Cobb Island to Annapolis (July 16 – August 13)
From Cobb Island we continued up the Potomac with great anticipation. The Hutch-ica celebration was about to begin! We stopped off at Tantallon Marina in Ft. Washington for a week before continuing to the main event.
While there we were able to v…
Leaking Window Repair Update
I thought I would repost this and bring things up to date. In recent weeks, the windows that were repaired previously began leaking even worse than before we had the work done. I decided to fall back on the old saying, “If you want something done right…
Going Home – Saturday, July 24, 2010
We got up early and threw lines off at about 7:15am to start making our way home. We had several contingency plans on how to navigate our way based on conditions – basically, all this means, is that we had “bail out” locations in mind that would get us off treacherous waters. Once we passed […]

On July 4, we cruised on M/V Hawkeye with Terry and Kim around Solomons Island and anchored in the Patuxent River to wait for the fireworks. As luck would have it, the Coast Guard cleared all the boats anchored in front of us and we ended up with the f…
Macinac Island – July 23, 2010
With weather creating rough seas, we decided to hunker down in St. Ignace for the day. This didn’t mean that we couldn’t take the 20 minute ferry ride over to Macinac Island though! We arrived around lunchtime and immediately found the Sea Biscuit to eat at. It was fabulous food and very good beer! The […]

On Saturday, July 31, we cruised further north and down the Sassafras River, which was lovely with nice houses and bright green manicured lawns and gorgeous flowering shrubs, to Georgetown Yacht Basin. This is a weekend boater’s paradise with over 120…
Back to St. Ignace – July 22, 2010
We left the group around 7:30am to start making our way to Drummond Island (customs check-in for US), and then continuing on to St. Ignace. Scot’s weather report showed that seas would be picking up, so we wanted to get the best water we could be leaving early. Once we rounded the island, the seas were […]
Croker Island – July 20-21, 2010
Well, I guess I was getting tired of taking pictures! Crocker Island was a great time, but I left my camera on board when we did our dinghy rides! Partly because I didn’t want to get it wet, and partly because I knew I was missing some of my faculties and that it was entirely […]
Little Current – July 19, 2010
We pulled up anchorage at Covered Portage Cove and headed for Little Current and the municipal marina. We didn’t need fuel or pump out, but we did need to fill up the fresh water tank – we were down to about a 1/3 of tank. We could have managed for many more days, but you […]
