Can’t believe it has been over a month since we have been home – and can’t believe I haven’t blogged about something. I guess we have been busy. I actually started this blog on October 8th and here it is the 20th and I have still not posted it.&n…

All is well that ends well.
Lunch with Rick & Pam (M/V Tourist) and Bob & Sharon (M/V Big Run) turned out to be quite an adventure. Big Run and Broulee hiked the 1.6 miles to Doziers Marina where Tourist has been hanging out for the last month. After a couple …
"A rolling stone gathers no moss"
And that’s what we have been doing lately. Everyday we wake up and it’s the “Groundhog Day” movie all over again. Sunrise, make coffee, anchor up and let’s roll – no moss gathering here. Oh, by the way, Izzy is taking interviews for l…
You know you’re a plugger if…..
your watermaker looks like this. I know, eat your heart out, these are the no-voltage models, Rain-Watermaker 1 and Rain-Watermaker 2, variable gph models. Unit on right is Rain-Watermaker 1, to be utilized with moderate rainfall. Unit 2 comes int…
Cruisers don’t have plans, just intentions

So first stop was an anchorage called Seal Cove – today, Rick saw two whales, and we saw a seal and a turtle. – the anchorage was a little bit rolly, but we put out our “at anchor flopper stoppers” and all was good. The second nights …
Gloucester (which we have sinced learned is pronounced Gloster)
Up early for a run to Portsmouth, New Hampshire (pronounced Porthsmith) and can’t tell you how badly we butchered the name of the river we stayed on – Piscataqua (Pis cat a qua) – and they think us Minnesotans speak funny – uff da, vell don’t ya know. …
Block Island, R.I. to Gloucester, MA – and some sights along the way.
We had a nice weather window for a couple of day runs, so on Sunday the 22nd we decided to start heading north. Two problems – 1. When Rick and Izzy went to shore for one last puppy pumpout they found a dinghy floating near Broulee and no s…
