Sunday Morning And The Sun Is Shining

It is a lazy Sunday morning in Maine and having finished our coffees, caught up with a bit of news online, and launched both dinghies for exploration and exercise later on, we thought we’d upload a few photos.

We’ve been back in Camden for a few days, taking care of chores, and getting ready for guests. […]

The Climb Over Niagara Falls

(Sunday Aug 14 – Dist: 27.6 mi; Locks: 8; TTT: 9:50 hrs)

We got up early, 5:30 AM (no vacation today), in order to meet Dino at 7 AM at the pleasure craft dock below Lock 1.  Our hired gun was sitting on the dock wall, hair down to his shoulders,…

Cruising the Chesapeake

Well, Puffin is back in operation after our prolonged land-based stay in Vermont. We arrived to very hot weather here in the Chesapeake Bay and wondered why we left the somewhat cooler climes of Vermont. But, boat updates (new wifi antenna installati…

After Newark we continued on the Erie Canal until we came to the tiny town of Clyde. with a 2,300 person population.  They too offer weary boaters a free dock with power and water so, of course, we took them up on it.  Wh…

Man o Manashcevitz!!!  We had such a good time in New York—it probably isn’t legal to enjoy ourselves so much, but we did!
The drive to New York was not unpleasant.  To be able to say that when you circumvent Washingt…

Day 141 – Carolina Beach, N.C.

We arrived here in Carolina Beach yesterday and decided to stay over an extra day and rest up as well as ride bikes through the town.  Also, since it's Sunday, there will be more boats on the water.  This is definitely a beach community and rem…

Bad Fun – Good Fun

I awoke at about 5:00 am to what I thought was lightening. I registered that the wind was indeed blowing and it was raining. I was about to roll over and continue my sleep when the lightening happened again (no thunder). Hummmm, better look out…

Nananu-i-Ra

This is an accidental discovery on our part. No tour books or cruiser advice directed us to stop in Nananu-i-Ra, it just looked like a safe place to anchor on our trip back to Denarau.  After wending our way through the entrance reefs we p…

Back at Papagayo

We came back to the boat from Texas last Friday and brought Just Believe back to life. We had closed the large through hull valves and turned off all the power except for the refrigeration and the SAT GPS. I was worried that lightening might…
