Cool morning with light haze buring off fast. great nights sleep on brand new mattres!
Arrived last night to continuing rum drinks after long day at the Miami Boat Show, drooling over new cats I can't afford. Great experience in "feeling" sizes, configurations, and fit & finish on various manufacturers. Suz and I sailed with Mark last fall and met a kindred soul. We have enjoyed keeping in touch. Before long he will assist us in the big buy and adventures awaiting. Back to the boat show now to continue narrowing down our choices.
Adios, Ricardo

Gulf Stream.
Feb 17,2005......return trip, Bimini to Miami....we set sail/motor (the wind was still sleeping) at approx. 8:30 Am . Captain Mark put us on course to the Maimi shores under a clear blue sky at about 6.0 knots....should arrive about 4:30....so far so good with a "gentle to the novice sailor stomach' Atlantic. The auto pilot is now renamed either Mark,Tim, Mike or Lucina! We're trying to catch a fish or two, however all fisherman Tim has done so far is seaweed ......maybe vegetarian is the way to go for the trip back. Not many ships on the horizon.....according to Captain Mark, it's Thursday and a front is coming in....... but the Stray Cat sails on. Not a cloud in the sky......just the endless sea, touching the endless sky,...all against the gentle rhythm of the Beatles and Barry
Manilow. Our approach to the shores of miami have begun....back to the real world.....I think?! It's been a grand trip...a few cloud puffs here and there, calm waters. and all smiles from everyone. If you sailors out there happen to see a rowdy little boater with our fishing line, he did a fancy two-step behind us without so much as a backward glance and almost took our reel as well......he probably also took Tim's catch of the day as well. So much for courteous boaters...maybe he was to close to Miami to know any better?! What do you think/!?! New's FLASH.........last moment excitment....we just went over a crab pot and it got tangled in the propellar fortunately that engine was not running, however Captain Mark had to "dress up" in his wet suit and cut us loose....we're free and on the move again. As earlier mentioned it's been a terrific adventure....Captain Mark is the "Cat"s Meow" of the Stray Cat!!!!!!! For anyone out there looking for a special trip that you want to enjoy again and again......Captain Mark and the Stray Cat are THE WAY TO GO!!!!!!! I'm sorry to say our trip has come to a close.....it's one of the few times that you don't want the answer to "are we almost there" to be yes!!! Till next time on the Stray Cat....Happy Trails from Captain Mark, Lucinda, Mike and Tim

Coconut Grove Fl.
Feb. 16, 2005......Day two of "the Bimini trip".....just as anticipated the day broke with lazy morning clouds and the water waking to the glass-like clearness that you see in a postcard......coffee was the first order of the day....then the men began some maintiance duties, each one from Captain Mark, to Tim, and Mike disappearing into the engine room to make friends with the auto pilot that choose to take a little break for the trip to Bimini......after about 2 hours of bonding with the nuts and bolts of it, it still decided to let the crew be the pilot.....Capt. Mark will have that project to work on when we return to Miami......so Back to the lovely day ahead on the island. Tim, Mike, and I went ashore.....a laid- back culture....much of the town stores were closed for an afternoon nap. We checked out the Earnest Hemingway house and museum.....now also a tavern nlooked to be in his 40's and early 50's in most of the photos almost all of them with a Marlin fish by his side. The island itself is very narrow and we walked over the hill and are captivated by the amazing blue green waters of the Atlantic....gorgeous!!! The people all seem to be in their own world of rules and no rules.....no worries.....I wonder which shop sales that lifestyle ......the States could sure use a big dose of that potion!!!!! Back to the Stray Cat and Captain Mark, turned Captain Mechanic......Mike and I began the supper preparations....fresh dolphin from yesterday's catch....rice,more veggies and a Key lime pie finale, accompanied by excellant fellowship. We all retired about 11:30 with memories made of a delightful day in Bimini. Until tomorrow.......

Tuesday Feb. 15,2005 Cap. Mark put us on course to Bimini at approx. 2:30 for the 6 hour trip.....an exciting adventure to cross the "high seas"arriving our destination by the light of the stary sky. leaving miami...we had the wind on our nose at about 10 knots....we caught a dolpin about 8 mies out and it weighed about 25 lbs...at about mid gulf stream the winds grew to approx. 25 knots and the seas to "roughly!!!" SIX feet.....our sea legs begin to grow. Cap. Mark prepares a delightful meal of grilled chicken, veggies, and potatoes....However only the Captain and one guest, Tim, had the sailor stomach to enjoy the culinery skills due to the choppy waters. We put anchor in Bimini at 11:30, everyone crashed and slept great on CALM, CALM, CALM waters. YEah, head on pillow, looking forward to tomorrow and and the crystal blue waters and friendly smiles of Bimini. End of first day. Ship's guest, Lucinda Chisman
