Our Story In a Nutshell

In 2003 , we began our labor of love and started to restore our CSY 44 sailboat,which we named Freedom. After 5 1/2 years of pure sweat, (Florida in July in a t-vac suit and full mask)some tears, endless reading and lots of leaps of faith, restoration was completed in January 2009. The rest of the story is unraveling as we learn to become the sailors we have always read about. Their inspiration has always lead us to new places...the real reson we started this adventure to begin with. We left from St. Petersburg, Florida in January 2009, sailed to Longboat key, then Useppa, St. James City, Cape Coral, Marathon, Rodriguez Key, Miami, then onto the Bahamas. In the Bahamas we sailed to Norman's Key, Shroud, Hawksbill, Warderick Wells, Black Point, Staniel Key, Spanish wells, Eleuthera, Little Harbor, Marsh harbor and then over to Beaufort North Carolina...up the ICW to Norfolk and finally we ended up in the Chesapeake Bay.

Water, Water everywhere--including here



Wow! Time flies when you are having fun and working on a watermaker....This is definitely the royal "we". John has completed successfully building our new watermaker. Working towards self-sufficiency is a wonderful thing! It works really well! It will make 20 gallons per hour...our many thanks to Jason for his guidance and patience. On the pirate fashion front, John now has a pirced ear. Our multi-talented Jason transformed himself into a pierced earring piercer?(not sure what to call it)...either it was too much rum or a lifeling desire, John will be wearing pirate booty soon...Pics attached...
