Serenity heading south...and returning home!

We got an early start this morning (7:00 am) and started our trip from Cape May up the dreaded New Jersey Coast. When we got out into the ocean, the seas were relatively calm, but the wind was blowing a little more than I had hoped it would be at this time of the day. We started making our way north [...]

Utschs Marina, Cape May, NY, 55 Miles

We got an early start at 5:20 am today. As I started to pull out of the marina, I saw 5' depth on the depth indicator and Len was following me and he draws 5 ½ feet. I think Len pushed a little mud coming out but he made it and that is all that counts. Our trip along the rest of the C&D Canal was beautiful [...]

C&D Canal, Summit North Marina, Bear, DE, 48 Miles

Holly and I have decided that Annapolis is just about the nicest city we have visited on out trip. This morning we said a sad good bye to Annapolis and started our trip north for the final push towards home. The wind started to pick up and the seas were building as we made our way up the final part of [...]

Thursday, May 21, Annapolis, MD

I am so happy we decided to lay over another day in Annapolis before we start up the rest of the Chesapeake Bay! The weather today has been cold, windy and rainy all day. I walked Emily this morning before it started to rain and then I waited until midday for a slight break in the weather for her second [...]

Morningstar Marina

24 November 2014 | St. Simons Island, GA, MM-675

Cloudy and warm

This morning we left the Isle of Hope (IOH) Marina at 7:00 am and our plan was to get through Hell Gate early in the day and get close to the dreaded Little Mud River and anchor overnight. We would attack the Little Mud River on a rising tide on Tuesday. As we left IOH, an 80 footer that spent the night at IOH was just ahead of us and I asked them were they planned to spend the night. The Captain told me that he was going to Morningstar Marina, at St. Simons Island and he had a 5 ½ foot draft…holy cow…that’s 86 miles away and covers Hell Gate and the Little Mud River…I asked him if I could follow him along and he said no problem…bottom line (no pun), we had a fantastic trip, Hell Gate was similar to Plum Gut and there was plenty of water in the Little Mud River… we made it through fine and we were all tied up at the marina at 2:00 pm. What a wonderful day. Had a nice relaxing dinner aboard tonight!

Cheers,

Holly, Ed & Emily aboard M/V Serenity
Fair winds and calm seas for all!
