    Scott here. Today we left Clewiston and traveled east to Stuart. We are finally on the East Coast! Technically we have about 10 miles, as the boat floats, to get to the Atlantic, but close enough! I am not sure I believed we could do it! But, through prayer and hard work we have made…

    Rita with a couple short videos. These were initially posted as “Reels” on Facebook and cannot be embedded and can only be viewed by clicking the link.

    Rita from Nov. 21, 2023. Today, I’m going back to last week and our time spent in Clearwater. We had an absolutely wonderful time in Clearwater!

    Scott here. Pretty darn easy day today, although it didn’t always feel like that! On paper, it looks easy. In real life not so much. As you saw by Rita’s earlier post the morning was beautiful and Jazzy wanted us to see the sunrise. Not even thinking about it last night we took her for…

    Scott here. LaBelle was a cute little town. Nice dock at a park for us to take Jazzy for a walk and a coffee shop for Rita to get a cup of joe this morning! Today will be a shorter day. But we will have to deal with three locks (one by choice.) Initial PlanDate:…

    Travel Day #34 stats

    Scott here. It was a boring day today. It was foggy after we left our anchorage. I knew it was hazy, but it turned into thick fog in no time. FL boaters don’t seem to be the most patient or smart ones out there. They are going way to fast in the fog and you…
