Shame on us! We should know better.
The only picture I took of the day (how peaceful)We arrived in Deltaville on a Monday from Norfolk and we were stuck there for 4 days. UGGGG! We finally took off for the Solomons 54 miles but were hoping for a longer day to make up some tim…
#14 – Logging Miles

So Alex awakes at 6:30 AM somewhat clear-headed, checks the instruments and ponders. The boats are in 11-feet of depth on Eucott Bay. The tide is at 6-feet and falling to a low of ½ foot within 2-hours. 11 minus 6 equal 5. The …
RACING WITH THE WIND
April 28,2012
Can’t believe it has been 10 days since we posted our last entry. The weather has turned ugly with rain, thunderstorms and high winds, so haven’t had a chance to write.
Even though mother nature hasn’t been kind we are moving anyway. As…
