Week five on the ICW – almost there!

On December 27, 2018September 16, 2019 By Nicole ReeseLeave a comment

  December 26, 2018 The day after Christmas we continued south to New Smyrna Beach. We managed to time the tides and currents perfectly so that it propelled us onward from inlet to inlet the entire day, and we managed to cover 68 miles of the ICW! A new record. We missed a bridge opening, …

Hello, Atlantic

After spending a week in Beaufort, SC Eric and I were antsy to keep moving south. During our short break Eric fixed the whole 'boiling a lead acid battery' issue, and replaced the solar charger to properly utilize our solar panels. We finally had power we could trust! Mwahahaha. We felt like we could take …

Watching the weather, we knew it would be a close call and we probably should have stopped …

OLD POST (COMMENTS FROM WHEN I POSTED ORIGINALLY, before I reposted in the proper timeline) I'm a little backlogged - we are currently in Titusville, Florida. It's hard to believe we've been on the boat for over a month now. It has been exhausting to cruise 40-60 miles a day, hunker down for bad weather, …

First week of cruising the ICW

On December 9, 2018 By Nicole Reese1 Comment

  We spent a few days adjusting to life on a sailboat, and although we hadn't quite sorted everything, it was time to start cruising the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW)! We are headed south as fast as we can. During our first week of cruising we've learned so much every day. First we learned how to …
