Goodbye Beaufort!

Always stand clear of the ladder Boss!- Capt. Ron



We left the dock this morning just after 9 so that we could catch the 9:30 opening of the Ladies Island bridge. Hot, hot, hot!! We raised the vertical awning for about an hour and watched it flap lazily before finally admitting to ourselves that there was just not enough wind. We tried to make some of our own, but 37 horses can't push this 'ol girl fast enough for that.



Our new crew members Herb and Laura got a taste of the idle life motoring up the ditch today. So sad, nothing exciting (read scary!) happened today and we were anchored by 3:30 here on the South Edisto River 30 miles north of Beaufort. The plan is for an early 5:45 departure tomorrow so that we can get past Charleston. Great place, but we've been in the 'city' too long now, and we want to stick to anchorages like this one, where we are the only boat and there is no house, town, or sign of life about us. Of course, we still have internet access, thank God!! :-)



The great thing about having crew aboard, you can put them to work!!!!



Star says I need a food shot, so here, proof that I do eat green stuff occasionally, a chicken caesar salad.

    The thing is the short end of the stick and on the end there's a brush

The Adventure always continues...

This is the Blog of the Sailing Vessel Felix. Felix has been sold, so I probably won't update the blog much more, just leave it here for posterity and start another one. This blog was primarily the record of our trip from North Lake Worth, Florida up to the Chesapeake Bay and our summer there before moving back to Florida. Because Blogger won't let me rearrange the posts into chronological order, it has to be this 'latest post first' format, here is the link to the beginning of the journey . You'll just have to select the posts by month and read in reverse order. I hope you enjoy, and I'll post up the new blog here whenever and wherever it begins. Thanks

Chief of the Boat

"Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in." Mark Twain We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults. Heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment. ~George Eliot Dogs' lives are too short. Their only fault, really. ~Agnes Sligh Turnbull I talk to him when I'm lonesome like; and I'm sure he understands. When he looks at me so attentively, and gently licks my hands; then he rubs his nose on my tailored clothes, but I never say naught thereat. For the good Lord knows I can buy more clothes, but never a friend like that. ~W. Dayton Wedgefarth Chief 12/12/95 - 5/8/2010 Rest in peace, little buddy

The Ultimate Garage Vacuum

"When your dreams turn to dust, vacuum." Sail Felix is really starting to branch out now. Not a lot of sailing going on these days, and since the blog has become more 'the life of Star and Andy' I'll use the chance to promote the GarageVac , since that's what I'm doing these days. I'm working to help promote the website, so if you missed clicking on that link, here it is again!! :-) The GarageVac is a powerful yet compact central vacuum system for your home, workshop, or garage. That's not just marketing bs, it really is a strong vacuum, and it comes with an 8' hose that stretches out to 40' to reach anywhere in the garage, into the home, and out of the garage into the driveway. It uses Hepa filters to keep the dust from coming back into the home, and because of the slim, low profile design (It's only 4" deep!) it can be flush mounted into a 2x4 studded wall. The best part? It's manufactured right here in Palm City, Florida. ...
