To see as much of the world as we can,
Using the smallest carbon footprint we can,
Spending the least amount of money we can,
Making as many friends we can.

  • Ph. IV, day 14, Little Torch Key

    We've anchored near Pye Key and Torch Key. While we dropped the anchor at 24°39.803′N 081°25.583′W, we didn't stay there.

    I did not read the coastal pilot carefully. The "controlling depths" for the channels near here are 3½′ and 4′. This is a place …


  • Ph. IV, day 5, Lower Matecumbe Key

    We're still anchored at 24°51.762′N 080°44.516′W, not far from Lower Matecumbe Key. There's a little sandbar for a little sandbar party. But It's Monday, so not much party action.

    We spent two days waiting for weather. We did mostly nothing.


  • Ph. IV, day 3, Lower Matecumbe Key

    Our third day of "day sailing" to go island hopping. (Again, not actually sailing, the wind was on the nose, so it was a 5-hour motor.)

  • Pt. IV, day 2, Rodriguez Key Waterspout

    Some weather this afternoon. A waterspout. Thankfully, it stayed far away from us.

    We sailed into one, years ago. They're scary. But …


  • Pt. IV, day 2, Rodriguez Key

    Another fun bit of "day sailing". (Not actually sailing, the wind was on the nose, so it was a 4-hour motor.)

    We're anchored at 25°03.500′N 080°26.734′W, not far from Rodriguez Key. And the sandbar party.

    Yesterday, I had a fit …


  • Ph. IV, day 1, Pumpkin Key

    This "day sailing" is fun. Instead if a bruising 20-hour overnight passage, we did a leisurely five and one-half hours down Biscayne Bay and into Cove Sound.
