Retirement
This past April Coy, our oldest child retired from the Air Force. When I say that out loud it seems unreal. Our son has retired and not only retired but decided to move back to Alaska. During one of their assignments their family lived in the Anchorage, Alaska area and Coy has had a dream […]
March Madness

It has been since October of 2009 when I first heard of Ocracoke Island that I became enamored with the idea of visiting the island. In more than one conversations about possible boating trips I would slip in the name Ocracoke. I talked and dreamed about going and it became somewhat of a joke and […]
Summer Heat
Between the smoke from the fires around the area in the NC area on the East coast and the extreme hot weather the days have felt like the dog days of Summer. We are settled in at North West Creek Marina. Walking Coco in the area is good for her and us. We can walk […]
Out and About
We have been back in New Bern for about two weeks. We decided to boat in and around the New Bern area for the rest of this boating season and possibly over the next few years for as long as we have Coco. When we were out on the cruise to Washington DC Coco did […]
