YB and GF wanted to have a day out in the boat alone. So I decided to see another Hampton. Drove about 30 minutes to South Hampton. Cute little town with different shops than Sag Harbor has. Parked the car, and as I was getting out, a street traffic officer was writing my license plateContinue reading “Sometimes you just have to laugh”

Rough, rough seas slowed us down a lot. There were a couple of times i went over an evacuation plan in my head. I just feel like “delivery” captains just don’t care about the boat. I may be wrong, but that has been my experience with this captain. YB saw diverse weather and told captContinue reading “And we made it!”

YB and GF left the boat yesterday to fly the rest of the trip. Delivery Capt came aboard. Long time friend of YB and a frequent in Sag Harbor. Very nice man. But boy the difference in traveling with YB and delivery captain are crazy. His goal is just to get the boat there. He’dContinue reading “Delivery Captain On Board”

The history here is so deep, the buildings so charming. On my walk I saw a cemetery where most were buried in the early 1800’s Saw a prayer wall where each color of ribbon represents a different type prayer Excited, as we are on our way to Bald Island. He was unable to get aContinue reading “Charleston”

Had an amazing balance of work and play. GF invited me to dinner with she and YB. Even before my chores were done, he invited me to cocktails with them while they played a card game No matter how hard work and hard labor and expectations can get, it’s a family feel on this boat.Continue reading “I feel so blessed”

I really need to get comfortable docking. But every time boss offers, I find an excuse not to. Today just before we got here, a boat ran aground because they didn’t plan high tide right. YB says get up here and take over, you are going to maneuver around this shit and go into theContinue reading “Why do I get so scared?”

I have friends that are already in New York. This particular friend delivers the boat from miami to New York, where the owners live. So the trip there is not Lolly gaggin and site seein. So for us to take this much time…is crazy to him. Every time he asks where we are he hadContinue reading “Finally outta Florida”

Well. Kinda. This is the way it has always been. YB will say take the day off tomorrow, what that means is set your alarm to have the boat dried at sunrise. Make beds, clean bathrooms, vacuum/mop floors, and do laundry, then enjoy your day off.

Met some girls at the same marina bar as last night. Lindsay, a kindergarten school teacher and I hit it off. She introduced me to her friends and the night took us to a dive bar in New Smyrna.

We had a 6.5 hour drive today. I drove most of the way. Seas were too rough so we stayed inside. YB and his GF got to play cards and enjoy each other, plus I feel useless when we are underway. Salt water flying, I can’t work outside. I’ve already done the inside. so driving,Continue reading “Very strange”
