Michael from Flying Scotsman doing another Great Loop!

I forgot to mention, I met a fellow brat/looper at Cocoa. The Flying Scotsman. He had air conditioning! He' a gold looper and is on his second trip.

Hi all, Am on the Okeechobee waterway, by Ortona lock/ La Belle. Good trip on the waterway, gators my constant companion, with the occasional Bald Eagle. Very uncrowded. Nice temps in the lower 70's at night, great with a fan, I had to turn it off it was a little chilly! Spent a couple days...

I discovered a leak from a small seam or crack under the step in the cabin. I talked to Bob at length about this and he mentioned water from under a tab from under the gas tank under the raised floor. In around 8 hours I soaked up about 1/2 gallon with sponges. For the rest of the trip, the...

Hi, I'm sorry I didn't see your post earlier. I'm in Daytona Beach anchored out now just off the ICW. I just finished disassembling cleaning and greasing the Lewmar windless. I certainly didn't see any evidence of crimes at pine island. Only a couple dolphins eating, spoonbills and ibises eating...

Anchored at Pine Island, just north of St Augustine. Had some rain, but a very good cruise. Smooth, deep water most of the way. I was raised in Florida, so I identified with and explored a lot of the state. Camping, diving, canoeing (before kayaks were invented). I left here in '79 to serve my...

Glenn, we have an unused WM pump that should work if you can stay at JAX NAS marina, which is very nice. And take you to the commissary and BX . About a 7 hour one way drive John, I wouldn't ask or expect anyone to greet me with a 14 hour round-trip. But thanks! Glenn

Thanks for all the comments and info, everybody! Glenn

So Morningstar Marina, ok place because of distancing, can't go into the office. Got shower, lunch was grilled chicken salad. $12. Was ok, water wifi, pump out. Dock crew was nice enough. Got small discount being Boat US member. Lyft to Winn Dixie for cereal and beer, fruit, etc. Distancing is a...

I feel it nessesary to interrupt my trip to let c-brats and other boaters of the current slip rental policy at Brunswick Landing. I've seen such glowing reviews and recommendations by many others, but in my book, a disqualification. The rental policy is a 35 foot minimum on slips. So my 25' C...

Anchored at Frederica River by an old fort, National Park/Monument. There's a dinghy dock but I don't own one. Day started well, overcast, cool no wind. Able to really skip down some streams. A couple of river sounds, that caused reduced speed or be pounded. Let one container ship go past on the...

Thanks all for the great advice. Anchored New River just off Daufuski Island, SC. Crossed a couple of sounds today. Boy were they angry! They tossed my salad for me! Some slow going and Mae-C had a water baptism. Splashed and sprayed! Went to get a well deserved meal at Lucy Bells, but they were...

I have a Garmin Echomap 54 dv. It's kind of dated (2016) but I do have Aqua Map on a 9.6 IPad pro. I was able to find the icw continuing by checking all rivers & such till I found it labeled to the west. This morning, I plainly found it in the 2019 ICW cruising guide by bob 423. Too bad I missed...
