Thursday, September 26 MonkeyFist has a topic about what makes things easier to live on a boat. We went down to the Bahamas the winter of 2010-2011 with only a canvas Bimini to protect us. Phil had updated the boat, but we learned so much and have made even more upgrades that I wanted to […]
Wednesday. September 18, Day 71 The sky was blue and the weather warm and our friends from GRYC are to arrive today. It didn’t take long before I heard the clang of bells from the bridge over Spa Creek announcing that it had just opened and I saw Passage coming into the mooring field to […]
Monday, September 23. Day 76 Last night we made the decision not to go back north to attend the SSCA (Seven Seas Cruising Association) Annapolis Gam which I had really wanted to attend to meet cruising folks. We are to have north winds for the next few days and need to get south to try […]
Monday, September 16 Day 69 Today is the day to go to St. Michaels on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, As is typical for us, we woke early at 6am and castoff at 644am. We saw a beautiful sunrise which is one of the advantages of being up so early. The wind was […]

Monday September 9, Day 62 Our first full day in Essex, my niece was working in the morning, so we relaxed on the boat. I worked most of the time updating the blog and Phil was reading or doing what he does on the iPad. For lunch I doctored the crab spaghetti, which made it […]
Wednesday, September 4. Day 57 606am we start the engine, but the snubber hooked on the chain twice, once in the top part and again in the bottom slot and it was something for Phil to get unhooked. Finally at 615am we raised anchor the 2nd boat to leave. At 645am on the Atlantic Ocean […]
Sunday, September 8. Day 60 We’ve been gone for 2 months. It’s hard to believe. Today our goal is to get to Middle River as close to where our Niece, Heather, lives to spend a few days. We raised anchor at 731am knowing that we would be fighting the current all the way down, but […]
Saturday, September 7. Day 59 Last night we set the alarm for 5am so that we would have 30 min to get ready to leave at 530am so that we would catch the rising tide at the end of Cape May Canal to ride the current up the Delaware Bay. I don’t know what happened, […]
