More About Our Visit with Ted and Sarah

That visit with Ted and Sarah on the Krogen Manatee named Manatee was indeed interesting. For one thing, this couple  have lived on this boat for a long time. They have traveled to destinations like St. Kitts, the Dominican Republic and Cuba. This little boat has been sunk, run aground and crashed into many things. I can't even recall all of the "parts" Ted said had been replaced. Now, Ted also added that he has done almost all of the repair work on her, himself.
Sarah has kept meticulous daily records when they travel. She shared with me one of her calendars where she kept track of destinations, marina names, daily distance traveled, amount of fuel used and other bits of information. She can go back into past years' records with great ease and find information to help them prepare for this year's travel.
Ted and Sarah shared information about their background, their decision makng process about where they travel, their observations about boating, the loop and safety issues. Ted is a "rescuer" of sorts. He has often used either the Manatee or the dinghy to push or pull other folks to safety or to help them on their way.
Manatee and her owners are truly unique. Here are a few more pictures.
