Dessert First is in the water and we will be there in about 20 mins. We'll give you an "occupancy report" then but I can't imagine it being a problem.

Sorry you won't be there Jim. You're going to miss a good one! We are in downtown Paisley (30 mins from Holly Bluff). The rain is GONE, the sky is blue, the sun is shining and it's going to be a gorgeous weekend!

Just checked the weather as it sure doesn't look good today! But according the the report (see below), all of this will blow over and by Friday it should be gorgeous. Low 50's over night and 70's during the day. In other words, PERFECT. We are packing and getting excited! Looking forward...

Guaranteed you will see manatees on this CBGT! And lots of alligators, great blue herons, egrets and all kinds of Florida critters. Here is a mom and babe we saw at Blue Springs (about 4 miles south of Hontoon Island). Bring your bathing suit as you can swim there: For more photos of our...

Completely agree. Hope he went with a full tank because the last I heard there was a gasoline shortage in heaven. :)

Hope no one wants to be buried at the helm of their beloved C-Dory!! http://news.sky.com/story/1204668/biker-buried-astride-beloved-harley-davidson

We haven't been very good at posting here to keep everyone up to date on our trip. But it has been amazing and we will try to get caught up with more details when we get home... which may be later today as we spent last night at the Franklin Locks Army Corp of Engineers campground/marina...

Tom, I absolutely loved reading the account of your amazing Everglades kayaking trip. It would sound really fun if only I could get past the 31 mile paddling day, continually fighting the tides and the strong headwinds, the 3 foot waves breaking over the deck, the heavy dew, the rain, waking...

Jim, That's the one I really want. It's called the Phantom 2 VISION. $1199 vs. $679 for the one without the camera that you use with your Go-Pro. The main reason I think the Vision would be better is because I don't already own a Go-Pro and If I did, you can't use the wi-fi feature with...

Oh, Oh OH!! Thank you Sunbeam!! I was just reading that B & H Photo is an authorized dealer for what I want Santa to bring ME: A new Go-Pro and a DJI Phantom 2 to fly it around. And this will work out so well because Casey....oops...I mean SANTA...can use the $50 gift card from his...

Behind again on posting details about this trip. Oh, well. Life is relaxed in the keys! The weather continues to be fabulous. Gorgeous. Amazing. Perfect. Casey did this trip in 2010 and it was bitterly cold. I'm so happy its been warm this time around. It may change but so far, we've...

I finally got some photos posted thanks to an anonymous donor of wi-fi from our anchorage spot. To see some more, click here: http://caseyandmary.smugmug.com/South-Florida-Loop/ To see all of our trip photos, click here: http://caseyandmary.smugmug.com

We haven't updated lately. I think we are both waiting for wi-fi so we would have our keyboards but that doesn't look like it will be happening soon for a few more days. Free wi-fi doesn't seem to exist in the keys. At least not near the water with easy access. So here is an update. Sorry...

Sounds great! That should work nicely into our plans as we are working our way south now and will be coming back up to the Marathon area before heading up toward Flamingo. So far the weather couldn't be nicer. It was windy the past two nights which has created some chop but temperature-wise...

Thanks for the photo! But no time to chat now. We are arriving at John Pennecamp and as soon as we slather on a BUNCH of sunscreen, we're going snorkeling! Have a great time with that snow shovel and ice scraper!

Wow. Has it been a whole week? What day is it anyway? (Retirement is wonderful!) Hard to believe ...but yep, Casey is right ... tonight is the 7th warm and wonderful night on our South Florida Loop. Have I mentioned lately that I love LOVE warm weather (and warm weather boating)!! Don't...

Well, Casey and I are back on the boat. Yes, ....again. By the end of the year, we will have spent a total of 8 months on this "cute little" boat! We launched today at Glades RV near Moore Haven and will spend the next 5 to 6 weeks doing the South Florida loop....clockwise. From here, we will...

I LOVE it!!! Awesome!

We have a "Boat Buckle" tie-down. Here are some photos of how it needs to be threaded to work properly: http://caseyandmary.smugmug.com/Boat-Buckle Mary&Casey

Mike, I volunteered but since my back has been giving me some trouble, Casey insisted that he be the one to hitch-hike over to Astor to get the truck/trailer. I wish I had taken a photo of him with his cute "Astor (please!)" sign. Finding ourselves without transportation on land during...
