Washington, DC to Solomons, MD: 5/6/12 – 06/14/12

While the show schedule kept us busy, we found time to do plenty of touristy things in DC. Gangplank is a tired, old marina but it has lots of character(s) and it is perfectly situated for “doing” DC.  While it was about a 1/3 mile walk from our slip to shore, it was only another [Read More…]

Crossing our Wake – Finally!

Saturday, the 9th of June at 14:30 we crossed our Great Loop wake.  It has only taken us 11 years, 37 days and 4 and half hours.  Six thousand engine hours and 40,000 estimated miles.  In May of 2001 our beloved Broulee was off loaded at…

Paradise Found

June 6 – 8, 2012We left Clarence Town harbor right after breakfast, knowing we only had 10 miles south to go  to reach our destination of Little Harbour.  We would easily be able to get the anchor down and dinghy launched before lunch.  With the w…

Antalya

 June 7th we arrived in Antalya. Our first choice was to dock at the quaint old original Antalya harbor.However because it is a quaint old harbor it is used mainly by day trip boats. So we had to back track to the new Celebi harbor 3 miles west of…

So this cruising thing – some days are good and some days are not so good.

 The rest of the run up the Chesapeake was great – anchoring at the end of the day just short of the C & D Canal (Chesapeake and Delaware Canal) at Piney Creek Cove on the Elk River. The next day we were up early for the 14 mile trip thru the …

Plugging along.

After leaving Norfolk, I mentioned before, it was a pretty bumpy ride.  We made it as far as Back River and decided we couldn’t take it anymore.  Izzy does not do well in rough seas and neither do I, and you know it’s bad if the Captain says …
