Starry Night Graphic....done!

One of the really fun parts of making our new boat our own was deciding on the name and selecting a graphic.

Steve and I discussed several names before landing on Starry Night. Some of our fondest boating memories - starting with our first date - involved star gazing. Those memories, along with our shared love of Van Gogh provided the inspiration for our final choice.

Off to a Beautiful Start!

We arrived in Nassau just in time to get Starry Night ship-shape and ready for our first guests, and for a final shopping run to augment our galley inventory with a few fresh foods.  Nassau is by far the most populated city we've been to, and it was really nice to see locals enjoying their weekend at the beautiful beaches.  Montague Beach Weekend Family Time at the Beach On Sunday afternoon, after receiving a text from Darlyn that she and Brad were en route from the airport, Steve and I dinghied to the nearby public dock to pick them up.  The dock wasn't suitable for tying up to for a long time, so we waited in the dinghy nearby and watched a couple of men fishing.  One of them started hollering and pointing, but neither of us could understand what he was saying from the distance.  We moved a bit closer and could finally make out the words:  "Cow! Cow! Don't hit it!" We looked around and eventually saw a mother and baby manatee right behind the dinghy. While we of

Family, Celebrations, Holidays and Other Happenings

Home for the Holidays After our arrival in Titusville on November 9th, we settled into our "home port" routine of seeing doctors, visiting family and preparing for the holidays. Bridgette and her boyfriend, Griff, came from Charleston to attend a wedding in Tampa, and added a whirlwind tour from Titusville to Palm Beach Gardens and Satellite Beach to visit grandparents while they were here. Wedding Guests, Bridgette and Griffin  Bridgette's childhood friend, Naomi, on her Wedding Day  Bridgette and Naomi on Another Special Day, Long Ago Within a week we would be joining Bridgette again in Charleston for Thanksgiving, and to help her out during recovery from knee surgery. Before that, though, Steve and I celebrated an early Thanksgiving with both sets of parents in Satellite Beach, with Steve preparing the first of two traditional turkey dinners. Bridgette's surgery and subsequent post-op recuperation went very well, but I stayed two weeks to help out with cooking, err

March Madness Continues!

  Our daughter, Jessie, and son-in-law, Will, arrived a few hours after our nieces' departure. Although there were some last-minute changes in their flights that were frustrating for them, we were thrilled because they arrived half-a-day earlier than originally planned which allowed them to settle in and rest a bit for our departure the next morning.  Jessie and Will Aboard Starry Night The winds were not favorable for sailing the next day, but we motored - with a boost from the jib - to Allan's Cay, the island just north of Highbourne Cay.  We selected Allan's because the charts showed promising areas for snorkeling and also because within the next couple of days the wind was forecast to shift clockwise 270 degrees, starting from the east, all the way to northerly and be fairly gusty - up to 30 mph or so. We were greeted as we anchored by one of the many nurse sharks we encountered during our season in the Bahamas.  We are guessing that some boats feed them because there w
