A day in the life...

We've been asked, SO WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE CREWING AND CRUISING?
Well, it's not all sunsets and drinking, although ....  Here is a snippet of life on a boat that's constantly moving from place to place.

You have to keep a watch for other boats and reefs.

Still keeping an eye out for reefs.

Relaxing in our spacious luxury suite.


Doing dishes with my drying buddy.

Scrubbing the scum off the boat.

Carol was great at filleting fish.

Carving up more fish.

Driving the boat with the spinnaker up.  (One of my favorite things to do!)

Another slow day on watch.

Wetting down the deck so the fish won't make a mess.
Don't want scales and blood all over the place!

Fish for dinner!

Splicing line; there's always some maintenance to do.

Cleaning the boat after a passage.

And of course chamoising the boat so no water spots

Cleaning up the galley.

Getting ready to drop anchor.

Underway, so put away those dock lines.

The view from 90' up.

Dinner's almost ready!  Come and get it guys.


Supervising the refueling.

But why don't I have any clean shirts?

Another stressful day on the boat.


I feel the need, the need for SPEED!

She's laughing because she's not looking back!

Slooowwww day.

Sometimes it's easier to sleep in the cockpit.  


Grocery shopping is always an adventure in 3rd world countries.

Plenty of THESE!

Another great day comes to an end.

And there's always things to see down here.


So, as you can see there's always plenty to do.  Sometimes it's not a lot of fun, other times, well, as the country song says, There's no such thing as too much fun!
