Currently holed up at the Downtown Marina in Beaufort, SC while the rains go through. One of the boats from Fishing Bay Harbor Marina is here with many others. Rain party?

Pokey and I with our mini-doxies Blackie and Red are currently enjoying a stopover with family at Folly Beach outside of Charleston. In a few days, we will be back on the ICW heading for Beaufort, then St. Mary's, and on to New Smyrna Beach. End goal is Marathon Key.

Gary, myself and our two dogs left Florida in December 2008, have been through the Bahamas chain, TCI, Luperon, Jamaica, Panama (Carib. side), Isla Providencia, Roatan and are now holed up in Rio Dulce, Guatemala for the hurricane season. Planning has taken about 5 years (getting the boat ready, getting our financials & family obligations ready), and we're finally living the dream!

Edi and I are in the final stages of preparing to sail off over the horizon in our new Hunter 49. We now plan on departing Vancouver on 30 September.

Elaine, Marin and I are sailing our Hunter 35.5 on Lake Champlain. Our season is woefully short. We'll be on the hard by mid-October. Our dream is to be sailing on the East coast in 4 years and following the sun. Fair winds & Smooth sailing, LAwrence Leonard

Pokey and I are retiring next month and working our way south to the Keys and Bahamas by New Years on our Freedom 45. Looking for a new home port so I never have to see snow again although the Chesapeake will always be home in the summer.

We cruise aboard Wetnose in the south Pacific about 4 months a year. The rest of the time we're in the USA working and having fun with our 2 grandchildren.
