Travel to Tashmoo Lake

We departed Marblehead and motor sailed to Plymouth, MA. As we were sailing past Boston and down the coast, we couldn't help but notice the haze. Then, when we were anchoring, we saw this incredible SUN. This is not your typical "red sky at night, as sailor's delight". It looked more like a rising full [...]

Marblehead

As I mentioned, Marblehead has become one of our favorite cruising destinations this year. We arrived Saturday) of their big "Race Week". We knew it was going to be crowded and we also new that it was going to be rainy on Sunday. So, we dropped the DINGHY in the water, mounted the engine, changed our [...]

Isle of Shoals

So, we left Maine today (sniff). We spent our last night in Isle of Shoals. It's a wonderful little atoll about 10 miles off the coast. A couple of the islands are in Maine and a couple of the islands are in NEW HAMPSHIRE!

This Ole Boat

Old is a relative term. Twenty eight years old doesn't sound too bad by my standards, but for a sailboat that has spent its 28 years in the corrosive environment of salt water, 28 years is older than dirt! Everything metallic (think engine, transmission, mast, cooktop, oven etc, etc) is subject to corrosion [...]

Trolls

Cambridge Cay

30 March 2016
The journey north continues. Frank's feeling better, the dinghy is purring along faultlessly, so it's time for White Wings to misbehave! And, right on cue, she does! The 4 new batteries that Frank purchased 1 month ago in Nassau are not working properly. If Frank was writing this, he would tell you exactly what was wrong with them. All I can say is that the fridge is on the edge of not keeping food cold and we can't run fans at night! So, we're going to head for Nassau to exchange (hopefully!) our batteries out and wait out some bad weather that is forecast for the beginning of next week.
In the mean time, we've reunited with Steve and Deb of "Outbound" here at Cambridge. We've had a great time snorkeling and exploring "just another fabulous beach" (as Steve would say). There's a reef here called the "Sea-aquarium", that is fabulous! This whole area is part of the Exuma Park system and thus protected. The fish have grown accustomed to the divers and practically tap on one's mask! It's filled with brightly colored fish and coral-just fabulous! There's also a crashed plane that is sunk in the middle of the anchorage that is rather creepy to dive. I much prefer the sea-aquarium!
