St. Lucie River/IRL at Low Tide during 2026 Drought
SLR/IRL looking north. Ed Lippisch, 3-26-26 These aerial photographs of the confluence of the St. Lucie and Indian River Lagoon were taken on March 26, 2026 by my husband, Ed Lippisch. I wanted to share on by blog post to document what the water looks like during low tide and during a drought. The time was around 11:45; approximately an hour after the lowest of low tide. There has been more rain…

Finito and the One Big Beautiful Bay
Belhaven, NC waiting for the nor’easter… Satellite compilation of Chesapeake Bay. https://www.usgs.gov/media/images/landsat-mosaic-chesapeake-bay The winds have finally calmed, the water has lost its anger, and from horizon to sky are long silver clouds that appear to be stuck in place. Captain Ed and I have been docked at Grand Manor Marina in Belhaven, North Carolina for the past six…
Getting there is half the fun, Chesapeake!
Wide beaches of Jekyll Island, GA. Getting to Chesapeake Bay has turned out to take a bit longer than I anticipated, but that’s OK. It all about the journey. We are having a great time. We left Stuart, Florida on August 8, 2025 and today we are on our way to Coinjock, North Carolina. We have traveled about 800 miles and have just over 100 more to arrive at our destination, Chesapeake Bay. Last…

Chesapeake or bust!
Finito — Chesapeake or bust! The water has called once again and Ed and I are underway. This time our trawler journey will be to Chesapeake Bay. We have new puppy, Diesel, as we lost our beloved Belgium Shepard, Luna, last year while we were on America’s Great Loop. Okee, our beautiful 17 pound cat, will be making the trip too. After our Great Loop adventure it was wonderful to return to Stuart,…
Andres Duany and Others who "Built this City" return to Stuart
Andreas Duany is the founder of New Urbanism and Seaside, FL as well as the father of today’s Stuart. In the 1970s/80s Downtown Stuart was almost leveled, but Duany inspired otherwise. He will return to Stuart on May 30th, 2025. I invite everyone to attend what will be an incredible conclusion of Historic Preservation Month this Friday, May 30th, 5-8pm at the Flagler Center in Downtown Stuart.…

The Golden Gate Building, 100 years and still standing!
Golden Gate Building, 3225 Dixie Highway, Stuart, FL 34997 May is Historic Preservation Month and 2025 is Martin County’s Centennial! For my entire life has stood “that building.” A building that somehow looks so out of place, like it’s going to fall into the road, the Golden Gate Building. When I was a kid growing up in Stuart, it was always in disrepair, paint peeling, balcony falling,…
The Boat of Life
Since returning home from America’s Great Loop three weeks ago, life has quickly returned to normal. The champagne is stored. Ed and I have caught up with friends and family; I feel more impatient; and have spent a great portion of time waiting for service people to repair the air-conditioner, the ice-maker, and plumbing in our house. None is yet in order. And really, that’s OK, as while on our…
Again? America's Great Loop!
Burgees 1 & 2 America’s Great Loop Burgee: 1. a swallow-tailed flag used especially by ships for signals or identification. 2. the usually triangular identifying flag of a yacht club. There are three Great Loop burgees awarded to Loopers by the American Great Loop Cruisers’ Association: White, for the newbies, doing the Loop for the first time; Gold for completing the Great Loop twice; and…
America's Great Loop is coming to an end
In Pensacola, Ed and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary! America’s Great Loop is coming to an end and it has been no “bed of roses.” It is work. Fun work, leaving one grounded. Ed and I know this has been the trip of a lifetime! Tomorrow a window of “good” weather has opened and Finito will make a 24 hour trip across the Gulf of Mexico/America from Port St. Joe to Tarpon Springs. Seas…
The Cold and the Warmth of Mobile Bay
Lying on the beach Fort Morgan, Alabama. Sunning on the beaches of Fort Morgan, I feel my body coming back to life. Oil tankers slowly pass by as migratory birds dance along the water’s edge. Life is good today in Alabama. Tanker, Mobile Bay ~Recently my friend, and Okee’s vet, Dr. Cristina Maldonado, taught me a new vocabulary word: “Apricity…” the warmth of the sun in winter. Such a wonderful…
