Kemah, TX
Finally got over the fear of destroying the husband's and kiddo's heads and watched some YouTube videos on how to cut hair πββοΈ ! Here is the link I used to quickly learn. https://youtu.be/J9cmcNn8BLI?si=k_dH32bXndq7he86 They look so much better, and probably feel 10 pounds lighter lol π
Waiting out hurricane Erin and headed to town to enjoy the day!
Crazy rocket launch last night while sailing from,West palm beach Florida,to Saint Augustine. Crazy experience,like a miniature sun rise!!π π€©π
Was so lucky to be right by Cape Canaveral last night at the perfect time to see a launch π Chris was going crazy knowing we were technically in the debris zone.... but we made it out unscathed and fascinated!!! We are here and unsure how long we will be here, kinda all depends on what TS Erin decides she wants to do! π
We are tucked away here waiting out the rain that is supposed to start and then we will head to St Augustine Enjoying the clear water one last time for the season! ποΈ
Made it to Key Largo! What a day sail! 6 foot nasty waves and wind right on the nose. It was uncomfortable but we did it! Do not know how long we will be here, but next stop is St Augustine... First we must tackle the no smell filter in the master bedroom that smells like a ripe lift station at the moment π€’ had to remove the hanging clothes before they rot lol! When you open the closet door the septic smell knocks you down
Will park here for the night Nice beach access ποΈ and we are all alone out here on βοΈ
Finally can say we are out of the Gulf! We will wait out here for a few days to a week... depending on the new update from the NHC and go north! We had a lot of fun this last trip with multiple storms, crazy waves π and crappy upwind angles. Last night was a real trip for Silas and we are all a bit sleep deprived @SilasParent @CLP Oh hey @sailingblisslife we are parked in your old spot lol
Almost out of the Gulf, but had a quick stop in the Tampa and St Petersburg area. We may leave tomorrow or at least by Friday to get to Key West! The water was calm and the winds were non-existent...so calm in fact we stopped mid-way to jump into the water and swim for a bit. We had to motor most of the way. But we want to get outta here before something happens in the Gulf. We got in at 03:30 this morning and slept till 10... then went to see some tortoise π’ on the beach. ποΈ @SilasParent @CLP
We have made it to Pensacola, FL to hide out from whatever the storm decides to do. We were trying to get to Key West and were watching the National Hurricane Center over the last few days before jumping this way to avoid the mess!!! We had the sails up at times, but the wind was 3-5 knots for much of the trip. The sea state was not bad....nothing like the Gulf crossing we did a few months ago! So we will tuck in here for the weekend and see what happens! Have not been here since doing my water survival school for the USAF back in 2002! @CLP and @SilasParent have never been here. Also saw some cool water spouts yesterday
