Idyll Time Spring Launch: 2011

After several delays, IT is finally back in the water and resting snugly in her slip at Grand Haven, Michigan. Jeff and Sebastian made the trip solo from Chattanooga to get IT ready for our 2011 cruising season. Due to Nate’s injury, I stayed home with the birds for this trip giving Nate some extra […]

How Sweet It Is

     When we left the marina on Monday we went to one of our favorite gunkholes, Millstone Point on the west fork of Langford Creek.  Being that it was a holiday weekend, there were 3 boats still on the hook in the area of Mill…

Solomons – this journey’s end

It was 96° yesterday and nary a breeze – since when is it August in Maryland? For the first time ever, we ran the generator (and air conditioning) all night, otherwise, it would have been stifling. On our cruise today, we crossed the mouth of the Poto…

On The Road Again

     It seems like an eternity since our last blog entry.  Since that entry, we have been very busy with more boat work.  Like we don’t get enough of that!  One of the major projects was the installation of a watermak…

Portsmouth

We were anchored in Broad Creek last night, but didn’t see any frogs (remember last time here we had a few hitch-hikers), but we did hear thousands of them. While the frogs made no physical presence on the boat, the same can’t be said of the mayfli…

Near Nowhere

Really – the nearest “thing” is the Coinjock Marina and it’s 12 miles away. We’re anchored in Broad Creek, which is a lovely, protected anchorage just off the Albemarle Sound. Today’s transit of which, was also lovely – a following sea, such …

Near Belhaven

We left Morehead City around sunrise, going through the Neuse River, the Pamlico River, the Pungo River, and a few canals. Our anchorage tonight is in Scranton Creek, which affords protection from the wind in every direction except the west. Amazingly,…
