Thursday, June 23, 2022 Trip: 39.15. GPS 218nm Last night the wind direction was just right that we left the companionway hatch open and A/C off. The light winds were enough to keep us comfortable and predicted to go down to 63-64F. About 0130, I woke to the banging of lines agains the mast, clang, […]

Hi everyone! As you can see I haven’t been posting. Sorry but just not up to it. We visited friends in Long Island Sound, then went up the Hudson River and into the Erie Canal spending a weekend in Fairport, NY to visit my brother and his family. Then we went the rest of the […]
Changes has now been in salt water for almost two years and traveled 6650 nautical miles. She has been used every day for two years except for 5 months when we were back in Ohio. The result is that things have worn out, broken or were lost. So now that we are docked at Lauderdale […]
Saturday, Jan 3, 2015 We decided to take the local bus into La Marin, the next town over. It was last minute idea about and whether we should get a move on to take the 9am bus or be leisurely to get the 1040am bus. I voted to get the 9am bus so we got […]
In preparation for Lorraine arriving today I cleaned a little and filled the water tank and sun showers. At 7p Ian the taxi driver knocked on the boat and introduced me to Diane. She drove me to the airport so we could pick up Lorraine. We got there at 8 PM and Lorraine came out […]
December 1 Monday This morning I finished reading volume one of Shelby Foote’s book The Civil War. I noticed yesterday that no anchors were rigged. The bow roller was empty. This would not do as when we left the dock we have to be ready to lower the anchor at a moments notice if something […]
November 30 Sunday This morning after coffee I walked over to the gas dock and got 10 liters of gas for the outboard. After I got back, I washed the under side of the dodger. After this I read then had lunch. At 12:30 I started to walk over to Cruise Inn where dominos is […]
November 29 Friday This morning when I turned on the SSB there was too much loud interference so I turned it off. Next I checked for internet service as yesterday afternoon it stopped working. It was still off. With no internet I couldn’t laze around drinking coffee and reading the paper so I had to […]
November 27 Thursday Up early as usual but discombobulated as being Thanksgiving there was no weather from Chris Parker. Next thing as I was getting ready to paint the dingy bottom, I missed the local net on VHF Chanel 68. So if anything special was planned for today I missed it. Oh well! Since it […]
November 26 Wednesday I had a restful night now that Changes is in the water. The C dock is well protected but the boats still roll around on passing wakes. Basically the boat is never still but it way better than the anchorage. Once the coffee was made I pumped the bilge and noticed that […]
