So winds gusts last night of 30 knots, but we warm and cozy in our bunks. Wake up this morning to me smelling something burning. So I startle Bill awake and we figured out it was from the restaurant. Baylor our waitress comes over a little while later and asks if we want mimosas andContinue reading “March 23, 2020”

Cellphone hotspot is working well. Last night, after our wonderful dinner, we watched Aladdin on Disney+ on our tablet with no slow downs. Fun movie for both adults & kids. Nice night sleeping with boat rocking all night. #theboatinglifewithdisney This morning for breakfast, we had mimosas, oysters, goat cheese and Belgium waffles from Crazy Crab-Continue reading “March 22, 2020”

We woke up to a beautiful warm day. Spent the day doing some boat chores, another long walk exploring the town and rowing around in our new dinghy. We took 1 of our wine bottles and put a note in it, interested in seeing where it ends up. Some boat humor for the day –Continue reading “March 19th”

It has been a badly needed very calm day. We moved the boat over to Reedsville Marina/Crazy Crab and tied up.

It is very deserted and quiet hereContinue reading “March 18th – Evening”

Not really a great spot but we hoped good enough to make it thru the night. We are exhausted of the long day and the stress of night-time navigating. ButContinue reading “March 17th – 9pm”

So the sun has set and we are entering the Great Wicomico River channel. As we are moving towards the red buoy, I have the binoculars looking for any problems in front of us. I see some pilings sticking up. I say to Bill I think I see a fish net across the channel. HeContinue reading “March 17th – after 6pm”

Things start to go south from here. We realized that we were not going to make Reedsville before Sunset. So we would be coming into the Great Wicomico River in the dark. This is not an ideal situation and not for the faint of heart. But there is no place to stop before then. SoContinue reading “March 17th – 6 pm”
