Summer destination: Dry Tortugas National Park

admin — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 18:25:53 +0000

Dry Tortugas National Park is only 70 miles West of Key West. We are planning to make this trip at some point during the summer since we will be in the Keys anyway. Its supposed to be fantastic snorkeling and exploring. It should be a pretty easy crossing from Key West and will be good practice for future trips, like to Mexico!

From May 26, 2009 Picnic Island to Bimini Basin – 6 miles

admin — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 20:42:15 +0000

May 26, 2009. Dinghy has been stolen which forces us to return too Bimini Basin (Cape Coral, Fl) to start the search again. Having a 5.5′ draft makes it pretty difficult to pull in for supplies and to enjoy the islands we plan to visit. Motoring. Departed Picnic Island (Sanibel, Fl) ~11am. Engine cranked right up. No problems. Steven pulled the anchor. Best pull yet. Took less than 5 minutes to haul in the anchor/mooring ball and get the boat turned around towards the ICW. Winds ~6-8kts. Making 5.3kts with the wind blowing over starboard. Throttled down to 5kts due to engine blowing black smoke. Guess 5.3 in this wind is too much for our jumpy 27hp diesel. Bumped 5.9kts after turning NE. On a side note: Thanks, Joyful Spirit, for hogging the ICW and cutting us off. Anchored at Bimini Basin ~12:45pm. You can make great time when the wind decides to be helpful. A warm welcome from Tony aboard Miss Cindy.

(Starboard navigation station & hallway leading to aft cabin)

Diesel & transmission need to be replaced, keel needs to be reinforced (it flexes when pressure is applied by hand), fuel tank hasn’t been looked at, thru hull fittings need to be replaced, blisters, used sails will be needed, lead in keel has been forced through the salon floor, left rear engine mount needs work, definitely needs both bottom and topside paint after a good sanding, bow pulpit is destroyed, stanchions on the starboard side need to be replaced, all wood will need sanding and refinishing, rudder needs some repair, all wiring/plumbing will need to be worked on, water tank needs to be cleaned and put into place, mast/boom needs paint, line should be replaced, prop shaft/cutlass housing needs to be repaired, a/c can wait but will eventually need to be dealt with, steering needs to be unlocked, chain plates need to be replaced in some spots, refrigeration is non-existent, aft head door and v-berth door need to be replaced as well as a forward closet door.
