We\u2019ve been doing a local mini-cruise, occasioned by Spring break for our Granddaughter Emma and her friend from college Julia Stevens. It brought back just how much fun it is messing about in boats.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Cochise<\/em> has been anchored in Key Biscayne. Not what you would call an exotic location.<\/p>\n

\"6515843<\/p>\n

Yet there is plenty of nature mixed in with the high-rise condos.<\/p>\n

Between waterskiing, dinghy driving lessons, and general chilling, we\u2019ve been flying through the project list.<\/p>\n

The forepeak and workshop are properly organized for the first time, and the tools are semi-neat. We\u2019ve modified the dinghy handling system for the umpteenth time and are pretty sure this is the final iteration.<\/p>\n

Of course a close eye is being kept on the Arizona Wildcats and their progress into March Madness.<\/p>\n

The Arizona battle flag flies on game day and all aboard are appropriately attired.<\/p>\n

The galley has been humming and a culinary invention of major merit has been accomplished. Details to follow when next a camera is present at the appropriate time .<\/p>\n

The moon is nearly full, and the night scene at anchor is lovely.<\/p>\n

\"DSC4689\"<\/p>\n

There are also afternoon thunderstorms to keep us on our toes.<\/p>\n

\"DSC1461\"<\/p>\n

March Madness starts in earnest this week.<\/p>\n

\"_DSC1435\"<\/p>\n

During the week we share the anchorage with a variety of cruisers. Weekends is more power oriented.<\/p>\n

\"_DSC1494-2\"<\/p>\n

The nearby waterways have dockage on one side.<\/p>\n

\"_63_7769\"<\/p>\n

And wildlife on the other.<\/p>\n

We will be watching the Arizona Wildcats the next few weeks. And in between games we will continue to mess around aboard Cochise<\/em> and reacquaint ourselves with the cruising lifestyle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
