One of favorite spots on the east coast is a little bight surrounded by sand dunes just south of Cape Hatteras. After Becca was picked up by her parents, we headed out to Lookout Bight to stage for heading offshore down the coast. The Bight is usually calm, filled with dolphins (and one time a… Continue reading Lookout Bight NC

                We were so blessed to have our oldest granddaughter, Becca, onboard with us for the month of October! We sailed, played games, ate lots of yummy food, learned knot tying, boat jargon, how to tell time with a ships bell clock, listened to music, had math and… Continue reading Snap shots from October

We were still enjoying the islands and friends, but we were missing family even more. So when a rare multi day weather window opened up we took advantage of the opportunity. We left the Abacos via Man o War cut and went outside to the top of the Bahamas and then west over to the… Continue reading Back to the US

We were blessed to attend the Easter Sunrise service on Man o War Cay.  Three hundred people live on the island with 3 churches. And about 70 people on the beach an hour before sunrise singing hyams and reading Scripture. The heavens truly are His handiwork. Daylight starting to light up the scene.  The service was… Continue reading Happy Easter

Despite all the devastation, the good folks of St Mary’s GA managed to pull off another wonderful Thanksgiving day celebration. 38 boats anchored in the harbor and a total of 150 people gathered for the feast. While the food took center stage in the lobby, the real draw is the people. We renewed old friendships… Continue reading Cumberland Island

We really like the Dismal Swamp route. Unfortunately, that’s not an option this year. The swamp is still undergoing cleanup and repair, mostly dredging, since hurricane Matthew last year. So down the Virginia cut route we go! Leaving Top Rack marina at 0700 gets you to the Great Bridge lock at 0730 and then the… Continue reading VA cut to Broad Creek

Or simply Nancock to locals. The name may mean “foggy place” but this week it meant windy, rainy, drizzly place with good wifi and good places to eat. So we stayed a few days and avoided the bumpy Bay and enjoyed some eastern shore Virginia hospitality.   Several small churches in town. We went to… Continue reading Onancock

We finally made it! For years we’ve been talking about visiting Tangier Island. We’ve read the reviews, heard the stories and really wanted to experience it before time and erosion took away the opportunity. Most people seem to get to Tangier by ferry from Crisfield, Onancock or Reedville. But we wanted to go in our own boat. That… Continue reading Tangier Island

Ahh – that old saying – “the definition of cruising is fixing your boat in exotic ports.” We’ve come to believe that Solomons doesn’t really like us. Three of the four times we’ve been here, we’ve had to work on our boat here. This time it’s the voltage regulator. Talking with Balmar technical support makes… Continue reading Exotic ports

Underway for our 38th Anniversary. Headed to Solomons then …   But if not…
