Blue Grace: St. Augustine to Stuart
http://storiesofbluegrace.blogspot.com/2007/09/st-augustine-to-stuart.html
One Year of living and sailing on Blue Grace. Thursday, September 13, 2007. St Augustine to Stuart. Of note. If visiting St. Augustine, take the time to visit Marineland. Great dolphin shows. After passing through St. Augustine, the trip south was uneventful as I was sailing through the Intracoastal Waterway, so basically, I was making miles towards Stuart, where I would dock for the winter and take my Navigation License before crossing to the Bahamas.

Blue Grace: Crossing over to The Bahamas.
http://storiesofbluegrace.blogspot.com/2007/09/crossing-over-to-bahamas.html
One Year of living and sailing on Blue Grace. Friday, September 14, 2007. Crossing over to The Bahamas. On Christmas Day, 1991, I decided to test my navigational skills and make the crossing to the Bahamas from West Palm Beach. With a couple of freinds on board, I awoke at 2:45 am ready to go. I checked and double checked my course and set off and by 4 am was out into the Gulf Stream. During the last couple of hours, I doubted my navigation as I had expected to arrive at 1300 but was right on target.

Blue Grace: September 2007
http://storiesofbluegrace.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
One Year of living and sailing on Blue Grace. Friday, September 14, 2007. West End, Grand Bahama Island. I spent three weeks at the marina, wandering about the deserted Jack Tar Village, which was creepy. These are things I had not fully considered upon leaving. Just how difficult getting daily sustenance would become and while romantically, it was ideal, practically, it was a daily challenge to get what I needed to simply eat. Crossing over to The Bahamas. It's odd sailing at night. you see nothing,...

Blue Grace: Towards Savannah
http://storiesofbluegrace.blogspot.com/2007/03/towards-savannah.html
One Year of living and sailing on Blue Grace. Thursday, March 1, 2007. While waiting for parts to arrive, I decided to go for a walk. Since I was kind of in the middle of nowhere, I really didn't quite know where to walk to and I was feeling a little low waiting for parts to arrive. But the facilities had a pay per use bathtub and I figured I'd invest $2.00 and soak my worries away. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). In Lake Champlain, New York.

Blue Grace: Albemarle Sound to North Carolina
http://storiesofbluegrace.blogspot.com/2007/01/north-carolina.html
One Year of living and sailing on Blue Grace. Sunday, January 28, 2007. Albemarle Sound to North Carolina. October 12, 1991. The next morning, I headed towards The Intracoastal Waterway and passed through the Great Bridge Lock at 11 am. The trip is extremely quiet and uneventful and I write in my log that I enjoyed having Blue Grace on Lake Champlain much more than this. Stuart is mile 1,000. It dawns on me that I am doing nothing more than getting someplace as fast as I can go. At Pelican Point Marina, ...

Blue Grace: Coming in to St. Augustine, Florida
http://storiesofbluegrace.blogspot.com/2007/09/coming-in-to-st.html
One Year of living and sailing on Blue Grace. Thursday, September 13, 2007. Coming in to St. Augustine, Florida. Coming in to St. Augustine, Florida, a voice came over the radio asking me to change course as we were on a collision course. I heard the call from below and picked up the handheld at the helm. I couldn't see anyone near me, let alone on a collision course when the water strated to burble and up came this nuclear submarine. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). In Lake Champlain, New York.

Blue Grace: Norfolk and heading off alone...
http://storiesofbluegrace.blogspot.com/2007/01/norfolk-and-heading-off-alone.html
One Year of living and sailing on Blue Grace. Saturday, January 27, 2007. Norfolk and heading off alone. As we begin our descent towards the inner city, we are confronted with the Naval Station at Norfolk, the largest in the World. Towers upon towers of grey war machines are almost an assault to the eyes. Everywhere, seemimgly for miles, are rows and rows of battleships. nuclear submarines, frigates and more. When I got off Blue Grace, I met the owners of several other boats travelling south who were to ...
