As we pulled away from the Solomons area to make our way to Reedville, VA, it was overcast and a little foggy. We carefully made our way back out into the Patuxent River and under the bridge as we headed back towards the Chesapeake. It was very still and...
Exploring More of the Chesapeake
While we loved our time in Annapolis hanging on the Navy mooring ball in Weems Creek, eventually it was time to move on. Several people had told us that St. Michaels was a cute little town which we should visit if we had the chance, so it was there...
Annapolis Sail Boat Show
We’d been talking about going to the United States Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Maryland for several years, but had never made it out there. Instead, each winter we would drive (several times in blinding snowstorms!) to Chicago for the Strictly Sail Show, which up until this year had been...
Why I Secretly Love Fall
Shhh….don’t tell anyone, but I secretly LOVE fall! I mean summer will always be my first love, but there’s just something about fall. I don’t know if it’s the coolish/warmish days where you need a sweatshirt, but can still get by wearing shorts (for the record…I hate long pants!),...
Sailboats, Midshipmen and Blue Crabs, Oh My!
Wow! I have never seen so many sailboats in one place in my life. As we reached Annapolis, where we planned on attending the upcoming in water boat show, the sailboat traffic was crazy! There were boats sailing EVERYWHERE! The Navy sailboats were out with their beautiful spinnakers flying,...
Hiding from Joaquin
We would have loved to have had some time to check out Cape May, but we were now racing to hide from hurricane Joaquin, so Jim got busy checking tide tables and currents. We had two issues to contend with. First of all, we were looking for low tide...
We Survived the Darkness!
Time to switch gears…we went from a state of slight depression thinking we were going to be stuck for another week, to one of anxious trepidation about the overnight trip we had just decided we were embarking on in an hour! So, we got our butts in gear readying...
Hanging on the Hook in Sandy Hook
When we last left you, we were hanging out in New York City, which now seems like eons ago! In reality, it was three weeks ago that we left the rough waters of the 79th Street Boat Basin and made a quick trip to Sandy Hook in New Jersey...
NYC in 7:27 Minutes!
Wow…New York City really is something else! We spent a total of eight nights there tied to a mooring ball in the 79th Street Boat Basin and didn’t even begin to scratch the surface of everything there is to do and see in The Big Apple! The highlight of...
Hudson River Highlights
So, just what have we been up to since we had the mast put back up in early September anyhow? Well, for starters, we made the rest of the trip down the Hudson in three hops. We went from Catskill, where we had the mast stepped, to Wappingers Falls...
