June 22 – 30 2022 With much anticipation we eagerly set off for Massachusetts. The last leg before our goal cruising along the Maine coast for the rest of the summer. More on that later. We decided to skip Newport RI and visit on the way back when it is not the height of the […]
June 15 – 21 2022 Our first stop after leaving NYC was Stamford CT to visit Sandys’ friend. The marina as located by a business campus so I didn’t see much but Sandy did see some shopping. We stayed at an interesting marina called Crocker’s Boat Yard in New London CT. The marina was in […]
June 9 – 14 2022 We left Norfolk for an overnighter to Cape May NJ. Everything went amazingly to plan and arrived the next morning. The South Jersey Marina sounded better on the web site than in reality and charged a premium. We did have a chance to walk around and had a pretty good […]
May 10 – 30, 2022 I’m back in business. I had started to catch up on the travel BLOG’s when I ran into problems editing the web site. Everything seems to be working once more. Over the winter I had a few items fixed on the boat. The big one was replacing the steering pumps […]
November 5 – 9, 2021 Water coming into the wing engine was a major issue that needed to be resolved. The plan was to do overnight ocean passages to quickly get to Florida and I didn’t feel comfortable doing that without a backup engine (wing engine). I found an authorized service provider for the wing […]
August 1- November 4, 2021 After Cambridge there was a short wait in Annapolis then on to Harrington Harbor North marina to haul out the boat and do maintenance and repairs. The major item was getting the fuel leak repaired and a long list of other items. Of course, nothing ever, ever goes as planned […]
July 22-24, 2021 Cambridge was a surprise in many ways. The old historic homes and buildings were really cool. The visitors center was actually pretty interesting and the Harriet Tubman museum was not bad for being privately funded and free. The food was, once again, really good. Another surprise was “Thunder on the Choptank” was […]
July 20-21, 2021 After reading James Michener’s Chesapeake I was looking forward to seeing the communities on the Choptank River. I wasn’t disappointed. Oxford is a small town and we stayed at the marina not too far from the town center. We rented bikes and took in the historic homes and had some really good […]
July 15-19, 2021 . On the way to Baltimore there were some interesting things to see including a handsome light house or light. Some are not so pretty but functional. A “can’t miss” is the Francis Scott Key memorial buoy next to the bridge of the same named. We had a great stay in a […]
July 14, 2021 We, Sandy and I, decided to spend a night anchored out instead of a marina on the way to Baltimore. The large Magothy River bay had several nice places to anchored and we chose the one in front of the “glass house” described for this spot in Active Captain. It was a […]
