November 11 Isle of Palms to West of Watts

This morning it was very windy! It was chilly too, 12C. And look at this wind generator; whirling away and very silent. Great job helping us getting those bearings in, Ron and Gwen! We shoved off the dock at 07:20 and headed out. Here is our day in photos: A happy face to greet us […]

November 9 – 10 Dewees Creek to Isle of Palms Marina

November 9 Fun visit with Ron and Gwen This morning we were in no hurry leave the anchorage as we were only a short distance from the marina where we had reservations. Ron and Gwen would be arriving shortly after lunch. So looking forward to seeing them. I tidied up Persuasion and we talked to […]

November 5 Wrightsville Beach to Shallote Inlet

The anchorage this morning was as calm as glass. So different from the windy day yesterday; cloudy and overcast though. We pulled up anchor at 07:30 and motored past these homes. Other photos of what we see today: The ocean on our port side Two sailboats beached; most likely from Florence Docks […]

October 25- 27 Dismal Swamp Visitor Center

We stayed on the docks at the Visitor Center for 4 nights. The dock is free and when we registered, they said it is usually is limited to a two night stay. However, because there was bad weather coming, they said we could stay longer. Boats can raft together. And most of the boats that […]

October 23 Mill Creek to Hampton

Well it was not quite as chilly as yesterday morning; 10 degrees, but we did need the heater on. We were up early as we wanted to leave by sun up. It was still dark when we lifted anchor and the sun was just starting to rise. There was a CS 34 anchored in here. […]

October 19 – 21 Annapolis to Solomons Island

It was fairly cool morning when Mike raised the anchor at 08:00 The fog coming off the water made for some nice photos. The catamaran on the left of this photo is a live aboard and the harbormaster told us that they stay on that dock all winter. We motored out of Spa Creek, seeing […]

October 2-18 Spa Creek, Annapolis

It was really great to be anchored again here in Spa Creek, Annapolis. As I mentioned in another blog, the Harbormasters office here are really good to cruisers. You only have to register if you plan on anchoring in the Creek more than 3 days or if you wish to use a mooring ball.. You […]

Annapolis

Yes, we are still in Annapolis. Once the boat show was over and we did some boat maintenance, we were getting ready to head on towards Virginia. Then hurricane Michael was coming, so we decided it was best to stay here. We are glad we did. My what devastation in Florida, up along the coast […]

October 1 Ford Landing to Annapolis

It was still dark this morning when Mike weighed anchor at 06:30. It wasn’t long though before we saw a gorgeous sunrise. The Chesapeake was a bit rough today. Seemed that the tide and the wind were against each other. We noticed a lot of logs and large branches of trees in the water. We […]

September 30 Cape May, NJ to Ford Landing, MD

This morning we pulled anchor at 06:50 and headed out of the anchorage and out the inlet to the Delaware River. There was another beautiful sunrise this morning. We had just gone a little ways when Mike hollered “dolphins or porpoises”! I grabbed the camera but they are such fast rascals. I think you can […]
