Great Kills Yacht Club, Staten Island, NY, 120 Miles

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 [...]

Rain & Fog
This morning it was raining and a little foggy and Len & I decided to leave by 9:00 am. Heron stayed in port a little while longer waiting for the weather to improve. I think Holly would have preferred to be on Heron rather than Serenity, but the weather improved as we went along and we arrived in Beauport in time to go out for lunch and have a dozen oysters at the Plumb restaurant on Main Street. I love oysters on the half shell! By the end of the day, a very strong weather system came through the area with heavy rain, wind gusts to 40 knots and thunder and lighting. We were safe and secure on Serenity, but Emily did not enjoy the storm at all. The storm finally cleared out about 7:00 pm and the rest of the evening was very peaceful. Tomorrow the weather is supposed to be stormy so we will stay here on Monday and leave on Tuesday morning heading for Charleston.

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