The slip at Las Olas was indeed perfect.  Karen arrived without much fuss other than the taxi driver was clueless about the where the City Marina was located.  Karen’s niffy app on her iphone brought her right to the dock.  I guess not many boaters use taxi’s so I guess it was not surprising the […]

Yesterday was quite an experience.  If you are interested in a blow by blow go to our FB “Sitton On The Beach”.  I ventilated fairly often on there yesterday.  We had 27 bridges that required openings and most of them were restricted.  For those of you who may not know, restricted just means they have […]

Good morning all, It is Friday morning and we have been underway since light which was about 6:30am.  We had an interesting day yesterday.  We have been listening to the drone of the motors for days now and even though Rusty is a powerer boater by heart (I don’t think he would admit it) even […]
