We have had to push off the Bahama's leg of this year cruising plan (remember sailors have intentions, not plans) for the ever increasing demands of day to day stuff here in the Maritime Republic of Eastport.... but we will hopefully be joining up with several cruiser friends (Tintean', Swift Ranger et. al ) on a slow, stop and smell the shrimp journey up the ICW back to summer in the Chesapeake.... so it goes..but hey...it's still boat time...kev'o
hang'n on Island time

Well.... made Jekyll Harbor Marina on Dec 1st having a great run down the ICW.... I doing solo from Eastport to Eliz City via the Dismal Canal.... stops in Solomons Island, Fishing Bay, Portsmouth, NC Welcome Center, and Eliz City.
Left Pearl at the Pelican Marina for a few days (NE'er hit hard.....) then Jan joined and we made great time and had Thanksgiving in McCellanville.... then booked to Jekyll. As all know, it was a cold winter everywhere and we stayed in Jekyll till late spring, then heading north back to the Chesapeake. Jan and I made McCellanville in record time, dropped the boat and drove back to the Chesapeake for Oyster Boy gigs and other work related needs. Newly minted bro in law Jake Flory crewed along from Mcville to Beaufort.. again making some 70-78 nm days and great weather/sailing... finally, Jan and I brought Pearl home again via the Dismal (her 1st time) and made Eastport by June 7th....
We are summering Pearl up on Spa Creek (Annapolis) while we get the properities ready for the future, play some gigs with the Oyster Boys and get ourselves and Pearl ready to head south in November.... and the Bahamas.... see you on the Bay
