04/07/2013, Regent Point Marina
Man this winter has been cold, windy and wet. This is the first day we have had to open up the boat and air her out. We spent the winter a friends private dock on the Eastern Branch of the Corrottoman River. This really help us out in a time of upheaval. We are now at Regent Point Marina in Topping, VA. It is a sailboat marina and we are looking forward to meeting our dockmates. We wish Gerald best of luck with Carter's Cove Marina, but it is looking pretty sad with only 5 boats in there. Our goals this summer is to get the boat ready for winter cruising and find a motorhome to do some summertime land cruising.

Sorry for not updating this blog for awhile. We have been super busy lately. This is our last night at Carter's Cove Marina for this winter. The marina is closing for the winter for some major upgrades and we are moving to a private pier for the forseable future. I have been delievering a sailboat to the Sailboat Show in Annapolis, then picking it up after the show. I was impressed as to how well this went with getting into the show and out. These people have been doing this for awhile and have it down pat. Good Old Boats Mag. is doing an story on us and our boat that will come out in the spring of next year. We still need to get some sailing pictures of Rapport for the story before we head south. Will get everyone updated on our progress.

It has been interesting here at the marina this last month. The new owners, Gerald and Debbie Abbott have taken over and have really moved the marina in a positive direction. I know they did not want to owned it again but they are making the best of it. If anybody needs a slip on the Chesapeake please consider coming to Carter's Cove Marina. Here you will find great owners and good slip holders.

Sorry for taking so long to update this site, but there has been alot of things going on in our life. I had a growth in my right cheek that had me worried. Had it removed after 2.5 months and it turned out to be benigned. Felt good until I had to deal with the scar tissue in my cheek, still working on this. Then the marina we are managing went into foreclosure. Have been meeting with the new owners but still do'not know what our roles will be here. Trying to get the boat ready to head south in October. The new AIS is installed, not without a lot of drama, but is up and running. Hope to get heading south in October. Will keep you updated.

I have decided to run for the President of the United States and I promise that I will win. So I need your support and money. How will I win? I have to get on the ballot and I will be changing my name to "None Of The Above".

The photos are now in the photo gallery. This post is for Nick and Jonathan who decided to go camping in Utah instead of coming down to their boat. See what you missed.
