  • Its been a long time………Gettin\’ from here to there!…….

    Dear F&F,
    Its 8:30 pm on Saturday night and Cindy and I have just \”cut the cord\”
    figuratively speaking. We stowed the dock cord and the hose, so you know
    we\’re ready to go.
    We\’ll be leaving the dock around 6am on Sunday the 23rd. Thats just 9 hours
    from now. We\’ll update our travels soon so standby………..The Voyage
    Begins!…….
    First stop, Ventura, California where we will be hauling the boat out of the
    water and adding underwater lights, re-painting the bottom and other
    maintenance.
    With a few trials and tribulations, our new wireless \”air card\” is keeping
    us on the internet. So feel free to write us at our regular emails or via
    the website contact form.
    We\’ll get them either way.

  • Getting Ready to Set Sail….One Month TO GO!

    For all our Friends and Family who are checking in…..We have about one month to go to begin our voyage. Our first stop will be to Ventura to haul the boat out of the water and paint our bottom. New underwater lights will be installed as well……KIT, Scott and Cindy

  • Risos Dolphins enroute Catalina Island…..

    Hello F&F,
    We arrived here at 4th of July Cove at the Isthmus of Catalina. The wind was a bit much for bow and stern anchor \”fire\” drills
    with too many boats around at Big Geiger, discretion being the better part of valor, we picked up a mooring here. We see many friends the place is packed. We sailed over most of the way, winds to 20 knots or so. We also saw 3 pods of dolphins including our first ever sighting of \”Risos\” Dolphins. They are motled and very white!…… Rare, but are seen here in So. Cal.

    The day was warm, the winds nice and Cindy and I are snugged in for the night.

    Write to either of our boat emails. We should be able to pick them up easily here

  • 3 Months and Counting!

    90 days to go, lots to get ready before we finally cast off.

  • Arrival at Santa Barbara Island……

    Hi guys, we left at around 11:15 this morning, finally got off the dock.
    Cindy saw a shark while Scott was asleep off watch and Scott saw a Humpback Whale while Cindy was asleep off watch.

    We are here with one other sailboat and two small power boats. Arrived at 5 pm. Cindy is cooking dinner, the wine is cold, its gray and cool, but calm and nice. I\’m sure we will go for a hike tomorrow sometime. The sea lions are everywhere, this place really does sound like a Dog Kennel…….:)

    Drop us a note, we will check the mail a few times/day.
    Love and Hugs,
    Scott and Cindy
