As the top says, we like to sail, travel and eat. Most of this blog is written with my tongue firmly planted in my cheek. Beware that I might get a bit salty with the language at times, but it's all in good fun.
And despite what you may read, we are a very happily married couple.because we can laugh at ourselves.
Laugh. Love. Eat. Sail. Enjoy.

The Pirates of the Prairie take over Biscayne Bay

And numbnuts here didn't take pictures, hopefully I can get some from the crew.

We had a bunch of friends from the lake marina come to Miami Strictly Sail so we scheduled a day on the water with them.

Theme music for this post is: What do you do with a drunken sailor....

So, it was a great time, although....
1) We almost ran aground.....twice.
2) We almost had a man overboard....in the slip.
3) We almost had some teeth knocked out from the jib clew.  Evidently the 'down in front' message wasn't conveyed properly.

However, we did have a good time.  Beautiful day, and we got to do a great tour of the Miami skyline and Stiltsville.  (Which I was actually sailing through Biscayne Channel. Sphincter Factor = 10)

Here's the few photos I did manage to shoot. C'mon, I was trying to be an adult here. We ain't in Kansas anymore, Toto!


Regatta of Optis


Please note that there's a serious blue can infraction in this picture.
The requisite 30 pack was BUD LIGHT. Gah!

Time for Sundowners. (and blessing the cockpit floor with copious amounts of wine)
