May 13th & 14th, 2015 “Hi! I am calling to see if you have transient dockage for the night?” “Sure thing. Turn of the ICW when you see the red builiding and pull right on up to Mrs.Bernice.” Seems a little vague, but you can do a lot with a pair of bonoculars. […]
May 9 – 12, 2015 Well Lake Charles was a great stop, all the while there was “The Contraband Festival” going on. We did not attend, but enjoyed the live music. As we were shaking up Margarita’s and preparing our lunch, a small event boat came over to us. They shouted over, telling us there […]
May 6 – 9, 2015 Set our anchor 14:00 just off the Convention Center in Lake Charles, Louisiana. Quite a way off the GIWW, about 6 miles to the North. We came up here for provisions and there is a West Marine a 2 mile walk into town. Staying on anchor, which is free, is […]
May 2-5, 2015 Taylor Outfall Bayou was our first taste of “freedom” again. A feeling of relief and excitement all at the same time. We had made it out of the comfort zone of a marina, leaving yet another life we had started behind. As Michael set the hook I re-introduced myself to our trusty […]
With our slip lease coming to an end, we cut dock lines and set sail across Galveston Bay. Jumping off seems to be the hardest part of cruising for people to comprehend, a reason most never leave their marinas to travel. Claire and I try to look at it more in a sense that […]
April 26 – 28, 2015 A year has passed since we last moved our home. The longest we have stayed stationary since we purchased Splendid Isolation in January of 2011. Deciding together that this time was needed to continue our upgrades and plan our trip East, quickly we got to work. Although the boat requires […]

Here is just a wide array of images captured over the past month or two. We have had quite a lot going on since we’ve launched Splendid Isolation into the Gulf. Claire and Colleen enjoying beverages down in Surfside, TX our newest crewmember! Comida China pronounced: coh-mee-duh chee-nuh (Spanish for Chinese Food) surfside, tx marc […]
David and I have been working on the menu for Eculent. We plan to get all of our beef from 44Farms a few hours away in Cameron, TX. They only breed the best of the best Black Angus. We drove out and took a tour of their cattle ranch. We were impressed to say […]
