Welcome to all! Our favorite nuclear escapee refits another old sailboat, on his quest to escape both nuclear power and the rat race.
Russ is a submarine electrician and a naval officer, and a Senior Reactor Operator….but that is all now left behind.
S/V Tautog is a CSY 37B.
I enjoyed (very much) my time in Mexico, both visiting with my new friends, and with the shakedown and project work on the ship. But it is necessary for me to be in the United States for a short time, so we get "the show on the road".
Departure from Cancun was with a strong swell and a strong SE wind, and I followed the Loop Current for two days, was becalmed for one day, struggled in the Loop Current (where it becomes called "the Gulf Stream"), lost two sails, and worked my way north out of the strong current and heavy swell, into the tranquil waters west of Florida.
I hope you all enjoy! Please leave comments!
