| About: |
This blog will record our adventures as we start our new cruising life. This summer (2012) we plan to head north and explore the coasts of Maine and Nova Scotia. We will also spend some time in New York and Narragansett Bay (around Newport, RI). We will return to Annapolis in the fall for the Sail Boat Show and then head south on the ICW to Florida. We plan to spend the winter in the Bahamas and maybe as far as the BVI. In the spring of 2013 we will return to Baltimore for a few months to help our daughter with a major renovation project on her house. Then we will take off again for points unknown. Eventually we may go all the way around the world. |
Something
Extra: |
Moonraker was built in 1986 and had two owners before we bought her in 2005. After spending nearly two years on the hard making all the repairs and improvements that I had promised Donna we wouldn’t have to do if we bought her, we were finally ready to go sailing. For the next several years we sailed weekends on the Chesapeake. In 2009 everything changed when we set a date to go cruising; May 2012. Suddenly the dream was real. In June of 2011 we took a two week shakedown cruise circumnavigating the Delmarva Peninsula. It was really a shakedown of us not the boat. Now we are just a couple of months away from sailing into the sunset. |
