“Oh No,” you say, “Where did all the blog entries go?”Not to worry, the most recent cruise from Marathon to Solomons, Md. has been concatenated, saved to a PDF file, and linked through the “Past Cruises” tab. The photos from the “Photos

Hot
Like much of the rest of the US, Solomons has been hot, brutally hot. We are back from our move-in in Sarasota, but nobody appears to be going out cruising – it’s just too uncomfortable. There are a total of five Krogens here and a couple more at nea…
Update – everything but boating
Back in December, we sold our house in Annapolis and put the rest of our “stuff” in storage. So, it was time to buy a house in which to store it all – it’s cheaper that those storage outfits – this is making perfect sense to all of you, right? In…
Solomons – this journey’s end
It was 96° yesterday and nary a breeze – since when is it August in Maryland? For the first time ever, we ran the generator (and air conditioning) all night, otherwise, it would have been stifling. On our cruise today, we crossed the mouth of the Poto…
Little Bay (off Fleets Bay)
We went to dinner in Portsmouth at a place named Still. The menu looked promising (they feature “tapas”, which really means petite portions and has nothing to do with Spanish tapas), as did the Yelp reviews. Many of the combinations sounded very cr…

We were anchored in Broad Creek last night, but didn’t see any frogs (remember last time here we had a few hitch-hikers), but we did hear thousands of them. While the frogs made no physical presence on the boat, the same can’t be said of the mayfli…
Near Nowhere
Really – the nearest “thing” is the Coinjock Marina and it’s 12 miles away. We’re anchored in Broad Creek, which is a lovely, protected anchorage just off the Albemarle Sound. Today’s transit of which, was also lovely – a following sea, such …
Near Belhaven
We left Morehead City around sunrise, going through the Neuse River, the Pamlico River, the Pungo River, and a few canals. Our anchorage tonight is in Scranton Creek, which affords protection from the wind in every direction except the west. Amazingly,…
Morehead City day 2
Dinner last night at Floyd’s was wonderful – we had their flash-fried oysters, one of the few exceptions we make to eating fried foods. Sherri had the Ahi tuna with collard greens and grits – the greens were fresh and sweet. This is really a great co…
Morehead City
Today was not a perfect day. It started out fairly well, going out the inlet at 9 knots. But with a nine hour run, one can’t expect conditions to remain constant. The whole day was lumpy with a combined beam and following sea, but the waves were arou…
