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, […]
Wednesday, June 22, 2022. Trip: 39.15. GPS log 218nm We woke at 0556; No dew outside. Wind from 250 degreeat 8.4 knots at the boat. 81F. Though the A/C didn’t run last night, having the fan for air movement worked well. The only rain I see on the radar is in Iowa so I’m confident […]

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 […]
Hello everyone! It’s been awhile since I posted. Phil has a old friend (not necessarily in years, but length of their friendship) that has a 1977 Tartan 37. Ted hasn’t been able to get out as often, and we would like to sail more, so a partnership was created where we do sweat equity and […]
I hope everyone is doing as well as possible with the COVID19 pandemic. We are staying healthy and haven’t come down with the virus that we know. I continue to work weekends at Hospice of the Western Reserve practicing appropriate precautions and have the PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) that I need. We take it very […]
We bought a house and are living the “off to work” lifestyle. We love Changes but it is time to move on to our next adventure. Be sure to read Lorraine’s post attached after the photos. For more info call me at 440 231 0089. I bought SV Changes new in 1979 and she has […]
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 […]
I know it’s been a long time since we posted but it’s never too late to start up. The last time you heard from us we were in Fort Lauderdale. Well from there with the help of ourgood friend Ken Blyth, we sailed to the Cape Fear River and then motored up the inter coastal […]
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 […]
