Storm Cells
We are in Edenton for a house tour this weekend. So far the hot ticket has been the weather. Edenton’s docks are exposed to the south and, as luck would have it, all the weather is coming in from the south. makes for bumpy ride at the dock but that’s OK. We get interesting clouds. […]
It’s the ICW all the Way
We have never done the ICW from the zero marker in Norfolk VA., to Key West and back. Somewhere, somehow along the way we typically jump out off shore and go past some of the worst spots. It’s just the two of us and we tend to limit our outside run to …

It is an almost pristine wilderness a few minutes dinghy ride from where WInd Horse is anchored. And if you get lucky, there are some wonderful critters to observe.
These include cruisers who would rather be off a […]
Hanging Straps
Our aft mooring cover doubles as a cockpit bimini. We have a stainless frame that attaches to the cockpit gunwale to support it. When we’re not using it, the frame sits around the perimeter on the cockpit sole, where I often stub my toes on it.I made…
Whirlwind week and onward!
Just so you know, we haven’t exactly sat still since we’ve returned to Jensen Beach, our home port, a mere week ago. It feels like a month, with all the ground we’ve covered! We’re going to be land-based for a bit these next few months, so are beginnin…
