Here are some pics from our cruises last summer (2021). Great times and looking forward to more this summer.  Fair winds! S&S

So I'll be making a few posts on what to do while onboard Daedalus just in case you come cruising with us.  One of the fist things many people new to boating ask is "How do you use the bathroom?" After explaining that it's called "the head", we then walk them through it. Most people have never used a marine head. Daedalus has two heads. One is a manual-pump head and the other is electric. We have separate instructions for both also posted right in front of you as you, um, sit.  If you come aboard we'll show you in person how to use them. But here is the reading material if you wish to study!

If I retired now we'd be in some pretty serious financial straits.  In mid-August 2020, we were sitting on our deck having a cocktail and Shan said, "Well here's a crazy idea... Let'...

We started this blog to log all our adventures aboard our 2005 Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 49, s/v Daedalus!  To our friends and family, we hope you can join us. As in, we literally hope you can join us... on the boat... not just on this blog. Although following along with this blog is fine too.  Fair seas! S&S
