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 […]

Saturday, November 22 It seems like I do some of my best thinking at night, so I’m going to reflect on the purpose of writing the blog for me. Last trip as you may recall, I wrote about every day on our trip. Please go here, if you want to read that blog of our […]
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 […]
Sunday, October 27. Day 110 We woke up to more cold this morning. An unusual thing happened. We heard birds walking on the foredeck and then saw birds walking on the forehatch. We haven’t seen this before so I attempted to get some photos, very quietly getting out of bed to get the camera and […]
Thursday, October 24, Day 107 We woke to clear skies and 54 degrees outside and 62 degrees inside the boat. The engine is taking many cranks to turn over and start, but is better than yesterday. We cast off Bentana at 725am with minimal current. It was so cold that Phil put gloves on at […]

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 […]

Tuesday, October 29 We are in Turner’s Creek with preparations made (dinghy on deck) to go out Wassaw Sound then south along the Georgia coast to go in St. Simons Inlet with enough light to see ending up in Brunswick Harbor tomorrow with Bentana going along with us. We have consulted Chris Parker and expect […]
Thursday, October 17, Day 100 We woke to a HEAVY dew and were able to see a few dolphins, but only were able to get photos of their fin out of the water. We waited until 847am to raise the anchor to try to have the negative tidal current less than starting early and having […]
Sunday, Oct 13 to Monday, Oct 14 Days 96 & 97 Sunday we raised our anchor at 712am and went aground coming out of the anchorage at 33 52.249″ W and 78 34.313W. We backed off, so wasn’t so bad but this happened because we read Skipper Bob’s guide to ICW (their updated edition) and […]
