  • Mar 9: Islamorada

    This is one of my favorite spots on the Florida Keys.

  • March 1: Key West

    Spent 10 days in Key West. Stayed in the mooring field, because dockage in the harbor is like $6.25/ft. The mooring field is pretty crappy.  It’s not overly protected, and it’s 1.5 miles from the dinghy dock. It was a bit breezy the whole time we were there, so coming back at night was a…

  • Feb 28: Picnic time

    I was trying to put too much into a single video, so I split the last weeks into a few videos and my writer’s block disappeared. This particular story is one about doom and decapitated appendages, but ultimately, one of friendship and a lifelong bond. Enjoy.

  • Feb 10: Long live Marathon Florida!

    Ahhh, the Razor’s Edge is now safely in the Florida Keys…every liver’s worst nightmare. We spent 2 wks anchored in Marathon’s Boot Key Harbor, and loved every second. Here’s a quick rundown on some items of interest.

  • Feb 5: more SW Florida

    This video had a very full agenda. Hopefully I’ll get to some of it on my next one.

  • Jan 2, 2023: a short year-end update

    I could spend an hour discussing how the trip is going, but here is a short 4+ minute synopsis on a few of the items you may be interested in. And hey, remember, they can’t all be winners

  • Dec 20: Christmas in SWF

    Spoiler alert: this video ends on a happy note, but having said that, as much as they do a great job with Christmas lights and outdoor activities in SW Florida that simply would not be practical up north, the holidays just did not feel the same. Nonetheless, we gave it the old college try and…

  • Dec 19: Beware of what’s below the waterline

    You never know what shifty creatures are lurking below the surface

  • Dec 12: Apalachicola to Punta Gorda, FL.

    I wish I could post an entire day of our trip instead of just 4 1/2 minutes. Especially some random weekday, where we are exploring a steamy hot little mangrove trail on our dinghy, at the same time you are reading emails from corporate…in 38 F temps…in your gray cubicle. Not to gloat or make…
