First Norther
A strong norther moved through, bringing shifting winds and gusts over 50 knots reported. We repositioned to a protected anchorage, prepared the boat, and rode out the conditions. The boys stood their first anchor watch, with Ben taking the first solo shift.

Southbound on the ICW for the Falcon 9 Launch
What started as a simple travel day turned into one of our most memorable yet. Dockside goodbyes, a bald eagle sighting, dolphins and manatees, and a front-row view of a Falcon 9 launch at anchor.
Where The Wild Still Lives
We made the 120nm run to Cumberland Island on a friend’s recommendation and found a place unlike anywhere else. Feral horses, untouched beaches, and a history that runs deeper than the dunes. Two quiet days here were the perfect reset before continuing south.
