Monday, June 20, 2022 It’s been a long day getting up about 730am and then putting clothes and items that need to be packed on the bed. I took a shower and both of us dressed, left, each driving our own car, for Catawba Island and Port Clinton so that we could get the bath […]

Monday, November 4 We started the day bouncing around in the Cumberland Island Anchorage after spending a trying night at anchor. The wind and current were opposing each other and Changes couldn’t figure out where to be, so she was just everywhere! I woke up about every 2 hours. You know how it is; one […]
