Wow – what a day! Sailing adventures not for the faint of heart. We left around 8am (a little later than plan due to fog) and planned to buddy sail with our Texas guys on the SVForPlay. We had 3 swing/lift bridges in first 15 miles to get thru this morning. Here is a calmContinue reading “Saturday, Nov 7th”

Fog finally lifted about 9:30am. So we dropped Jimmy off & slowly started down the ICW Mile Markers (MM) 0 thru 11.3 (one the most complicated leg with couple of Lift Bridges and Great Bridge Lock). Bill & I have talked and dreamed about this section for years. This was a dream come true forContinue reading “Friday, Nov 6th”

Made it to Portsmouth, VA! 106 Nautical Miles in 3 days versus 3 weeks it took us in March. A little engine trouble coming out of Deltaville that we thought we were going to have to turn back, but amazing Captain Bill figured it out. We had a another warm wonderful day on the bayContinue reading “Thursday, Nov. 5th”

Happy Election Day! We decided good time to get out of dodge before people go crazy. We had a beautiful sail down to Reedville with strong West winds pushed us right down. Alot different than March which took 9 hours and entered the port in the dark. Today, it took us 6 hours thanks toContinue reading “November 3, 2020 (Day 1 again)”

So back home at Solomons Yachting Center. The last 24 days have been an amazing experience. We both learned so much about Living on a boat, and loved being together in this first adventure. We have a list of upgrades we are going to do over the summer and decide when to try again. SoContinue reading “April 9th, 2020”

So up before dawn and winds already up and small craft advisory in Solomons starting at 11am. We debated if we were going and decided if we did not go now then we would be stuck in Reedville for another 7-10 days with winds up and in wrong direction to get across the Potomac River.Continue reading “April 8, 2020”

A Short trip today back to Reedville. We like coming in here during the day, much better than at night. We had to stop here because of expected afternoon thunderstorms. Alerts start going off on phone saying “Find Shelter & Go to interior room of your dwelling.” So we listened and went to the interiorContinue reading “April 7, 2020”

Nice calm morning coming out of Gwynn Island inlet. Taking short sail to WIndmill Point Marina to hook up with our friend Chris owner of Bad Ass Oyster Company. Spent the day catching up with him observing social distancing boundaries. Always good to see old friends and talk to someone else besides each other. ChrisContinue reading “April 6th, 2020”

Beautiful sunset last night in Portsmouth. Got up early for long day on water to get back to Deltaville. Busy day coming out of Norfolk harbor. When these barges and ships go by, we realize how tiny our boat is – in comparison. We were not able to get into Deltaville Marina channels with theContinue reading “April 5, 2020”
