Hi Colebob, We have a 22' Cruiser (Comfy Dory) with a 75 hp Honda. We are located on the ICW on Merritt Island which is about 100 or so miles north of you. We have found the ICW to be a wonderful place for cruising/camping. There are literally dozens of "Spoils Islands" that were created...

Marvin, Sounds like you are prepared with your generator system. I have a 5KW unit that I have to roll up to the house and then put a cover over it and run a 4 way box through a cat door. Basic I know, but I can power up the essentials. I'm sure that you wish that you still had an extra 2'...

11:30 AM: Winds blowing from the SW at 35 mph sustained with gusts to 45 mph. It rained off and on all through last night with the rain coming in horizontal sheets at times from the west directly at our seawall. Moving in from the SW, the waves do not create so much of a backwash wave, but...

9:00 PM Update for Fay Winds have been steady all day from the west @ 20+mph with gusts to 30+ after the eye passed this morning. Prior to that, when I woke up this morning the wind was coming out of the south as the circulation had passed to the east along the coast in the early hours of the...

Good Morning Brats, Well, we survived the night! Hurricane Fay (now called the "Jokester" by the local weather forcasters) is still with us. Reports this morning have the center of rotation over Cape Canaveral which is about 5 miles to the north of us and about 3 miles east of us. Sustained...

C-Brats, I thought you might want to get a first hand report from the path of Tropical Storm Fay. We live on Merritt Is., in Brevard County, FL. Our home is on the west side of M.I. 1 mile south of the SR 520 bridge from Cocoa to M.I. The west end of our house looks out on the ICW at MM 77...

Charlie, Glad to see another Merritt Islander on the site. Hope you can find a C-Dory soon. We live on the Indian River across from Mile Marker 77. We have a 22' Cruiser that we purchased last summer from another Islander and have been using it quite a bit with our longest trip so far being...

Larry and Jo, If you all are starting from the Jax area, there are some really great suggestions from the Brats above. Toby and I completed an 11 day trip in May beginning on Lake Harney west of Mims Florida. We traveled north to Jax, up the ICW to Jekyll Island and then back south on the ICW...

Marvin, We're going to make another loop for 8 days between Christmas and New Year's. We'll make sure to stop by and say hello and maybe hoist a brew. I could make that trip a 100 times and not get tired of it. The St. John's always has something new to offer. We have a long history on that...

Marvin, I finally was able to upload the picture we had of you on the end of your dock thanks to the help of Tyboo Mike. I also added some more pictures of the trip. You know, there are some really great people here in the C-Brats and I have enjoyed getting to know some of them if only...
