Happy Thanksmas



November 21-27, 2021
Happy Thanksmas.  Our daughters came down with their family from the States. We figure since we will not see them for Christmas, we would celebrate Christmas and the American Thanksgiving.  
We had so much fun. 
We even played bowling on Thanksgiving Day.

May 6, 2022- The end of a wonderful trip

Image
May 6, 2022 7:30am- After breakfast, we went back to the boat and made sure all the boat floor boards were lifted and we sprayed First Defence in case there are any bugs.  We locked her up and paid Sally the boat storage and lift out fee and left.  GaYa will be resting for another year.  We went to drop off our Certificate of Registry at US Customs as we always did however we no longe r have to do that. We have to wait until next December to get another cruising permit since the one we have expires December 6, 2023. It is not an easy lifestyle travelling on the boat but it brings you back to the simple life and it makes you appreciate the things you have at home such as running hot water, hot showers, dishwashers,  laundry machines and  all accessibilities  and conveniences of living on land.  We truly enjoy it and realize it is not for everyone. This blog was meant to share our daily life living on the boat for 5 months.  Thanks for reading my blog and we hope  we are able to do this

April 26, 2022 - Back to Fort Pierce, Fla

April 26, 2022 1:00am- I got woken up from a deep sleep when we heard two guys talking on the VHF radio about passing Mangrove. We left the VHF radio on all night in case we needed to communicate with Sun Spirit. Right now we have no cell connection whatsoever to communicate. 2:00am- Made coffee in preparation for our departure from Mangrove to Fort Pierce.  2:45am-Anchors up and off we go. For some reason, I always get excited when we leave in the dark. Wish I could take a photo of the sky. We can see the Milky Way. So beautiful. There is something special about leaving in the dark. Sun Spirit is right behind us.   You can see the lights illuminating the sky from Freeport.  3:45am-we put our radar on since we can see a bright light in the distance. One ship is going adjacent to us on our starboard and one is 5 miles ahead of us going to our starboard. Glad we have an AIS and radar.  So far I have seen 2 falling stars.  4:00am- As the approach the ship, we see on our AIS that the ships

December 13, 2021 6:15- Went for my morning walk to see the sunrise.  Always so mystical.  When I returned around 7:30am, Steve was already busy addressing a few leaking issues. We like a dry bottom boat.  We had our first breakfast on the boat which consisted of yogurt, fruit and granola.   Steve washed and clean the boat topside, fixed a few electrical plugs to charge all our gadgets and checked to make sure the anchor works. All good.   We went to pick up a new bilge indicator and I couldn’t resist going to Bealls.  I love that shop however Steve was pressuring me to move along. He is on a mission.   Steve fired off the barbecue and all was good  Our first dinner on the boat consist of barbecued pork chops, basmati rice and broccoli.  Finished off with oreo cookies and a coffee.   So nice to relax after a hectic busy day.  7:00pm- We went for a nice long walk to look at all the Xmas lights and then came back to watch a movie.   December 14, 2021 6:00am - Woke up this to meet Debra a
