Leave Lake Worth Tuesday, February 05 - 03:30 AM..

We meet again Dirk and Nancy, S/V Renegade in the anchorage Lake Worth..we admired so much their boat..

John and Nigel spend the whole afternoon working to finish the solar panel before crossing the gulf the next day..

Yey..one more screw John?

And here we are..03:40 AM the anchor up..

We are so amazed to see the sunset on the way..

Out of the mist show up this grey ship..

Hm..what a weather..calm sea, blue sky and the wind comes from the nose, no chance for sailing..

About 10 hours cruising, Great Isaac Light House shows up on the horizon..

We continue another couple of hours, anchor behind Little Isaac, about 24 ft depth

John prepared to anchor..

We are in Bahamas now..switch flag..

Want to see another sunset? Here one of the pictures, sunset in the middle of Atlantic Ocean..

And the picture below is the sunrise the next day..uh..warm day is coming..

Can tell you how warm it is..try to decide where to go..

Another project to be done while on the way, water maker..John in his basement locker..

And..we found treasure, abandon kayak..

Another long day cruising, arrive just outside Chub Cay when the sun just about to go down and yey..we captured the green flash..

Nice, quiet morning and one by one leave the anchorage area, with various destination

after couple hours..the sea became a bit rough..

Early noon we arrived in Nassau, tied up in Nassau Harbour Club..ha..glad we landed in the land again..after went through the clearance process, we walked around, had internet connection in Starbucks

Saber Tooth amongs the mega boat..

So many things to see out there..up to the sky, down to the ocean..

We had a couple of days in Titusville, had a tour in Kennedy Space Center. Bonus to this trip, we had a chance to see the Rocket Launch..just outside of the Tiki Bar.

 

 

Our next dream....orbit the earth...to Mars.. 

Like John said..

He started from dream..and that dream came true..

Dressing in Kennedy Space Center..Dayle with Nasa Socks..

Amazing to see the Rocket Launch..a big fire works in the sky..

Continue the Solar Panel Project on the way..mooring in Vero Beach

Another spectacular sunset..so many pictures of sunset but never tired to have more..

Sailed and cruised to Lake Worth..and enjoyed the twizzlers..

Waiting for the weather window in Cannonsport Marina, Lake Worth..

The journey continue..entering 2013

Back aboard Saber Tooth ...

Well last week we arrived and has been busy ... getting the boat cleaned up inside after her being shut up in this warm damp Florida weather ... dusty after our living last fall and the accumulation from the last two months.

We are in the water again after checking out things below the waterline ... all was fine and so here we are in Rivers Edge Marine ... a nice quiet spot in St Augustine.

 We are working on the following projects while here: 

1) Finish the installation of our watermaker.
2) Finish the configuring and installation of our high capacity alternator (160 amps) and regulator.
3) Install solar panels over the bimini. Two 215W Kyocera panels. Hope not to have to run the generator for battery charging (only water making).
4) Provision with sufficient beer for 3 months. Beer in US can be found for $16/24 cans ... in the Bahamas it is about the same price as Canada. Of course some other items will have be brought on board ...
5) Get the sails on
6) Varnish the toe rails and hand rails ... again!

 We have a new feature on the boat ... Santa brought us a SPOT satellite tracking system. You will find a link on the blog that will show where we are as we travel ... more like as we press the button to let concerned and curious people know where we are and that we are safe ... we will see how it goes.

Gotta love boating.
