#36 July 2011 St. Simons Island, GA – Shelter Cove Marina, Hilton Head Island – Isle of Palms, SC

We began the month of July in Shelter Cove Marina, Hilton Head Island, SC, and are loving being here.  Never would we have expected to find ourselves in SC in July but after 102 degree days last July in Washington DC, we decided to take our chan…

Georgian Bay, Byng Inlet…..rustic….

Continued difficulty with loading pictures. When we have a good signal, will upload more pics for the last few days.Perfect weather again today. We left the harmony of Hopewell Bay and carefully threaded through the rocks and between the buoy…

Gore Bay, Manitoulin Island, North Channel 7-25-11

We arrived here on Wednesday, 7/20 surrounded by heat and humidity that just would not let go, so we decided to take the weekly rate option of $7.60 per foot. As attractive as the island anchorages are to us, it is more important right now to have elec…
