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. Providing jobs for people...like me, and comes with an incredible 6 year warranty.

And for the boaters, yes, that's what this blog was supposed to be all about, Intervac Design makes a central vacuum system for home,boats and RV's, perfect for your land or sea Yacht.

Fourth of July

Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he'll spend all day in a boat drinking beer. We've had a great 4 th , hanging with Wes and little Wes. Fishing, riding in boats, loitering on the sandbar in Jackson Creek, grilling out, and every other fun thing that we could think of. Tomorrow we head to Tappahannock for a little while to stay at my Mom's place and then back to Deltaville to get serious about work. The weather has been great, about 10 degrees cooler than it ever was in South Carolina, and we barely even need the air conditioner up here at night. It's great to be in a sailing area also, unlike Florida where 3 out of 4 boats are power boats, here the marinas and anchorages are full of masts and when you look out at the Bay during the afternoon all you see are sails. Sailboats, sailboats everywhere! Nice protected waters all around, we're looking forward to being able to take some day sails soon. For those who read this a

Pine Island to Fernandina

Sunday was spent idling around the boat taking care of small projects, both of us moving a little slowly after a great time Saturday night with Fred and the acrobatic Rick from 'Freedom'. Pine Island has such a snug little anchorage it was a great place to hang out and avoid the Sunday boat traffic and we were able to scrape the waterline of 4 inch long grass and miniature barnacles that have accumulated already. Star made good on her promise of making my favorite dish after we crossed north of our starting point in St. Augustine. Lapin a la moutarde . For those like me who don't ' parlez vous ' very well, that's Rabbit in mustard sauce. Today we were underway at 7:15 heading north with a couple of stopping options available, but we were staying flexible and had no certain destination. We crossed the St. Johns River and transited the Sister's Creek area at low tide and were on a just barely rising tide for the notoriously shoaling Nassau Sound area. To say

The other side of Fernandina

Felix is now anchored in the lee of Cumberland Island on the very southern end of Georgia. For those who haven't been clicking on the links like the one in the first sentence, they will show a map of exactly where we are anchored in every blog page as we make our way up to the Chesapeake. It would have been easy to only see the ugly industrial side of Fernandina, like the pulp plant pictured above that b elches noxious fumes out over the anchorage, but fortunately we had our friends Herb and Laura to show us the much nicer, greener, friendlier side of Amelia Island. We had a great time, and it's been our best stop since we headed north from Palm Beach. Even the Chief got to go ashore with us for lunch and beers at the Green Turtle, which is one of those relaxed type of bars where they see you walk up with your dog and no one says anything, but they go get him a water bowl to sip from while he hangs out at our feet. After the ladies made a quick grocery store run, we all went
