The Plan
We made the loooong trip to Tallahassee this weekend. Some highlights from our last trip of the year…
Hello Ft. Lauderdale
We are all ready to go… but it is bad luck to leave on Friday. We moved onto the boat yesterday and got all settled in. Braden and I spent today organizing, cleaning and one last trip home to check on things. Ethel spent the day doing what she does
Lake Boca
This was the start of our provisioning… a trip to CostCo. In the last two weeks we’ve fully stocked the boat… with a lot of shopping. * 2 trips to Ft. Lauderdale * 1 trip to Sailorman * 1 trip to Boat Owners Warehouse * 5 trips to West Marine * 1 trip to
Superstition
We’re all packed and our clothes are loaded on the boat. In case you’re wondering what 2 months of clothes look like… Braden Erin
Stocking up
Solar panels are mounted… radio is installed. We have a few more things to take care of, and then we are on our way.
Packing for 2 months
Our new depthfinder is installed and ready for the trip!

Looks like we’re going to finally have a weather window for crossing late Friday afternoon through Saturday! We plan to leave Miami some time between 12:00 AM and 4:00 AM on Saturday and cut across to Bimini. Its about 48 nautical miles, which could take us anywhere
Texas
My parents got us an underwater camera for Christmas ( Thanks Mom and Dad! ). Braden wanted to try out it before our trip… so he used it in the hot tub.
Margaritas
Posted by Erin on September 3, 2011 My second try at sausage and cheese kolaches. According to Braden these are "right". Must be because the recipe came directly out of the Texas Home Cooking book.
Vegas!
