So much to be thankful for this year.  First…..we are here enjoying a new vessel with our two furry friends who love our company because we feed them and provide them a pretty spoiled living.  Then we have the support of family that allows us to live our dream of spending the winter months away READ MORE

With the flip of a switch, or in this case the pull of the plug, we are off shore power and on the water to set up for our next move south.  The waters this morning on the ICW are choppy and the breeze she is a blowing.  The captain has the stabilizers engaged as READ MORE

 We had not been able to enjoy much of the town yesterday as it was Sunday and most shops are closed…..good to see that there are still some folks that believe that Sunday is a day of rest.  Don’t get me wrong….if they were open I would be there but it still is nice to READ MORE

 With a desire to go offshore from Charleston for a day or two, we have elected to slow our pace to get into the Charleston Harbor.  So today we decided to leave Bucksport and head to Georgetown South Carolina.  This part of the Waccamaw River is wide and carries depths over 20 feet.  It is READ MORE

 It was an early morning start as we had our sights on making Bucksport SC which would be about 10 hours on the water.  With our dear friend Paul in Ottawa keeping track of us and encouraging us along the way, we would squeeze in to Bucksport Marina at 5:15 as the sunset gave way READ MORE

We know we want to get beyond Beaufort and Morehead City if possible and READ MORE

 We bid our farewell to Belhaven and the lovely marina folks at River Forest Manor and Marina.  We elected to let Bill and the crew aboard Somewhere In Time to depart before us.  We knew they would be passing us anyhow so might as well wait, right?  I forgot to share their picture entering the READ MORE

With Greg needing to do a virtual check in with one of his doctors today, we elected to stay in Belhaven where we knew we had good cell phone coverage.  This area can be spotty at times and we have yet to spend time enjoying the scenery. Henry, one of the principal owners of the READ MORE

 We had just a tad bit of trouble lifting the anchor this morning but with a little quick maneuvering the captain was able to get it loose and we were off to Belhaven. We decided to head into a marina so we could make an easy rendezvous with our friends, Barry and Robin.  Seems there READ MORE
