We made it…so far. When we pulled out of Tarpon Springs our focus was safety, seafood, sailing, and apparently other things that start with an “S”. The end goal on this trip for 2022 was to revist the Annapolis sailboat show we first experienced already a decade ago. It’s nearly now the end of AugustContinue reading “Port Charles in Charge”

Holy Ship Norfolk!!
When Americans build a boat…they build a freakin’ boat!!! After our departure from the free dock in Chesapeake, VA we passed through a bascule bridge and were quickly crammed into a river lock that nearly held one 100 foot cargo barge, two power boats, and three sailboats. Ever been on a really crowded elevator andContinue reading “Holy Ship Norfolk!!”
Buying Friends
After a few monotonous days in the ICW, we took advantage of a free dock in Chesapeake, Virginia. We had been somewhat traveling with not one, but two new boat mate friends.

“I’m a Thousand Miles From Nowhere”
Remember Dwight Yoakum? The other day we chugged 50+ miles up the Pungo ( that’s fun to say) River which eventually turned into the Alligator River. I say chugged because we had a 15-20 knot headwind which reved up the diesel to about 2800 RPMs. After a late start we finally tied up at theContinue reading ““I’m a Thousand Miles From Nowhere””
Beaufort (part 2)
While in Beaufort, I took the opportunity to explore the Rachel Carson Preserve. While crossing the heavy traffic of the Taylor River felt a little like playing trigger on a paddle board, it was well worth it! On these types of explorations, I typically bring a small garbage bag to collect the trash of theContinue reading “Beaufort (part 2)”
