C'est la Vie is a 1966 Charlie Morgan 34.

Her home port is Everglades City, FL. Our typical cruising area is Southwest Florida, the Florida Keys, the Southeastern Atlantic Seaboard, and the Bahamas. We are C'est la Vie's third owners and purchased her in 2005. We continue to maintain and update this classic vessel.

Contrast

Yesterday after departing Ft. Pierce late in the morning we covered 37NM in the ICW under sail.  The winds were gusty, but consistantly out of the west.  The wind gusts and subtle channel deviations required constant attention on the sheets, but never forced a tack the entire day.

Today's north winds have prohibited us from raising any cloth.  We are now nearly seven hours into what will likely be a full day of motoring windward.  What a contrast.

The NASA vertical assemble building and some type of rocket out on it's launch pad are currently visible to our east.
