An oldie but goodie. #Luna loves #goldenhour as much as I do. This was #BiscayneBay #Miami, pre Irma. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByjFIB5ABTP/?igshid=m0dhypd6lw2m

Black #skies over #CumberlandIsland GA cut short my sail today. Anchored up a little river & put out the big #Mantus. Think I’m gonna need it.

#beautiful #sunset & great capture on the way home after a long day. Have to find affordable chain & another anchor & I’ll be on my way. (at Savannah, Georgia)

#silly. Tell #Luna that you “haveta make the bed” & this is her usual reaction. Well, it’s mine too, but only after I make the bed. #precocious.

Large dingy #forsale. Secure(d) (to the dock), holds out the water (look at that! It didn’t sink), comes with two paddles (mismatched & waterlogged, but still!), lots of TLC (will be needed). Don’t @ me! (at Georgetown, South Carolina)

Signs of #Spring. I am getting #sailing #fever. It’s raining today, so it’s not going as fast as I’d like.

Well, THAT lasted all of 10 seconds! Sal’right. It makes her happy & I have hidden a huge bone. (Should last about 10 minuets.) The boat is over provisioned. 12v & 110 going strong without problems, fans, lights & sailing gear has been “shook out” & the motor has had alotta maintenance. Zinc (correct one, hopefully the #3rdtimesacharm) coming tomorrow. Sailing away from #georgetownsc in a few & so overwhelmingly #bittersweet. I wouldn’t have all of this without the help & generosity of the local #BoatUS #captain & his faithful crew. They’ve been exceedingly generous with their time, expertise & space. If you ever need anything in #Georgetown, make sure you seek them out. It’s more than their jobs, it’s a way of life. #refreshing to find a small town that has still retained its charm. I will leave a part of my heart here (but I will not be leaving the #pooch). (at Georgetown, South Carolina)

All sorts of hidden gems around here. Beauty to be found at every turn. (at Georgetown, South Carolina)

Sights & Sounds out on the water. #oceanside in the #floridakeys. #saltlife #watersports #sailing

Creature from the Deep. See this coming at ya & you get out of the water #ASAP. #Shark! I actually had grounded the boat trying to get away from her. #FloridaKeys

This #waterspout was #photographed off of #alligatorreef in the #FloridaKeys a few years ago. One of a few spectacular #weather events I got to witness. #flwx #stormhour #cloudsandsky

[sailoraileen-blog]

Look at these awesome #clouds. Anyone know what you would call these? #wx #weather #StormHour #scClouds #sailorgirl #iphonephotograpy #iPhone6s (at Georgetown, South Carolina)

Apparently my new #boyfriend follows me. Keeps an eye on where I’ll be later in the day. He’s quite a early riser & is quite loud. #Rooster #southcarolina #georgetown (at Georgetown, South Carolina)

#UpTheMast of the new-to-me 1970 28.8 Columbia, S/V #Monarch. She’s coming along very nicely. It’s expensive but she has solid bones to begin with- again. (at Georgetown, South Carolina)

The #rooster follows me sometimes. I guess checking out the #chick. He’s adorable. He “talks” to another one nearby & that one sometimes comes to visit. I may not have the sun as my wake up call these days, but rest assured, I still have an alarm clock!
