@saltyabandon.bsky.socialSalty Abandon update! ⛵🐈🐈
We've made it to Longboat Key, but an alternator charging issue means a detour to St. Pete before Tuxey, Mango, and I can continue our journey home.
@saltyabandon.bsky.social⛵⚓ Pelican Bay is almost empty! A peaceful stop with Tuxey & Mango before sailing north toward Venice, possibly on the outside route. 🌴🐈🐈
@saltyabandon.bsky.social⛵🔧 Time to check the oil! My new Yanmar engine is running clean with no leaks, no coolant overflowing, and no oil loss. What a relief! 🙌⚓
@saltyabandon.bsky.social☀️⛵ Heading north! Leaving Pink Shell Marina in Fort Myers Beach for Pelican Bay today. Watching the tides and currents as Salty Abandon continues toward home! ⚓🐈🐈
@saltyabandon.bsky.socialSalty Abandon is back online with AIS! ⛵📡 After a mysterious tracking gap, MarineTraffic is picking us up again at Pink Shell! ⚓🤔
@saltyabandon.bsky.social🌀🌴 Gulf Shores dodged a bullet. The wind was blowing pretty good last night, and the swaying trees kept me on edge.
🏡 No damage to the house. Just a messy yard. 🍃
🚗⛵ Tomorrow, it's back to Naples and Salty Abandon. 🌊🐈🐈
@saltyabandon.bsky.social🌀😂 Hurricane “Isaac Hayes” is heading our way!
That's Joey Ward's nickname for Hurricane Isaias because it's so hard to pronounce! 🤣
🌊 Met this Gulf Shores local character at The Hangout for his daily update. Some encouraging forecast changes, but staying vigilant! ❤️
@saltyabandon.bsky.social🌊🌀 From Marathon to the Everglades, Naples, and now Gulf Shores—all in one week! ⛵
Salty Abandon is safe in Naples. Tuxey, Mango, and I are home preparing for the hurricane. 🐈🐈❤️
⚡ My Honda 8,000 generator hasn't run in SIX YEARS! Will it start? Watch until the end! 👀
@saltyabandon.bsky.socialYep — shorter for X:
Salty Abandon is safe in Naples. ⛵🌴 Tuxey, Mango and I are driving home to Gulf Shores to secure the house before the storm. 🚗🐈🐈⛈️
@saltyabandon.bsky.socialWaking up on a sailboat in the Florida Keys 🌅 Coffee first ☕ and a little time to enjoy the marina sunrise before sailing to Marathon! ⛵ #SaltyAbandon #FloridaKeys #Sailing
@saltyabandon.bsky.socialLeaving North Miami while there’s a weather window to reach today’s destination! ⛵️🌤️ Let’s go, Salty Abandon! 🌊🐾
@saltyabandon.bsky.socialAnother stop closer to the Keys! ⛵🌴🌅
Salty Abandon is tucked in at Boynton Harbor Marina tonight. Live music, dinner at Two Georges, and another stop along the ICW as I keep making my way south toward the Florida Keys. 🎶🐟
@saltyabandon.bsky.socialGetting the Takacat ready for the Keys! ⛵
Got it inflated, the engine on, and the dinghy safely up on the davits in North Palm Beach just before the rain started. Perfect timing!
@saltyabandon.bsky.socialBack on Salty Abandon with Mango and Tuxey! ⛵😻
Almost everything is back aboard, and the kitty crew has already resumed supervising duties. 😂🐾
