From Bald Head Island to Norfolk
We stayed two days at Bald Head Island and just loved it. There is no bridge connecting it to the mainland, so the only way to get there is by boat, either a private boat like ours or the passenger ferry, which arrives every hour th…
On the Move Again
After a month at Charleston, taking care of mechanical issues, plus going back to Columbia for Doctors’ and dentist appointments and condo issues, we finally threw off the lines at Charleston City Marina on Wednesday, May 4th, headed for Georgetown, SC…

Arrival at Stuart
On Monday morning, January 3rd, we threw off the lines once again to continue our trip south along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway toward Stuart, Florida, our next destination. During our stay at Vero Beach we had replaced a faulty fuel lift p…
