Becoming an owner

Zamami to Taiwan (and in between)
The original idea was to head directly to Ishigaki from Zamami. The problem was that there was a storm coming in the next 24 hours that would keep us hunkered down for the next three or four days. We decided to call our agent and see if h…
Cobb Island to Annapolis (July 16 – August 13)
From Cobb Island we continued up the Potomac with great anticipation. The Hutch-ica celebration was about to begin! We stopped off at Tantallon Marina in Ft. Washington for a week before continuing to the main event.
While there we were able to v…

We arrived around lunchtime and immediately found the Sea Biscuit to eat at. It was fabulous food and very good beer! The […]

On Saturday, July 31, we cruised further north and down the Sassafras River, which was lovely with nice houses and bright green manicured lawns and gorgeous flowering shrubs, to Georgetown Yacht Basin. This is a weekend boater’s paradise with over 120…
