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 […]

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 […]
Tuesday, September 3. Day 56 We very much enjoyed our stay with Jim and Linda and appreciate all the hospitality. We hope to see them again later in our travels. After our last breakfast we left their dock at 933am to be close to high tide on our way through Oyster Channel so if we […]
Wednesday, August 14. Day 38 This morning we woke to sunny skies and calm winds, as they have been early in the morning. We are staying another day to take a dinghy ride into Westerly, 4.5nm+ ride up the Pawcautuck River to gets some errands done, mainly wash clothes and grocery shopping. It is interesting […]
Thursday, August 8. Day 34 We are on our way to Fishers Island and it’s taken me this long to post about this past Thursday and Friday. Thursday was a rainy day with rain on and off until mid afternoon. It was a day spent reading and doing things on the iPads. We sometimes have […]
Sunday, August 4. Day 32 After we arrived at New Haven Yacht Club, we released the mooring ball at 848am, but had to turn back and wait to return the line that Christina had given us to tie up to the mooring ball. We had it on the combing, so soon we on our way […]
We set our alarm last night to wake at 6am so that we could raise anchor at 630am to try to take advantage of the tides and currents to get a positive boost. We were partially successful as I’ll discuss later. The winds were calm when we left and there were clouds in the sky […]
Fridays July 26. Day 21 We had a lot of chores this morning, and since we paid for a day at the dock, we thought that we would take advantage of it. Phil changed the oil for the engine, put in the cotter pins and taped them on the turn buckles, and connected the electricity […]
Tues, July 23. Day 18 Photos of us enjoying our Hot Fudge Sundaes at Ron and Paul’s last night. Last night it rained on and off and continued until early morning. Today was the start of our 2-day layover in Waterford. We would start out the day with breakfast at Ron and Paul’s on Broad […]
We had a false start this morning turning on the engine 20 min before 8am to go through Lock 11 only to turn it off again but waiting for a motorboat to go up the lock going westbound. Finally, M/V Glazmor from France started up her engines and we got into the lock at a […]
