Goin' South....OneEighty: June 2011

About this blog. An adventure of OneEighty

This blog segment is intended to document the adventures of OneEighty, a 42 foot, 23,000 lb. ketch as she travels South from Sandusky, Ohio, through Canada, the Great Lakes, the Eire Canal, the Hudson River, Delaware Bay, the Chesapeake Bay, down the Atlantic U.S. coast, the Keys, Bahamas, Tortuga s and then up the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf Shores Alabama (2010-2012). It also includes daysailing adventures in and around the Gulf coast (2014), as well as cruises back to the Keys (2015) and into the Bahamas to Andros and down to Georgetown, Exumas (2013) and a trip to Cuba and back across the Gulf in 2016. In 2017 we stayed in Mobile Bay and the Northern Gulf, and won First place in the April 2017 Dauphin Island Race.

This is a story of two brothers, Quinn and Charlie Stewart, who took a dream and a boat and sailed them both. Their wonderful wives join them on the adventure and have sailed with them for many of the legs. Surely, when they stay home, they pray for us while we are gone. Either way, they are the wind beneath our wings. Our wives remind us of an old Celtic song that goes: "Life is an ocean, Love is a boat. In troubled waters, it keeps us afloat".
