Taking Sea Hawk Home

Taking Sea Hawk Home

More on our explorations, coming soon……  That was the last you heard from Sea Hawk Journeys back in March of 2018.  We are back in Florida and ready to take Sea Hawk home to Duluth.  What’s happened in the interim?  We put the boat on the hard in April, 2018 and almost filled a U Haul with boat stuff, but left a case of Glenfiddish on board, lol.  We arrived home one day after a major blizzard, that was quite a reality check!  We didn’t have winter gear with us but toughed it out until we got home and weathered the rest of a northern MN winter.  Summer did come and we did a lot of chores, gardening, cleaning up leftover storm damage from our 2016 tornado event and had fun. 

Now I’ll try and wrap up our Bahamas trip from my journal.  

The best part of a shoal draft keel is getting close enough to swim to the beach.  This is the middle cruiser beach at Big Major Cay and there must have been 50+  boats behind us. 

We left Staniel Cay the end of March, arriving in Fort Pierce early the morning of April 2.  We stayed at the city marina for about a week enjoying the farmers market and music by the marina.  The Sea Hawk was left on the hard at Indiantown Marina and we headed home by land. 

March 29, 2019

Left Indiantown Marina and headed east on the St. Lucie Canal.  It felt just like yesterday we stepped off the boat.  Back to boat life and it feels great!  We plan to sail the boat home by traveling up the east coast. 

While at the dock hanking our main sail on an artist happened to be there painting our boat.  We purchased the painting and now have a nice painting of the Sea Hawk.  Here it is propped up for the camera so it's a little skewed.
