Joe was starting things up for our departure and found that the breaker switch for the auto pilot was broken. “It’s a boat.” Joe, of course, had a spare and once he’d located it, Bruce helped out getting the old one out and the new one in. So, we left…

Havre de Grace to St. Michaels (Aug 20 – Sep 2)
We finally managed to leave Bruce and Joan’s on August 20th. They are such good hosts and in such a nice location, it was easy to keep extending. But we had places to go and things to see! You wouldn’t think that would be the case knowing the amount of…
Cobb Island to Annapolis (July 16 – August 13)
From Cobb Island we continued up the Potomac with great anticipation. The Hutch-ica celebration was about to begin! We stopped off at Tantallon Marina in Ft. Washington for a week before continuing to the main event.

Elizabeth City to Cobb Island, MD (July 5 – 15 )
The 4th of July in Elizabeth City had been a great stop. Well, the band could’ve stopped playing a little earlier but I’m sure lots of folks were enjoying it. The plan was to ask for a 7:30am lift of the Elizabeth City bridge so we could go north via t…
Charleston to Elizabeth City, NC (June 22 to July 4)
Feeling like we were ready for a vacation after packing up the house, we left Charleston and started making our way north. As I’m sure most of you know, has been hotter than ****. That seems to be the case all over. Of course all that heat encourage…
Okeechobee to Charleston (Apr 16 to Jun 21)
Ack! I’ve almost failed the first grandma test. The proud papa-to-be was disappointed that there was no baby picture included in the last blog posting. Never mind that this omission was solely due to my low level of technical ability. So here, at minu…

As you may recall, when we completed our Loop in Gulf Breeze, FL in November the plan was for a short stay followed by a cruise beginning with the Keys and the Bahamas. As Joe always says, our plans were written in Jell-O. As it turns out, we had a g…
Tenn-Tom Waterway to Gulf Breeze, FL (Nov 10 -19)
After we entered Yellow Creek from the Tennessee, we stopped at Aqua Yacht Harbor Marina. Neil and Peggy (Early Out) were there to have some repairs done on the boat, so we spent a fun evening together. We actually stayed two nights because Ida was …
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…
Cumberland River to Nashville and back (Sep 20 – 30)
Green Turtle Bay Marina, near Paducah, KY, is part of a resort on the north end of Lake Barkley – a large man-made lake. As I mentioned when we arrived, we were greeted by lots of loopers. It is a traditional stop-over for a little R & R after the…
