Maden Voyage!


CHARIS IN PENSACOLA. We spent last night in one of the nicest marinas in Northwest FL. A fitting debut for for such a high class lady. Five hours each way and all systems never missed a beat except the Capitan narrowly missed a humpy little sand bar when the Adrimal pointed it out at the last minute. Please see picasaweb.google.com/lropka
for a few pictures of the neighborhood and especially the gormet breakfast served by the Adrimal.

Mini Cruise


A beautiful sunny day and it all came together as we ventured all of the way to Destin for fuel and beyond. Joan almost fell overboard taking pictures of the dolphins frolicking around the bow. A bunch of big ones! Then 200 gal of diesel (OUCH) at the Harbor Marina fuel dock followed by lunch around the corner on the bay. We ran about 4 hours and all systems worked as planned.
