Anchor up at Houghtaling Island after a peaceful night. The bottom was muddy, which meant a good hold for the night with 5 feet of (fresh water) tide, but the wash down pump is necessary to remove the mud from the anchor and anchor rode. The 6 bo…

Houghtaling Island, New Baltimore, NY….sign me up!
The trip up the Hudson River was interesting, as usual! We have seen so many lighthouses with many in total disrepair. As we left Norrie State Park, a pontoon boat was leaving at the same time. Local volunteers have done significant work to fix up the …
Elk Rapids 6-26-11
We traveled 24 miles from Traverse City to Elk Rapids on 6/20 and stepped back to small town Americana at its best. In our 7 days here, we’ve had 5 days of rain and NOAA which usually forecasts weather in technical terms ran out of descriptions and …

Hyde Park, NY…West Point, FDR home & Culinary Institute of America…that’s a winner!
Norrie Point State Park is a great stop. Friendly staff and easy in and out. Docks are floating and in need of a bit of attention as all State Parks do these days, but overall very nice. With a price of $1 a foot after $2.50 a foot at Croton, we are ha…
#35 June 2011 The Abacos – Treasure Cay – Green Turtle – Crab Cay – Great Sale – West End. Ft. Pierce – Merritt Island – New Smyrna – Palm Coast, Florida. St. Simons Island, GA
The cruising destinations that we’ve chosen over the past couple of months could be called “The Lost Bahamas”. The Bahamians wouldn’t consider them “lost” but for us who live on the other side of the Gulf Stream, the islands we’ve visited seem ‘mispla…
Eaton’s Neck..through incredible NYC on the fast flowing East River and up the Hudson to Croton on Hudson
We were the only boat in Eaton’s Neck anchorage. Tom Teachman our carpenter from Stratford had recommended Easton’s Neck, on the South shore of Long Island Sound, as he and his wife’s favorite anchorage. Since they have lived in CT all their …
Stratford has been fabulous, but on we go!
We have been in Stratford, CT since the 9th of June. We have been enjoying the time with Adrienne and Joe, helping them in their move to their new home. Crawdad has been under repair and as repairs go…time has passed and the promised 10 days has turn…
