Sunday, September 21, 2014 Phil and I made it home to Solon, Ohio, in the Cleveland area June 17. We saw family, including my daughter Katie a couple times. That’s when the curve ball came also called “life changing on a dime”. July 4th weekend Katie had a pain crises. It ended up that she […]
Friday, April 18 Good Friday After spending 4 lovely days at Palmas Del Mar with Victoria and Nick, Phil’s daughter and husband, we left a Thursday for Culebra, an island in the Spanish Virgin Islands. We had to leave a day early due coming high winds so said goodbye leaving at 11am. Good thing we […]
Wednesday, March 12 We have had a lovely stay here at Marina Bahia, which is in a resort residence just outside of Samańa, DR. It’s been a very welcome break from bouncing in Changes on anchor. The weather has a pattern to it each day. The mornings start out cool, which for us is the […]
Today is Sunday, February 23 and I’m sitting in the cockpit with the sound of,the wind with the halyards clattering in the 12-17kt breeze from the east.

I sit here today, Sunday, January 26, as one of the last three boats left in the anchorage as the other boats, which had numbered 15 at their peak this week, leave for other destinations. We think there is a big group of boats going to Calabash Bay and then tomorrow to Conception Island. I’m […]
Friday, January 3 It rained this morning and the winds have clocked to the North at 6-8 kts. We get in the dinghy and try trolling. First time I hooked something a combination of factors caused the line to break and for me to lose my favorite lure. For one thing the tide was going […]
Sunday, January 12, 2014 It’s a warm morning in Georgetown with <5kts wind as we sit under the trees at Volleyball Beach watching men groom the volleyball courts (leveling the sand) while we wait the pig roast to start. There aren’t many people here yet, but expect it to get busy. There are kids swinging […]
