The End of the Beginning or the Beginning of the End?

We have finally started the trip home. We spent two months at Ft. Myers and really enjoyed it. It took longer than expected to get the new bimini and enclosure finished and the weather continued to bring cold fronts and uncomfortable travel weather. The weather is much improved now but the desire to head further […]

Stuart Across Lake Okeechobee to Ft Myers

After returning to Vero Beach, we provisioned the boat and headed south for Stuart, Florida. Stuart is the starting point for crossing Florida across Lake Okeechobee to Ft. Myers on the west coast. There are locks that control the level of water in the lake to prevent flooding. The water in the lake is higher […]

Home for the Holidays

We really liked Vero Beach and decided to spend some time there. The weather was really warm and there was a lot to do. We enjoyed a “Happy Hour” for several hours with fellow SYC members Dave and Sue on their boat along with Chuck and Sandy from Summer Wind. Sandy took the picture! We […]

Titisville to Vero Beach

As we entered New Smyrna Beach on the way to Titisville, we were gifted with a rainbow. We arrived at Titisville and stayed at the Titisville Municipal Marina. There was a manatee in the slip next to us! We were met by Bill Dyber who spends the summers in Connecticut and participates in our […]

We’re in Florida!!

We arrived in Charleston, South Carolina and stayed two nights at the Charleston Maritime Center. We took a walking tour of the historic district but unfortunately, the camera battery was dead. The weather was not good and got worse. The wind and rain picked up the first night and blew right into the marina. We […]

Bellhaven, North Carolina to Charleston, South Carolina

We were invited to a Waterways Cruising Guide reception at the River Forest Manor house. It was sponsored by the town of Bellhaven and Waterways Guide. It was very nice and a good get together before departing the next day for Oriental. We had so much fun that we don’t have any pictures! We came […]

Welcome to North Carolina

We left Hampton, Virginia after a day at the Hampton Public Dock. Did some sightseeing, caught up on laundry, and had dinner and a couple of Double IPA’s at the Tap House Pub. I had a real South Carolina pulled pork sandwich with sliced tomatoes on a soft bun with a side of cole slaw!! […]

Ready for the Ditch

We left Solomons Island after a couple of cold days. We were there for the Taste of the Solomons Harvest where 20 restaurants provided sampler menus for a donation to their 4th of July fireworks fund. We enjoyed the pulled pork taco and chili nachos at the Ruddy Duck along with their local IPA. We […]

Southern Chesapeake

I am adding some pictures we took in New York as we traveled the East River from City Island to Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. It was a cloudy day but the World Trade Center is still impressive. Sandy was able to grab a shot of the Statute of Libery These fishermen were using a blue […]

Moving right along

We had a relatively nice voyage from Groton to Port Jefferson, about 50 Nautical miles. The wind pickedup to 15-20 kts in the afternoon and it was a little choppy. We were heading west and the current was going east making for a bumpy ride. Arrived at City Island Yacht Club at 1:00 on Thursday […]
