I had big plans for sailing up to Canada. All that time! I could finally catch up some neglected school! Yeah, that didn’t really happen. What did happen was that we had a week of good sailing, then about three days headwinds. They weren’t all that comfortable. We weren’t seasick, but it’s amazing how your body just …

Many of you may already know that Florida is where Disney world is. Well, technically Orlando is where Disney world is. Anyway, we are anchored in Florida, at a place called Cocoa beach.
