Monday September 30 to Monday, October 7. Days 83 to 89 It’s almost 3pm on Sunday and this is the first day that Phil and I have been semi-relaxing since coming to Oriental. We’ve been busy visiting cruising friends in the evenings and working on boat projects during the day except for a trip into […]

Saturday, September 28, Day 81 This morning dawned with lots of fluffy clouds in the sky and a lull in the wind. I looked at the calendar and realized that our friends Don and D were going on a trip a week from Monday. Wow in only ONE week! So if we wanted to see […]
I started out the day washing two loads of clothes while Phil cleaned the side decks and cockpit on Changes. I had my iPad with me and checked the weather, as we often do daily before a passage and it looked like it had changed to be SW on Friday instead of continued E or […]
Tuesday, August 13. Day 37 We woke to fog in our anchorage so thick that we could only see the three boats close to us. Good thing that we weren’t planning on going anywhere, but not good as Lorraine won’t be able to go crabbing. As the morning went on, the rain came and went […]
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 […]
Wednesday, August 7. Day 33 We did get the errands done; visiting the Post Office, grocery shopping and preparing for leaving the dock. Thank you Carol and Chet for transporting us in your cars. We left the dock at 1108am and 1nm and 20 min later were anchored behind the breakwall. I made a pasta […]
Saturday, August 3. day 30 We woke up to a gray and rainy skies with winds that are predicted to be in the mid-teens with gusts in the 20’s. This is nothing that the boat and crew can’t handle, but not something we would choose to sail in unless we had a good reason, and […]
Just wanted to let everyone know that we are ok after the thunderstorms came through, tied up at the dock and safe. Hope everyone is ok too.
Phil woke Lorraine this morning about 640am and we cast off from the dock 656am, ahead of schedule. It started off warm and we reached our first lock just after it opened at 801am in Macedon. It has the unfortunate reputation for the walls being the worse in the canal. We don’t have any more […]
