Wednesday, December 18 We left a little later as had to fill water tanks, put dinghy back on deck and go to get gas for the dinghy. That was an adventure we wouldn’t want to repeat, getting gas I mean. As we came up to the gas dock, Phil wasn’t too sure if it, but […]
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 […]
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 […]

Saturday, September 7. Day 59 Last night we set the alarm for 5am so that we would have 30 min to get ready to leave at 530am so that we would catch the rising tide at the end of Cape May Canal to ride the current up the Delaware Bay. I don’t know what happened, […]
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 […]

We left the dock at 1108am and 1nm and 20 min later were anchored behind the breakwall. I made a pasta […]
