Enjoy the holidays!

Starting the remodel on the condo!

We have been in Myrtle Beach now for a week with a very busy schedule. We are still waiting on one more estimate for the Yumsuch, which we should have by the end of the day. We demo the condo this past weekend and started planning our new layout.
We were very impressed with with the electric motor coming down the ICW. We thought it would take us 10 to 14 days to get to Myrtle Beach, it took 6 days. The last day was the longest since we had current against us up until the last two hours. Thankfully the current went into our favor the last two hours. If it hadn't it would of meant one more day of travel. The only reason it would of meant one more day of travel was we are demasted which means no running lights. We turned into Ospry Marina in the nick of time before nightfall. Everyone thought we were trying to concerve on our battery by not running the lights. Then we explained, it all made sense way we came in with no running lights.
As you are aware YUMSUCH is down for repairs and safely docked at Osprey Marina, so our blog will be done on our updates of the condo and travel out west until until she's repaired which we are looking at mid-March to end of April.
Bunks in the hallway are now GONE FOREVER!

Dolphins playing!

We have had some great cruising days going down the ICW. We are at Carolina Beach State Park mile marker 297.1, Myrtle Beach is at mile marker 375. Hopefully we will be there by Tuesday. I will admit there are is one advantage not having a mast, not waiting on bridges to open. Yumsuch just needs 10 to 11 ft to go under, so no wasted time waiting for a bridge to open. However I do miss the sailing, we have had the perfect conditions for sailing.
The most amazing thing is having the dolphins play with us. They were so darn cute! They would swim underwater looking at us like they were smiling at us. Simple amazing! They played with us for about an hour or so.
