Idlewild

Sarasota FL

Naval architect, model maker, and son of a son of a sailor. Spent a year cruising the Bahamas with my family as a teenager, now doing it again at 24 on the (minimally) refitted Idlewild. After this year of sailing my own boat, I will be looking for opportunities to crew on other people's boats! Just trying to see as much of the world as I can before things get worse. Have also sailed and cooked on historic schooners, raced on an F33R trimaran, and built several model boats. Talk to me about making a ship-in-a-bottle model of your boat!

Sheet-to-tiller sailing to Hatchet Bay

Entrance was doable in east-southeast winds and flood tide, under power. Sailing in would've been dicey because the wind is blocked by the high bluffs.

Rock Sound to Comber's Beach

Not the shelling paradise I expected (probably because a bunch of people were shelling there before me), but there were a few good ones. Don't anchor where I did, lots of small coral heads, bad holding, snagged anchor and chain.

Slow broad reach became 7 knot blitz

Sailed past Half Moon Bay and its resort under sheet to tiller gear, then wind increased a lot as I rounded the disneyfied south tip of Eleuthera. Took in a double reef and blasted north, going a consistent 7 knots occasionally. Got the plum creek anchorage to myself

Started as a hard beat, became a fast reach

Upon arriving at Orange Creek, the Anchorage was completely unprotected and the swell was awful. But in a couple hours the wind swung around to the north and it settled down completely
