Cruising Adventures with S/V Temptation: A real Lady and ever so slowly

http://quick-temptation.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-real-lady-and-ever-so-slowly.html

Cruising Adventures with S/V Temptation. Tuesday, May 5, 2015. A real Lady and ever so slowly. We are still sailing our plan and made Bull Creek easily. We had a favorable current most of the day. Bull Creek was a nice anchorage except it being a Sunday we had to endure a lot of small boat traffic and accompanying wakes - there is a marina further up the river. Church creek is a nice anchorage but we had some strong sea breeze against a strong current which has us forward on our anchor tonight. Not d...

Cruising Adventures with S/V Temptation: 3/29/15 - 4/5/15

http://quick-temptation.blogspot.com/2015_03_29_archive.html

Cruising Adventures with S/V Temptation. Wednesday, April 1, 2015. Life is easy when you have a Green Turtle. We had a nice run up to Treasure Cay yesterday. We were in by 11:30am. As usual the wind was stronger than forecast and of course - wrong direction than forecast - on the nose as usual. Not too crowded but had to pick a spot between some boats. It was a good one because we had good internet from the Marina. I did some work this afternoon changing the main engine oil and the water/fuel separator o...

Cruising Adventures with S/V Temptation: Moving with a vengence!

http://quick-temptation.blogspot.com/2015/05/moving-with-vengence.html

Cruising Adventures with S/V Temptation. Saturday, May 2, 2015. Moving with a vengence! We finally left Saint Augustine on Thursday. Finally. The NOAA forecaster and Chris Parker have cost me some dollars. They have both been painting horrible weather these last several days (thats why we stayed in the marina) and virtually none has happened here. Im just going to move inspite of the forecasts. Hopefully the 60 mile days are done and we can get back to a conservative 40 to 50 mile days.

Cruising Adventures with S/V Temptation. Saturday, May 16, 2015. Cape Fear River - How I Loathe Thee. The Cape Fear area has smitten me again. Ive made I think 5 trips along the Cape Fear River thus 10 legs. Of those 10 legs only 2 can be called enjoyable. Friday we just stayed put and relaxed some. I checked over the steering gear and the Autopilot. The linear drive was definitely free wheeling now. It will have to be disassembled to determine the extend of the damage. Damn. As a note - I wanted to dive...

Cruising Adventures with S/V Temptation. Thursday, April 23, 2015. Northern Florida is Great. We have had 2 absolutely perfect travel days. We went from Daytona Beach to Palm Coast Marina yesterday under absolutely perfect weather. We had a very favorable tide part of the way too. The Temps and wind were ideal. I hate sanitation plumbing. I used one of those chucks or inconstancy pad rather than sacrifice a towel. Worked Great! After my job I went to Victoria Gaye to help Buck with his leaking fitting on...

http://quick-temptation.blogspot.com/2015/04/surprise-surprise.html

Cruising Adventures with S/V Temptation. Tuesday, April 28, 2015. St Augustine Old Town area is really different on a weekday vs the weekend. It was quite quiet here yesterday. It was a cloudy day and quite comfortable with a high of only 78 degrees. Sunday the temps got up to 94 degrees - thanks for the air conditioning. It was pleasant here plugged into the marina. Old friends from New Bern and havent seen since December in Vero Beach. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Alternate position reporter - f...

Cruising Adventures with S/V Temptation: 4/12/15 - 4/19/15

Cruising Adventures with S/V Temptation. Monday, April 13, 2015. On the MOVE again. We really enjoyed a rest stop at Old Port Cove marina but it was time to be moving on. Partly because it was about $100 a day there! We can stay at Vero for $17 a day. We cleared customs this morning and what a NIGHTMARE that was. You would think this was their first day on the job. What a waste of taxpayers money. and our time. Sorry but had to vent. Once back at the marina we checked out then were on our way to Hobe...

Cruising Adventures with S/V Temptation. Monday, May 18, 2015. We made it back to our home port of Northwest Creek Marina early this afternoon. This ends our Bahamas Cruise of 2014/15 - 7 months and 5 days. We enjoyed an Art Festival and boat show on the Morehead City Waterfront - took luxuriating showers at the lounge, and had a fine dinner at Floyds Restaurant. We will stay here at the Marina until Thursday when we can get a ride home via Matthew! Time to start cleaning the boat and packing to leave.
