This very beautiful ship is at the marina with us. More details as we learn them and enjoy the company of her crew. Happy Thanksgiving all.
A Trip Down Memory Lane
Month: November 2020
Land!
Continued attempts to fix the end cap on the raw water intake line for the coolant system resulted in the Captain discovering that the heat exchanger has gone bad. So, after checking in with smart diesel engine people, we were going to try to make some headway. Until the fix on the intake stopped working.… Continue reading Land!
Two Good Hands
Well, it has been an adventure since our last post. Some may say an epic adventure 😎. And our story brings us to Sapelo Sound, Georgia. Having left from Wrightsville Beach and having decided to continue south with the wind, we did just that. The seas were with us and we sailed. And we loved.… Continue reading Two Good Hands
Our 4th Storm
But our first tropical storm at anchor. But our first storm that mostly hit during daylight hours. She seems to be mostly behind us now and for that, we are getting ready to tuck in for the night. It seems the whole crew is looking for us to be on the move again. Once the… Continue reading Our 4th Storm
A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste
No dinghy. Rainy days. What to do on board.... pirate cats! We fully expect Dora to get her revenge for this. But hey, she has her own rum! Happy Wednesday!
Another One Bites the Dust
As we continue our wait in Wrightsville Beach for a weather window to head south, we thought some topping off of supplies might be in order.  And then......

The thing started smoking. Which, while I'll say smoke 'em if… Continue reading Another One Bites the Dust

We knew weather was coming and we didn't think we would get to Wrightsville Beach before dark. But the winds picked up! And as dawn was approaching, Jason realized we would have either 6… Continue reading Return to Wrightsville Beach
A Friend From Not So Long Ago
As the sun was rising this morning, I took a photo of another sailboat off in the distance with the sun coming up in the background. As it turns out.....we knew him! We had been slip neighbors in Norfolk for several days and left out within a few hours of each other. The two Captains… Continue reading A Friend From Not So Long Ago
Baby It’s Cold Outside
We are once again heading south. We were able to enjoy some cooler fall weather in the Chesapeake, but then winter came. 😊 The lines were cast off and we were in the channel before 8am. And we weren't the only ones! The Captain counted 14 boats out this morning and we are all headed… Continue reading Baby It’s Cold Outside
