A protected marina on the Intracoastal Waterway at MM 173 with year-round boating, floating docks, private steam showers, and transient dockage. We are at River Dunes Marina. What a place to relax before returning to New Bern. It has been quiet and restful. We cleaned the salt water off Pale Moon the first day we […]

Last Stop Before New Bern
Going Towards NC Water
Leaving Great Bridge, Va we traveled back into the waters of NC. Even though we call NC our home 9 months of the year we felt as if we are home. Arriving in Coinjock we docked and took Coco for her evening walk. Coinjock is also known as Church’s Island by locals because of a […]
Moments
Sometimes there are moments that make goosebumps on our arms. Sometimes we can glance and see the most amazing things in nature. The past few days we have been making our way back south towards New Bern, NC our home port. We left the Chesapeake having made so many fun memories, and have had a […]
Deltaville, Va
Deltaville is the self-proclaimed “Capital of Chesapeake Bay Boatbuilding”. In September 2005, the museum agreed to take on the restoration of one of the bay’s most unique boats, the “F.D. Crockett.” The Crockett is one of only a few log boats built in the 60-foot range specifically for motor power. There are only two such boats […]
Leanordtown, MD
We anchored out close enough to dinghy into Leanordtown, MD. Leanordtown is a little known secret hidden along the McIntosh Run and has developed a wonderful waterfront area. This area is home to bald eagle families, Baltimore Orioles, wild turkeys and many other bird species. As you wind through the wooded trail you will be […]
Washington DC Part III
While riding on the Metro bus today we were talking about what was our favorite sites in D.C. Ron’s favorite was being able to see the Washington Monument from anywhere we were in downtown, the Smithsonian and or at night from the boat and seeing the Capitol building. It would be kinda sad if I […]

We have been getting our walking in each day. The Capitol Yacht Club is a few blocks away from many of the Museums and the Smithsonian Castle. We have been here over a week and there is so much yet to see. We have decided that what we are not able to see this trip […]
Washington DC / Part I
Coming into Washington DC by boat was breath-taking. As we rounded the curve in the Potomac and could see the Capitol building and the Washington Monument all in our view we smiled at each other. Pale Moon is at the Capitol Yacht Club, we will be here in the area until about May 21st. We […]
Mattawoman Creek to Washington DC
Smallwood State Park, which sets on the edge of Mattawoman Creek, takes its name from General William Smallwood, a native born Charles Countian. He was the highest ranked Marylander who served in the American Revolutionary War. We anchored in Mattawoman Creek close to Smallwood State Park, MD. We were able to take Coco on some […]

Historic St. Mary’s City is an exciting mix of colorful living history and fascinating archaeology, all set in a beautiful tidewater landscape.
