We have been on the boat for over a month now and really starting to miss the grandkids and the gym, I broke my toe and have cut my own bangs (the last two are not very pretty). Really still loving Maine, but Sommes Sound, Mt. Desert is pro…

Mystic Seaport, Here We Come!
Monday dawned a bit overcast but with enough sunshine to do our engine check with confidence. Our planned departure was around 8, when the line handlers came on duty. Once Tom looked at the weather, we hurried up our pre-departure routine a…

Before I go much further into our trip, I forgot to introduce you to Serenity’s new little sister. We finally bought ourselves a dinghy to use with our fancy Steelhead davit. It is not just any dinghy I might add. Since he was a littl…

2012 Cruise, Part II
On the 29th of July, Big Run was gracefully slipped back into the water. This past Friday, August 3rd, we did a short sea trial and I am proud to say everything checked out okay (or not). The work on Big Run continu…

The 2012 Grand Finale

Worth Repeating
June 30 – July 4, 2012After we had finished our “business” in the Green Turtle Cay area, Wayne asked me where I wanted to stop next as we continued our move northward. The answer was easy, Powell Cay. We had not stopped there for several year…
Block Island, R.I. to Gloucester, MA – and some sights along the way.
We had a nice weather window for a couple of day runs, so on Sunday the 22nd we decided to start heading north. Two problems – 1. When Rick and Izzy went to shore for one last puppy pumpout they found a dinghy floating near Broulee and no s…
