Stormy Weather

We encountered this approaching storm while heading out onto Cooks Bay. This was mid July, the weekend before we left for our summer holidays.

Ahhhhhhh, holidays . . . .

Le Photo Du Jour

Today's photograph was taken at our new digs, the first time we was there to look at it. A very momentous moment, to be sure.

Really looking forward to many more moments at that place!!

Moving to Our New Home Port Marina!

 Here's a few from the corn roast, last weekend. Or should I have said LAST weekend - as this was to be our final days at the place we called home for nine years. . .


I started the fire early to try & get some heat going. That had to have been the coldest corn roast ever. By the time it was dark out, we had so much firewood in the rim that it was over the top. That was a first that I can remember.

Actually, it got warmer as the night went on. Believe it or not, me & anchor Girl were the last ones left at the fire that night. Hmmmmmmmmm.


Amazing how many unfamiliar faces show up when there's free food & entertainment, eh? Oh, that's right - that was the 'Charity' portion of the slip fees.







Sunday morning & A.G. waves bye bye to Boogaboo for the final ride out of Slip #96.







And just like that - she's at our NEW home & Slip to help tie up. What a woman!

For a minute I thought I'd get all choked up about leaving. Nope. Just happy about finally finding the marina we were looking for all summer :-)

Too bad that things never got any better at the old place, but it was clear nothing was ever going to change & I got tired of asking to have the garbages emptied, etc., etc., etc., etc.. Remember folks, we left the MARINA - not the people there.

Elvis Is Leaving The Building - A New Marina Home

Well, my friends, after nine seasons at Keswick Marine, 'Boogaboo' has found a new home. Everglades Marina in Pefferlaw.

Me & Anchor Girl are really, really looking forward to our move and the adventures it will bring! I'm hyped about the place and the fact that it has more of a resort type of feeling. We spent this past Saturday & Sunday there and spoke to as many of the boaters there as we could, joined in for a Saturday night fire and walked & rode through the whole place a few times. Without exception, everyone was actually happy to be there! And we could even joke around with the owners!

If all works out with the slip we are hoping to get, we'll be fairly close to the river, as these photos show. All the slips back onto grass and are drive up for cars. No more lugging to & from a far away parking lot :-) And we'll be closer to the areas we like to cruise.

With any luck, we'll be doing the actual move over the next couple of weeks.

HAPPY, HAPPY!!!
