http://www.gremlinshammer.com/2015/04/savannah-to-amiela-island-to-st.html
Traveling adventures with gremlins and sailboats. Savannah to Amiela Island to St Augustine. On 01 Jan 2015 we left the dock and said goodbye to Savannah. With a beautiful sail down the coast, I pulled into Amelia Island around midnight and picked up a mooring ball. I had a day to rest before new crew arrived on the boat. As always I had to go to The Happy Tomato and get some of my favorite BBQ. Thanks for checking out the blog- I LOVE hearing from you! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Dan and Cath's ...

Gremlin's Hammer: Charleston to Savannah
http://www.gremlinshammer.com/2015/04/charleston-to-savannah.html
Traveling adventures with gremlins and sailboats. On 27 Dec 2014 we departed CHS heading further down the coast. At around 2200 the Hammer inched her way into a quite spot to anchor beside of the USMC base in Port Royal, SC. At first light the anchor was up but not before the Marines. Upon return to the boat I found the party. A stage was built very close to the docks. A band was playing, people were celebrating with open containers, and fireworks. What's a party without fireworks? Savannah, you ROCK!

Traveling adventures with gremlins and sailboats. The Treaty of Paris. Was signed in Annapolis and officially ended the Revolutionary War (until 1812 of course). Annapolis is a sailors dream. I have been there for the boat show that is in October. I totally prefer non-boat show time. The city had a warm energy welcoming me to eat, drink, and make friends. See how I just combined my new friends with some history? Links to this post. No sooner did I creep under the first bridge and round the corner did I s...

Gremlin's Hammer: Wilminton to Charleston
http://www.gremlinshammer.com/2015/04/wilminton-to-charleston.html
Traveling adventures with gremlins and sailboats. On 22 Dec 2014 I left Wilmington in great spirits. The vessel was preforming well and my soul was happy. The plan was to sail down the Cape Fear River, enter the Atlantic, hang a right, then sail overnight to CHS. Everything was going to plan until nightfall. The heavy fog was not part of the master plan. During the fog I would switch back from radar (did I spell that backwards? To AIS. It was nice to be able to see and be seen. Red Pill or Blue Pill.

Traveling adventures with gremlins and sailboats. Red Pill or Blue Pill. It's late and I have had a long day. For every one step forward I have taken two steps back this week. The starting pistol is only a couple of days away. A dream that was started in 1997 has come to bare fruit. Saturday morning I will be throwing off the dock lines for and epic journey. The title of this post is from the Matrix. For me the Blue Pill. The fact of the matter is this, I am gambling everything on a dream. A dream to...

Gremlin's Hammer: Why?
http://www.gremlinshammer.com/p/why.html
Traveling adventures with gremlins and sailboats. WHY DO YOU CHOOSE TO LIVE THE WAY THAT YOU DO? THE ANSWER IS THAT I LOVE THE SIMPLICITY AND FREEDOM OF LIVING THE WAY I DO. IT IS FREEDOM FROM "STUFF," FROM MONOTONY, FROM THE EXPECTATIONS OF A NORMAL LIFE. I LIKE TO BE AS SELF-SUFFICIENT AND INDEPENDENT AS POSSIBLE. BEING SELF-SUFFICIENT ALLOWS ME TO BE FREE. ALLOWS ME TO DO WHAT I WANT, HOW I WANT, AND WHEN I WANT. WHY WOULD I WANT TO LIVE ANY OTHER WAY? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Red Pill or Blue Pill.

Traveling adventures with gremlins and sailboats. What a difference a year makes. Mystic is a sleepy little town on the coast of CT. Following suit with my weather windows I ducked into West Cove, Noank, CT hours before a big blow came through. It was possibly the roughest mooring field I have ever been in. Not to mention way over priced at $75 per night for a mooring ball. Opting to not fork over anymore cash, I decided to stretch my legs and walk the 3 miles back to the boat. Links to this post. The ma...

Traveling adventures with gremlins and sailboats. Out with the old and in with the new. The old oil rig of a pump crapped out just after dinner with a full sink of dirty dishes. The newly departed was a belt driven Jabsco 4.2 gpm PAR. In my professional opinion a inline drive will out perform the belt driven models. The replacement pump is a Jabsco 7.0 gpm pump. The reason I went for the gusto is to over power, but under use the max volume by faucet contol. Links to this post. Replaced the marine head.
