa Bay area.
Well like the title says, we make landfall at our first public nude beach, Passage Key, near Tampa Florida. A people free morning made for a fun private adventure but this is a popular place and that afternoon the island saw lo...

There is no arguing that we 3 kids went all in on this one! Much experience was gained. There were great times and hard times. Funny how things change when you act on your deepest feelings and just go for it. Here is an honest recap. Hopefully this sheds s...
Before hauling our sailboat out and putting it on the hard, we decided to try to do some scuba diving in the Gulf of Mexico, but ended up with food poisoning at sea.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
We rented some scuba gear and went out to find our lost anchor. We also painted the bulkheads in preparation for installing new headliner in our sailboat.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
As any sailor already knows, whatever can go wrong will go wrong. You have to be friends with Murphy, as he always shows up to any trip out on the water. Offer him some rum, and clean up any problems he may cause.
----------------------------------------...
We've been really busy with non-sailing related stuff, but Jordan found some time to do something he's always wanted to do - take the boat out for a solo sail.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
Our good friend comes out to take some moisture reading on our bulkheads, since we determined that the boat had flooded in the past. We also install a conduit, clean up some electrical, and do some testing with some foam-backed vinyl headliner from Sailrit...
It's not all sunshine and roses when you own a sailboat. This week we do some sanding, fail at trying to remove some adhesive, and that's about it!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
Can't believe we're already on episode 10! Although our mast is up, we're still rudderless, so I decided to do some club racing while Somnium is out of temporarily out of commission.
------------------------------------------------------------------------...
This is the final episode of the four part series of our standing rigging replacement.

This week we remove our chain plates and tour SECO South while picking up our new standing rigging.

We took a break from the standing rigging replacement this week. We started off removing our rudder, but ended up having to replace a busted thru-hull.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
This is part 2 of a series of episodes where we will be replacing Somnium’s standing rigging.

We finally properly name Somnium, just in time for the mast to come down. This is part 1 of a series of episodes where we will be replacing Somnium’s standing rigging.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------...
Somnium makes it through her second tropical storm in a Florida marina, and we go out to Pine Key (Beer Can Island) the next weekend.
