Although sometimes it's a lot of work, a pain in the neck when dealing with difficult wifi, and challenging to insert pictures, I truly enjoy writing this blog. So why haven't I written since November? Basically, I had a huge, dark cloud hanging over me while away from Unforgettable, both literally and figuratively. Thus, the... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
The 30th annual Kadey-Krogen owners rendezvous was a blast! From 7 a.m. yoga to a great band with dancing the final night, the week was jam packed with wonderful presentations, learning opportunities and non-stop socializing. Our coordinators did a fabulous job bringing in famous people in their fields such as Nigel Caulder (battery technology), Chris... Continue Reading →

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 →
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 →
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 →
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 →
