Rounding Key West

We're rounding Key West now. It's been a calm cruise so far but it's spicing up as we turn east south of the Keys.


Here's our POD (Pic Of the Day) so far...

Mother Nature was resting and gave us a quiet sunset at sea.

My view on watch...no moon or boats, just quiet seas and sky and radar.



Looking a bit bumpier for the second half of our trip, I'm happy we have Jim with us, and scopolamine patches 😉

And we are off!!

Finally! After a long hiatus, Blossom is on the move. We depart tomorrow with the worthy destination of Maine! There will be stops along the way...

If you want to stalk us - please do! - then there are a few ways:

Use our AIS. Always on, though the destination setting is likely to be vague. There are two major AIS tracking websites. Here are direct links to Blossom on both of them:

https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:452306/mmsi:367614140/imo:0/vessel:BLOSSOM

If you have a different method, our MMSI is 367614140

We also have a Spot Tracker which we try to keep active by giving it a shake now and again. Our latest tracks can be found here:

It's supposed to update every hour but can be a little"spotty". Heh.

Steph has declared an intent to post a pic of the day here (and/or on Facebook) so to restart the tradition:

Last minute provisioning.


We're performing final boat checks and making ship-shape before heading out first thing tomorrow!
