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 […]
Palmetto Moon 2010-07-31 10:55:00
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 […]
Covered Portage Cove – July 17, 18 – 2010
We traveled back through Collins Inlet, through the Killarney channel, and ended up back at Covered Portage Cove. We really enjoyed this anchorage with Merrill, and so it was not a hard decision to go back with the new group. Plus, we really wanted to hike up the bluff for some more blueberries! Anchoring out […]
"ists" (very important) and more………
Welcome back everyone. Sorry for the delay, but we have been really busy. First, and most important, our “ists” gave us great news. Yes, the internists, dentists, dermatologists, gastroenterologists, opthomologist…
July 2010 Washington DC #24
The last 2 days of June and the month of July, we spent in Washington DC. We love this city!!! The Independence Day Parade from the steps of the National Archives was fabulous (and I’m not a parade aficionado). Words fail me in describing t…
