Cyprus stories

  It’s 8 PM and we’re all ready for bed.  Unfortunately the marina bar/restaurant just next to where we are docked has just come to life.  The music isn’t screaming and is kind of a mellow sound so maybe we’ll all…

Arrived in Israel

Just to let you know we had an easy, smooth passage and are docked at the marina. Have lots of chores to do to get settled in. Will write more later. Ru

Leaving Cyprus

  This is my last email from North Cyprus; at least for this visit.  One never knows if we will return.  We certainly made many friends here.  You know you have made friends when you leave tears behind at good-bye.  We should a…

Happenings on the Hudson

Heading north to Canada I do not really define as cruising, not at this time of year, anyway. It is an enjoyable motor trip nevertheless with lots to see. We are now traveling on the Hudson River. It is 300+ miles long and flows from north to south th…
