Sanitary Conditions

I've always found it very sanitary to be broke. - Orson Welles

The Sanitary is a Morehead City waterfront landmark, established in 1938 as a fish market and restaurant and still churning out a large menu of mostly fried seafood to tourists and locals alike. They also have a rough dock with no electric or water, but $10 a night to tie up. 14 years ago when we came through on Moria we tied up here for $5, and had decided on this trip that we would just anchor. We're not going to stop there this time, no way, no how, besides it was a Saturday afternoon and there won't be an open spot.
Well, the anchorage was jam packed and there just happened to be a nice hole at the dock for Felix, so we went ahead and tried to repeat the past and stopped once again at the Sanitary. It turned out to be a nice respite, we ate dinner ashore, Chief watered the fire hydrant, and we got to once again be the local tourist attraction. As soon as I'm done writing this we'll be taking off for Oriental, about 25 miles away and against the current.

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. ...
