Join us on the SV HideAway as we explore Florida's West Coast seeking enlightenment on a course towards wisdom aboard a 23' Com-Pac sailboat.
While we love sailing, we also like to travel. See how we travel from a sailor's
prospective. Should be interesting....

Our Sailing Hideaway Blog and YouTube videos will remain active.
Join the HideAways as we tell, through blog stories and videos, what life really is like on a small, 23' Com Pac sailboat. We'll show the joys, thrills and chills of the sailing life, but also what it takes to maintain a boat, trailer and truck. You are just as likely to learn how not to do something correctly as to do it right. That's important too!
New! The Hideaways take to the road!

The Paint Wasters Society unlocks the art of paint squandering with sheer delight, free from the shackles of remorse or guilt. Trust me, a century down the line, nobody's going to bat an eyelash, so why not indulge in some paint splattering shenanigans today? Let's turn those pricey pigments into a canvas of laughter and joy.
One of the finer traditions here in the south is the annual Christmas Lighted Boat Parades. The season swings into action in mid December all along the Gulf Coast. Our favorite, of course, is sponsored by Boca Ciega Yacht Club on Boca Ciega Bay near Gulfport, FL. You do not have to be a member to enter the parade but it helps if you have a boat. To enter call the number on the chart below or follow this link
This year's parade is December 14, 2013 starting around 6 pm, touring first the Gulfport Marina then out into Boca Ciega Bay towards downtown, the beach and the Gulfport Pier then on to Town Shores, Pasadena and a long course across the bay to Isla del Sol. A party for participants follows at Boca Ciega Yacht Club.
Here's a video of last year's parade I shot while standing, and at one point falling, off a ladder- HO! HO! HO! OW!
