Still Hanging Out in Panama City

I haven't posted for a while, been busy with college work. My wife and I are still living aboard our little Seawind 24. We are used to the small space now and don't really feel the need to move into any kind of house or apartment. The peace and quiet on the water is so nice! The weather has challenged us a bit over the past year, hurricane Irma blew the water out of the bay although we were really sheltered so no problem. The winter has been mild except for a couple of super cold days, well cold for Florida, 23 degrees F. Even had icicles hanging from the boat. We don't have any form of heating in the boat, just our sleeping bag and some hot water bottles.

We have a few "pets" now, a great white egret, a seagull, and a raccoon. The raccoon is mellow but the egret and seagull get us out of bed in the morning, one tap dancing on the roof and the other clicking his beak at the door.

We feed the fish and he catches them.

The college course I am doing included a photography class. I chose the boat for one of my assignments so below are some of those shots.








With my college course coming to an end so we may be sailing again soon.
