Traveling the coast of New Jersey was not all that exciting. Not a lot to see. When I left the last time we were–GASP!–having to go out on the ocean for the next hundred-plus miles. There is an inside passage but time, storms and lack of money to dredge it are taking it toll and […]

Our travels since I last wrote have taken us to Chesapeake City, Maryland to Delaware City, Delaware, and today we arrived in Cape May, New Jersey. Three states inn three days in an 8kt trawler. We had a nice three days of weather to travel but now we are sitting in Cape May for at […]

Well, last night as I ended the post, we were just about to arrive in Oxford, MD. We pulled into Mears Yacht Haven around 2:30 and we were off to see the town. I think I mentioned that the reason we were here was because of a post that was done by Wayne and Rhonda […]

I really tried to get a blog post done sooner than this but it just didn’t happen and now here it is the night before we are to leave for Chesapeake City and I still don’t have a blog post done. I’m sitting on the bow of the boat with my Macbook Pro while watching […]

We left Portsmouth and headed north up the Chesapeake. It is RARE for me to see a sunrise so I thought I would document this one. I was sitting on the aft deck of the boat enjoying my first cup of coffee while viewing the activity on the Elizabeth River. Yes, there was activity on […]

We crossed the Ablemarle Sound from Columbia, NC heading for Elizabeth City, NC. The Ablemarle can get rough but while our crossing wasn’t smooth, it wasn’t all that bad, even for scaredy-cat-me. By the time we were heading into Elizabeth City, it was a smooth ride. A family was heading out on their houseboat. Mom […]

Friendships made while traveling the loop are time and again said to be one of the best parts of looping. Sure, the journey is fun and the experiences are many but the friendships and camaraderie complete the experiences. This brings me to the rest of the story from last night that I said I would […]

Arapahoe, NC to Columbia, NC – 100 miles in the last four days but only 3 travel days. Boating in a trawler is NOT a fast mode of travel. We were able to leave Wayfarers Marina on Wednesday, May 22 after the canal going out of the marina had been dredged (see my post on […]

Wind tides (Seiche – pronounced “saysh”) were new to me but today we had a lesson in them. We woke up this morning and readied the boat to go. Pendragon, our neighboring boat was doing the same. Both Mr. B and the captain of Pendragon (a hired captain not familiar with the channel here) decided […]

Cicadas – what the heck is a cicada, you are wondering! Well, a cicada (genus Magicicada) is a bug. Yes, there are always bugs around so what is the big deal? These Brood II cicadas only emerge from the ground every seventeen years. Not everyone will be able to see this emergence. Seems like they […]
