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.

Bimini,Bahamas

Happy New Year!



We have been in Bimini for 2 weeks now...much longer than anticipated but we have really enjoyed ourselves. Bimini is usually a place you cross over to from the States and then move on but the weather was awesome and we decided to stay longer. We snorkeled, saw sting rays jump out of the water, fished, caught lobsters, meet some great locals and enjoyed a fun New Year party....I have included some pics for you..one of Stuarts Conch Stand...a great little shack where they make only Conch Salad and serves beers..but they have satellite tv and the door to the head tells you to (using their words)...piss is okay but leave number 2 at home...the toilet literally evacuates into the water below...a pic from New Years..great fireworks and a gorgeous sunset...HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are leaving today for Andros Island...
