The day started out peaceful and quiet. We were the only boat in all of Von Donop Inlet. I had just cracked the eggs into the frying pan for breakfast when we ran out of propane. Our stove/oven is heated by propane and we carry two tanks. Since Je…

After spending a leisurely morning at the dock at Hariot Bay we untied the lines and took off for Von Donop Inlet. It was a little breezy but nothing uncomfortable. When we arrived at the inlet we were the only boat. It was so quiet that all you cou…

We decided it was time to re-provision and do laundry. Hariot Bay seemed like a good place to accomplish all of that. We were told not to tie up to the outer side of the dock because a big vessel was scheduled to arrive later in the day. So our enter…

We have been securely anchored in Roscoe Bay for 8 days. It has been a wonderful time. Mostly sunny weather but a day or two of rain. Charley and Sara Cooney of s/v Allie-Rose joined us for a few of the days that we have been here. We kayaked Black…

At anchor in Roscoe Bay. We started out the day thinking we would just spend a quiet day on the boat preparing to hike Llanover Mountain tomorrow. But after listening to the weather Jerry thought this would be a better day to take the hike. It had b…
