We stayed at the Inner Harbor Marina right in the heart of downtown Baltimore, also known as Charm City. Although known for being the most dangerous city in America right now due to the number of shootings, we felt safe there as the marina had a security gate, a police station right on the premise … Continue reading Had a Blast in Baltimore
Annapolis surprised us with how much we enjoyed it, we spent five days here and we didn't get enough. It is an intense boating area, and with the Naval Academy nearby it has a sense of excellence everywhere. It happened to be Commissioning Week at the Academy, which added to the vibe, with lots of … Continue reading Annapolis – Sailing Capital of the US
We traveled with two buddy boats to cross from Solomon’s across the Bay to St. Michaels. Winds out of the west with waves 1-2 ft, so beam seas creating a little rocking and rolling but sunny and beautiful weather for cruising. It was everything you'd imagine boating in the Chesapeake to be, deep blue water … Continue reading A Chesapeake Classic
There are over 30 stops on the Chesapeake Bay and we have only a month's time to cover the Bay and get a feel for the area. We missed out on two of our stops due to being weather delayed in Norfolk by 3 days. The winds and rains really dictated us extending our stay … Continue reading Into the Fog
Cool but sunny day traveling to Norfolk, MM 0, the beginning of the Chesapeake Bay. The route from Coinjock required that we get three bridges opened and lock through one small lock. We weren't able to time the bridges right, even with help from the Aqua Maps, so we were delayed at all three. We … Continue reading MM 0
We've just about completed the Georgia and Carolina segment of our trip (as far as the blog goes). Everyone says the best is yet to come and we find that hard to believe! We have just loved every mile of this journey. We find wonderful people and beauty in all of the places we stop, … Continue reading En route to the Chesapeake
We left Liberty Landing in Jersey City on a sunny day and said goodbye to the Manhattan skyline. We left later in the morning so as to travel with the current up the Hudson River. This leg of our trip to the Erie Canal is about 138 miles subject to tidal changes of up to … Continue reading Roamin’ Round the River
Beaufort, NC pronounced (bow-fort) is the third oldest town in NC. Sometimes referred to as the Southern Outer Banks. It's a popular destination for tourists and second home owners who populate the town during the summer months. This once active seaport is not only loaded with history, but today offers restaurants, sites, museums, and galleries … Continue reading Beaufort-by-the-Sea
Nancy was second guessing her choice of destination on this leg, each time we passed a marina she would say "oh, we should have stayed here" and I kept saying "the one you picked will be great". The rock pile is a several mile stretch of river with underwater rocks on both sides that you … Continue reading Myrtle Beach
Traveled 38 miles today on the ICW, with sunny skies and no wind to speak of, it was pretty much a carefree cruising day. The shores of ICW in NC are lined with many beautiful homes each one with its own long dock to the water. The waterway had some shallow spots (shoaling) at the … Continue reading Cape Fear River
