We went whale watching not far off the coast of Provincetown, Massachusetts for the second year in a row. I thought it was wonderful last year but this time is was truly unbelievable. Not...

We didn't spend much time boating in July and early August but we spent a lot of quality time with family. When we arrived in Solomon's Island we had a blast with my girls, Cassandra and Allegra, as well as her boyfriend, Brandon. My girls do not like me to take pictures of them, even...

After exploring downtown Southport we had a beautiful off-shore day cruise to one of our favorite anchorages... Cape Lookout. Our first morning there were were entertained for hours by dozens of dolphins feeding. These very active mammals were much smaller than the bottlenose dolphins that we usually see.

Although we didn't plan an extended marina stay there are some definite advantages to marina life which made life easier for the 7 months we stayed in Stuart: No salt encrusted windows and outside surfaces, unlimited water, a car for errands, Wifi and a few...

No, he didn't fall down the stairs, he simply fell sideways into the wall. Nevertheless, he was in great pain which prompted us to go to Urgent Care. An x-ray showed... Continue Reading →

Our new blue bottom. Scott chooses a different color each time so he can tell when the new layer wears through. Ahoy, we're still here! It's been about 11 weeks since I last wrote because we haven't done much "boating." My last post was from St. Augustine where we had a difficult two days but... Continue Reading →

Typically I write this blog in chronological order. However, today we are starting with today! Today at 5:45 a.m. in the north mooring field in St. Augustine when we awoke to two blasts of an air horn (thank goodness we have a boat with windows that open and we typically sleep with them open). I... Continue Reading →

One of my favorite aspects of life on a boat, and there are many, is the social aspect. During covid our social life existed mainly on Zoom or from several feet away and even that felt threatening. Thank goodness, life is returning to normal. A boater's life that is. Our life is typically filled with... Continue Reading →
