The Clewie Clips

Now that we are living aboard our newest crew member would like to get involved in the reporting. She is a tender 10 months old but has had a wealth of experience traveling. Her reports will be known as The Clewie Clips.

Heeerr's Clewie:

Howdy everyone from Texas. I had to learn that howdy lingo. I am originally from Georgia. A southern peach indeed. Here is a picture of me when I was just a baby.


I have already flown in an airplane, traveled by car from Texas to Ohio and back and spent many weekends on the boat.

I was getting really worried when all the furniture started disappearing from my house. The humans weren't going to work either. I thought for sure we were going to be living under a bridge somewhere, what fun that would be. All kinds of critters to chase there. Here's another picture of me laying on my favorite perch. I am a little older in this picture.
Heck, I'm a lot older, not even recognizable from my baby picture.

Well, I just wanted to introduce myself. It is going to be really interesting to see if my humans can really pull off this cruising thing.

Officially Live Aboards

We are now officially boat live aboards. We moved our remaining items that we wanted on the boat to the boat today. Our house closing is tomorrow, Friday, at 2:00. We have scheduled to have the boat hauled out of the water on December 2nd. Since it is later in the year than we had originally planned to move the boat we are now thinking that we will move the boat to Bradenton Florida. It is a little further south, just south of Tampa Bay, and will be warmer. Also, the Gulf of Mexico can be a rough place to be this time of year and this will eliminate the crossing of the corner of Florida between Pensacola and Clear Water. From Bradenton we can take out time getting to Marathon in the Florida Keys. We will be able to use the Intracoastal Waterway part of the way to Marathon if we choose.
