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 […]
July 6 – 13, 2021 What a terrific area to visit. I stayed at the South Annapolis Yacht Centre in Eastport which is across Spa Creek from Annapolis. Annapolis has a great historical downtown area, US Naval Academy and lots of great places to eat. Sandy, who was visiting, and I hit them all and […]
July 1 – 5, 2021 My original plan was to leave Urbanna on Thursday and spend the night anchored in Ingram Bay. I was worried about finding a good spot to anchor around Solomons Island so I skipped Ingram Bay and went directly to Solomons Island. I found a great spot to anchor at the […]
June 27-29, 2021 I was looking forward to Urbanna VA and wasn’t disappointed. It is a great little town and everyone was super friendly. I ended up staying an extra day and skipping my planned visit to Kilmarnock VA. I took the “Museum In The Streets” tour where they had point-of-interest signs spread around town. […]
June 26 2021 After a restful day on the East River it was time to move on. Next stop was Fishing Bay at the mouth of the Piankatank River. A small rain storm escorted me into Fishing Bay making everything nice and muggy. At least it was a cool muggy. When I entered the bay […]
