June 25 & 26, 2022 We’ve been busy seeing and visiting with people, going places that I didn’t take the time to blog Saturday, so here is this weekend in one post. Saturday We woke a little before 8am, which is sleeping in for me, to a beautiful day. 68F, calm winds, and blue skies. […]

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, […]
November 15 Saturday At the end of the day Friday the yard moved the jack stands so I could paint the bottom where the pads were. Saturday morning I got to work right after the cruisers net at 8 AM on channel 68 on the VHF radio. It didn’t take long to sand and paint […]
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 […]
I sit here today, Sunday, January 26, as one of the last three boats left in the anchorage as the other boats, which had numbered 15 at their peak this week, leave for other destinations. We think there is a big group of boats going to Calabash Bay and then tomorrow to Conception Island. I’m […]
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 […]
Sunday, October 20, Day 103 This morning when we woke at 7:45 AM it was about 63 degrees and cloudy. Today we went the short jump from Lady’s Island to Beaufort to meet up with SV Bentana. We cast off at 11 AM and about an hour later we rafted off Judy and Stephen’s boat. […]
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 […]
Thursday, October 10, Day 92 When we woke up this morning, it was still breezy and cool and damp. We paid $2 for our electricity and cast off with Brian and Stephanie’s help at 851am. The winds were 8-9kts from the NW but quickly climbed to 12-15kts once we were in the Neuse River. At […]
Wednesday, October 9, Day 91 It continues to rain and rain and rain today, but at least it’s not as hard and in the afternoon it became more scattered. After listening to the weather and hear that the Low is still centered over Cape Hatteras near us, we decide to stay another day. Here we […]
