I didn’t fully appreciate the docking instructions until we arrived, “ahh, now I get it”.Pack ’em in boys! We spent three days meeting people and having fun!
Watt’s Island, Chesapeake Bay
We are on our way to the Krogen Cruiser’s Rendevous in Solomons Island. We stop for the night off of Watt’s Island in Tangier Sound. Again, we would never have previously thought of an anchorage like this but with the favorable weather we h…
Tennessee River (Oct 1 – Nov 8)
We stayed a full day at Green Turtle Bay – processed the mail and had dinner with Bob and Theresa (Theresa) to celebrate their one year anniversary on the boat. The next day we went through a short canal connecting Lake Barkley to Kentucky Lake and sto…
