Still Floating

“Great occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they only unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or weak; and at last some crisis shows us what we’ve become.” - Brooke Foss Wescott




This quote doesn't really have anything to do with the post, but I read it this morning and liked it. I know, I know,.... I haven't updated the blog in a while. We've just been real busy, and haven't travelled anywhere and this was originally a travel blog. That's my brother Mike holding up a double hookup of Croaker, which we slayed last weekend fishing around Gwynn's Island. We've been catching plenty of little croaker, but not much else.
If only the water were a little more clear --------------> <*)))><
We've been hard at it, trying to find steady work to keep this champagne lifestyle running on our beer budget. Times are tough everywhere, and Deltaville isn't exactly a metropolis, but it's a great little place and we've got friends here and family nearby. As usual, our plans are written in jello(we're nothing if not flexible :-) and we're waiting to see how things shake out before we commit to any departure date. Next week I'm off to Florida to fetch the car, and I'll try to take some pictures and post a blog about that little travel adventure!

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. ...
