I must admit that I am impressed with WholesaleMarine.com for the speed at which they processed and shipped our order. The bottom paint arrived from them yesterday via UPS and was packaged very well. Please note that I have no affiliation with their company. I decided to go ahead and order epoxy primer and resin [...]
Today we scheduled the haul-out of Monomoy for March 2. We will be putting new bottom and topside paint on her to freshen her up a bit for the spring sailing season. Hopefully we won’t be out of the water for more than a few days. We ordered new name, port, and registration vinyl for [...]
This weekend was absolutely beautiful. We headed out of Bayou Chico around 8:30am Saturday morning for a leisure sail to Ft. McRee. We dropped the hook around noon and played on the beach for the remainder of the day. There were other boaters hanging out and cruising around. There were some floating condos backed to [...]
After fighting water current for 6 months using our trolling motor when trying to get to shore and back, we decided to outfit our dink with a new Mercury 3.5hp gasoline engine. There were too many times where the little 30# thrust motor just didn’t feel like it was going to get us back to [...]
We made it out both days for a couple hour sail each time. Saturday was pretty winds with gusts that kept us on our toes and yesterday was calm and relaxing. Overall it was a great weekend to be on the water.
It was a gorgeous weekend, but we didn’t get any sailing in. Blake was sick all weekend and had a fever Saturday. He was doing better yesterday morning and did make it to school. This coming weekend is supposed to be just as nice, so we’ll be out on the water for sure. It’s storming [...]

We got up around 5am Saturday morning, fixed coffee and had breakfast, then went for a couple of hours sail before returning to Ft. [...]
Made it sailing today, but there was virtually no wind. It was probably around 4 knot winds to start, which carried us over to around Ft. Pickens, but then it died down to nothing, so we ended up motoring back. It was a day on the water though, so I can’t really complain. Hopefully Ike [...]
