Key West

We made it to Key West! We are getting provisions, doing repairs, and planning for our Bahamas crossing. I also challenged Cindy to a "campy" photo contest. She's winning, with a video of a floating tiki bar going two knots through the channel. Here's a few, so far, along with some random flower photos.
I'm not sure why GoogleMaps thinks we sailed down US 1 for a while.
"Uhm, yeah. I'll take the Mullet. To go.
Customers waiting for a table.
I winked back. Is that flirting?
We love this tree. It's like its own eco-system.
I think a parking ticket on the window would add.
Sponge Bob?
We picked up a few boat items...
Key West Social Club?
Their recruiting departments have different approaches.

Where is Miles? 2022 March and April

Hello, fellow map nerds. (My people!) We receive many comments from people who are interested in where we are and what we have done. I thought I'd like to put together a general path of our travels, with the hashtag #whereismiles. We may need to do some catching up here, but I wanted to start with the season we're in now. March finished off an amazing three months in the clear waters of the Bahamas. We headed down to the Dominican Republic, and then to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

Our friends on S/V Motu were just ahead of us, so we had a great idea of what to expect.  We fished, cooked in the sun oven, and split the shifts between Steve, Cindy, and I. The nights at sea were star-filled beauty, with no ambient light around us. ****...

Au revoir, Martinique. Hello, St Lucia

SV Miles had a great sail from Martinique to St Lucia. We saw twenty dolphins, four brown booby birds fishing for over an hour, and caught ten pounds of Sargasso weed on our fishing lure. No fish, though... Now we are enjoying Marigot Bay. Although the climb to the grocery store is about 300 feet gain in only a half-mile.  Of course, if you do the climb, you get to enjoy the view. See Miles? The road was a bit intimidating. When we got to the top, a lady in a food truck asked if we needed something cool to drink. Cindy thought she was a good salesperson. I thought she might call an ambulance.⛰️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️🥾 We had sailed the Caribbean some years ago on two of the Windjammer Barefoot fleet. Windjammer went out of business in 2007. Another business, Island Windjammers, connected to the fiercely loyal Windjammer fans.  Sagitta, waiting on a refit, is one of their tall-mast ships. ⛵⛵⛵ Spectacular sunsets are in...
