Plans change.

We had planned to stop and anchor in Still Pond over night and arrive home on Sunday. However, when we checked the weather this morning before leaving the marina, we found that we would have winds in our face all day in the high teens. We motored down the Chesapeake Bay all day and, with help from our friend Tom, were docked in our slip in Queens Landing by 4pm. This was a great trip. We saw family and friends along the way, stopped in many interesting places, even the historic Mulford Farm Homestead from the 1680's, but we are also happy to be home. The Captain and the Admiral

Cape May to Summit North Marin, C&D Canal

We were under way at first light again. We went around the shoals at the Cape May Point and headed up the Delaware Bay. By accident, we had the incoming tide with us all the way to the C &D Canal, which connects the Delaware Bay with the Chesapeake Bay. We are in a slip in Summit North Marina, where we spent the afternoon at the pool and had a nice dinner and drinks in the on site Restaurant. The Captain What a fast boat we have! We are almost home. Last Marina of the trip. One anchorage tomorrow. The Admiral

Atlantic City to Cape May.

We woke up this morning planning to stay another day at Golden Nugget Casino because of the winds and waves of Hurricane Chris. Turned out all the slips are spoken for for the next two nights. With a little trepidation, at 20 after 9am we motored out into the ocean and turned south. We found seas that were a little rolly, but no pounding, and the wind was at our back. We turned into the Cape May channel at 2 pm and were anchored off the Cape May Coast Guard Station by 2:30. This is a no wake zone and the boaters seem to respect that. We plan for another 5am departure with a hope to get a slip in a marina in the middle of the C & D Canal. The Captain. Beautiful spot here for boat watching! Huge fishing boats came in with people on the bow scrubbing the windshield. Small sailboats were going by, reminiscent of lake sailing back in the day. Don't forget the jet skis and coast guard boats. All in all, an interesting Anchorage. The Admiral

Boating on our 47th Anniversary!

We were up and out of the mooring field before 5am. We rounded the tip of Sandy Hook and spent the next 12 hours motoring down the Jersey coast to Atlantic City. The last hour and a half we had to slow down in the bigger waves. We are safely docked in the Farley State Marina which is run by Golden Nugget [...]

Atlantic Highlands

We were moving by 5am this morning to time the tide at Hell Gate on the East River. The advice from the Boat US rep at City Island was right on. We were on a mooring in Atlantic Highlands Marina at 10am. We took a launch ride in after lunch, walked the dock area and much of the town, and were back on [...]

Port Washington, NY

Very pleasant ride from Port Jefferson to Port Washington in calm seas. We are back in view of the NY skyline. Took on 40 gallons of diesel, washed the boat, filled the water tanks, and we are leaving the dock at 5am to fight the East River and Hell Gate currents. Next stop a mooring in the Atlantic [...]

We woke up at Osprey Marina this morning, and fed the goats (See pictures in the gallery), and then availed ourselves of the free coffee. We got ready and left Osprey by 10:30. We traveled north, opening three swing bridges, and were docked in the Coquina Yacht Club by 2:30. However, the weather report showed today to be good for travel and the rest of the week maybe not too good. We will be making the call in the morning as to whether we move on to St. James Marina near Southport, NC., or stay put. The Captain

Today is my birthday and I enjoyed waking up and getting to feed the cute goats. Osprey Marina is wonderful in a country like environment. Going north, they call it the last of the low country marinas. The goats stay through the winter and then go to Goat Island in the summer to clean all the grass off the island. This is our second time at Osprey and both times there were babies. The rams were very rude, but funny, trying to butt everyone out of the way to get to the Cheerios. We had a wonderful dinner with Carole and Bob in their new house in Surf City, SC and Bob graciously took Bruce and me in the golf cart to the beach. It’s a five-minute ride to a gorgeous ocean beach. They are very lucky and to get there by golf cart is an amazing bonus. Now we are in Little River, SC and hoping to see Millie and Jim and eat out in a local restaurant for my birthday. The Admiral
