First
Janusz made his version of
If you can't stop the leak - go for
Place is sort of
Getting ready to cast off
Leaving Kemah Bridge behind
Arrived at Galveston
Pleasant visit from Andre and Lila
Out in The Gulf. Windpilot at the helm
So the Crew can get some rest
But it is good to take charge every once in a while

Ships passing astern from time to time
A night watch
Sometimes ships pass abow
Overnight visit from petrels
...or is it an invasion?
Quite at home on the winch
Another precious gift from friends about to be consumed
Another day ends.
Our favorite off-watch activity

Sailing is good....
I agree. No argument here
We do some work on occasion
Sometimes overboard (fish line in the prop)
Sometimes at the helm
Another great sunset
Arrived at Conch Harbor, Key West

Time to go shopping. Wereda safely tucked in
Shopping was sucessful

Pulled my bike to visit the Hogfish restaurant
Enjoying Grilled Hogfish. Best tasting fish, period
Let the serious work begin...
First, need to find me a Volvo shop
then pick up a good mechanic
would it be this guy?
I guess it will be a team work...
On Sunday morning we had a nice visit from old
friends from Houston, Eliza and Les.
Les inspected my cellar and found it adequate...
also they viewed videos from Gulf crossing
Key West Manatee waving good bye. Time to get going.....
Encounters on high seas
Entertainment is on its way
Variety in food adds to sense of well being
One of many stunning sunsets

But permanent solution was implemented
