Canal adjacent to Oswego River Along canal wall-Oswego It’s an easy run from Phoenix to Oswego. Phoenix is lock O-1; we cleared lock O-7 at Oswego and decided to stay put. We arrived on Friday July 7, and planned to stay for a few days waiting out some wind. The hop […]

Brewerton for a bit
We continued on the canal with a stop at Sylvan Beach then across Oneida Lake and arrived in Brewerton on June 24th. We took a slip at Ess Kay Yards for a week. I had removed the injectors and the injector pump at Stansbury and had the pump overhauled and the injectors tested. It ran […]
Vero Beach
Since having left New Bern, we spent a month in Jacksonville FL. Part of the stay was to enable us to make the drive to York to spend some time with family before the holidays, daughter Andrea, her hubby David and our granddaughter Kyla flew in from San Francisco and the game plan was to […]
Escape from New Bern
Early morning departure After finally having the windshield replacment wrapped up, we planned to depart from New Bern. But first, we decided to stick around over the weekend for the Mum Fest, an annual festival/street fair that’s normally held the first week in October. This year, the first weekend in October was host […]
Ocracoke
Since we have a week or so to kill, and Ocracoke’s only a day’s run, we decided to head over while we’re waiting for our windshield. With our National Park Senior Pass, we can dock for only 60 cents/ft, quite a bargain! Besides, it’s one of our favorite places, lots of good memories there since […]
Oriental, New Bern
From the Pungo we headed to Oriental and a stopover at the town free dock. Oriental is cruiser-friendly, and they added another free dock in the last year with pumpout and restrooms. Nice! The pier is large enough for 4 smaller cruisers, we take up a bit more than that, so our chances of getting […]
Coinjock – Snap, crackle, POP!
Coinjock has become a traditional stopover. It’s a short day cruise from Portsmouth, it requires passage through a lock and several draw bridges, it’s the only stopoff before Albemarle Sound, plus the restaurant there has great prime rib! Sister Lisa has a beach home near Nags Head, and if they are at the beach, it’s […]
Ingram Bay to Portsmouth
We arrived at Ingram Bay at 1600 hrs. after a short cruise from Solomons. We anchored at Sandy Point, behind a hook that provides good protection, although protection wasn’t an issue. A delightful evening at anchor, up early the next morning for the run to Portsmouth, our next destination, a run of just over 60 […]
Heading south
We slipped lines from Stansbury Tuesday morning of the 11th. We enjoyed a very smooth run, winds out of the NE and calm water. Great trawler weather! While underway we called friends Bill & Jean, former owners of sister ship Solo/Selene 4307. They were home and were happy to have us drop in on short […]
South toward Georgetown
Our delightful weather continued to hold pattern, so we decided to head toward Georgetown, where we would meet up with Luc and Marie Andrée, our friends aboard lnnu upon their arrival around the 15th. Cruising conditions could not have been better, calm winds and seas, bright sunshine, true trawler weather! Since we were in deep […]
