We made it!!!! We made it to Stuart in exactly 20 days. Unfortunately, we had to depart St. Augustine earlier than we would have liked on day 16 in order to arrive in Ft. Pierce by day 19. Why was it so important to be in Ft. Pierce you might ask? Because we wanted to... Continue Reading →
Making the mad dash southward: 20 Days to Stuart, FL
As usual, here we are with a schedule! Twenty days to travel from Solomon's, MD to Stuart, FL. With good weather this is easy as pie. In moderate weather, if we don't dawdle it is still easy as pie. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and we can still enjoy some fun stops along the way.... Continue Reading →
Kadey-Krogen Rendezvous #3

Exploring the Chesapeake Bay
After a smooth 33.5 hr. overnight cruise from Block Island, RI, we settled into a calm and peaceful anchorage for two nights near the mouth of the Sassafras River (just off the Chesapeake Bay). We arrived in the bay with two full weeks of nothingness which brought us a sigh of relief. How unusual for... Continue Reading →
Rhode Island and Dorian

It was absolutely gut wrenching to know that places we love were being destroyed. Growing up in Missouri I had no idea how a hurricane can impact lives and... Continue Reading →
Nantucket: The Gray Lady and Sperm Whales
I tried so hard to see whales, or at least catch a glimpse of a Great White Shark, while crossing from Hyannis to Nantucket. No such luck! We did, however, have a smooth ride to a large anchorage in the calm Nantucket Harbor where the tide currents are fierce and the Atlantic Sea Nettles... Continue Reading →
Martha’s Vineyard & Hyannis
Thick fog surrounded Unforgettable rendering us unable to see more than a quarter mile for most of our journey from Wickford, RI to Martha's Vineyard, MA. So dense in fact, we had to turn on our auto-horn which sounds a single prolonged blast every two minutes to alert nearby boaters. The 100 mile island is comprised of... Continue Reading →
Resfeber: Essex, Mystic Seaport, Wickford
There's actually a word that describes what I feel prior to some of our passages. It's not actually a fear, but definitely anticipation and a little anxiety, but in a good way. Usually this occurs the night before a really long or challenging passage or before exploring new places such as New England. I... Continue Reading →
I love NYC!!!
I love NYC!!! I love the energy, the sounds, and the subway. The subway? Yes, I even love riding the subway and experiencing different languages, accents, styles of dress and different religions, a smattering of everything. I even like seeing the guy with the horns coming out of his nose which sits on a face... Continue Reading →
