1 Fantastic Year and counting

Skip Jack on the Bay. There are a few of these still working the Bay. Notice the small boat on the stern, its a V-8 engine used to move in and out of port. The boats must be engines-less to work the Bay.

Thur Sept 25th 9:15 am Today marks a year Joyce and I have cruised aboard the Lady H. We have cruised almost 6000 miles together...to Venezuela and back. We have experienced all Mother Nature could hand out, from a full gale and 50+ knots off the coast of SC to windless days motoring back from St Thomas. We had several 200+ mile days ... the 4 min mile in sailing. We sailed more this year than any other... We have met many new cruising friends...who we will meet again at some new anchorage. I started this last cruise recovering from knee replacement surgery last September and 2 back surgeries the previous year, that left me looking at the trawler ads in the magazines. Joyce has been there and pushed me along when I might have otherwise parked the boat. I'm now at 61 and a certified diver , thanks to Joyce. I look forward to the upcoming cruise and diving with Joyce as we discover the beauty of the underwater world. We are planning a 2 yr cruise..parking the boat in Guatemala for hurricane season. As I look forward to the upcoming cruise, I look back at the most enjoyable year cruising I have had aboard the Lady H. My 1st Mate and sole mate is always ready to do the manual tasks that I can't or more often shouldn't. Simply put, I would not be sailing today without her effort and support. Follow us this year as we sail south together to visit new places, new friends, new experiences. Thank you Joyce......
