We want to go sailing!!

Could it be??? A reasonable weekend forecast? We won’t hold our breath, but hope the forecast holds true. We’ve had some really nice weekdays, but school/work prohibit us from casting lines and sailing on those days. Weekends have been ugly/windy with fronts moving through every weekend for the past 3 weekends. Last sail was Sunday [...]

Thanksgiving 2011

Thanksgiving at Palm Harbor Marina. There were ~20 people for dinner without a complaint to be heard.

Independence Weekend

Well the intent was to sail out to Big Sabine for a couple of nights, then head over to Quietwater for the July 4 fireworks display, but the weather had other plans. With high wind and heavy seas as a result of the area of low pressure we had overhead, it made for a weekend [...]

April 9-11 at the dock

We had a great weekend just hanging out at the dock. The weather was gorgeous and we probably should have sailed, but it was our first opportunity to get the new boat provisioned and all of our gear transferred from the Catalina. We started off Friday afternoon at the usual cocktail hour under the marina [...]

Weekend at the Marina

We dropped Blake’s boat “The Force” into the water on Thursday evening the 13th.  We had hoped for a nice sailing weekend, so we could sail with ‘Private Stock Too’ over to Pirates Cove, but it wasn’t meant to be.  We headed out Friday and made about an hour of headway when the weather discouraged [...]

Dock Sailing
