the leones and their new ride

Kind of neat seeing a picture of a cool couple on their first leg of their dream. 

Exit Only and the Buegel Anchor

This is Exit Only, the boat that sailed around the world and is featured in Maxing Out website. Note the Buegel Anchor they wrote about on their blog. Just sitting there ripe for the taking. Had I my handy All-in-One tool, an open trunk, no one looking, and no conscience, I would have just taken it. It was just there so I guess it makes it free. But no, I didn't have any of the above, so I left it. That anchor is as pretty as any airport I have ever been to. 


a big s trimaran

This trimaran was just down the dock from the Leone's Island Packet. I believe it is a Cross Trimaran and about 27 feet wide and 47 feet long. Some guy was living aboard it and had his hatch opened and it looked like a dorm room inside with a couch and full size regular bed and big screen TV. I wonder if he takes it out much? I think this would be a bit much to single hand but Donald Crowhurst almost sailed around the world with a tri, but his was a 40 foot, the Teignmouth Electron

Sailtime Sailing Race this Weekend

Alas, we can't follow along this weekend and monitor the situation. Sailtime Regatta this weekend

Would have been fun to watch them racing as we go by them.

Fort Pierce to the Bahamas

The Leone's just need to get up early, motor out and get a nice northwesterly blow and get across the gulfstream. At 5 knots, it would only take them about 20 hours.

I hope this is the right one.

Water with the Leone's

Rose and Mark popped in for a visit on their way to their new 38 foot Island Packet they bought that is located in Fort Pierce. I felt like Wall Drug by giving them free water, but they were in a hurry and had been driving since 0 Darkthirty. We are heading down to see them this week and hopefully get a chance to sail it without bumping into anything. I didn't have the heart to tell them that it only has one hull. Really cool that they are following their dream. Marty and Linny are doing the same thing on the Left Coast and that is also pretty neat to see. Here is their blog:Painkiller blog
