The sun is setting over Biscayne Bay, as we look out from Hurricane Harbor. After working away , this was the part of the day which we most often enjoyed, watching the sun set and the birds and boaters settling in for the night.
The interior layout of our boat has been changing as we travel. Here you can see part of the starboard side, complete with fireplace, bin behind seat for supplies we want ready to hand while voyaging, food hammock and ventilation holes in the lockers and bulkheads.
Further aft on the starboard side: the table is tied back for traveling and has a storage area underneath it for larger pots and pans. It serves as our nav table while underway. Beside it the cooler has been set into the shelf; you can catch a glimpse of the potholders we had heightened to hold the pressure cooker. The curtains covering the outboard bin are meant to contain any implement trying to leave its normal place...
In the middle, the vee-berth is packed and ready to go, bicycles upright on either side and miscellaneous gear farther forward. The berth on the port side is made up for travel, with the lee cloth lying across it ready to be put up.
Leaving in the evening, the wind finally favourable - Key Biscayne is behind us as we motor out the channel and get ready to set our sails and wind vane on our way to Bermuda.

Thank you for a few pictures of Into The Blue. As a fellow owner of an Alberg 30 (spending the winter under plastic on the hard up in Maine) I enjoy hearing (and seeing) and any references to your boat and life aboard.
Also would you feel comfortable sharing a bit about how you came to taking this voyage, choosing an Alberg 30, and any thoughts about where you may go next?
Thanks for letting us "tag along".
All the best,
