Before loading up the dingy we gave Bo a ride in it. I think he is going to be a real sailor as he liked the ride and steering the boat.

Solar panels installed
Well we are back on the boat!!! Above a couple of pictures from the solar panel installation. 6 panels of 100 watt each were installed and we see a charge of 5 to 6 amps flowing in our battery bank even at a total overcast day. When the sun…
Chill Out
There are 2 reasons we have returned to the “north” aka Maryland. First, because the insurance company requires us to be north of Cape Hatteras by June 1st, the start of hurricane season. Secondly, we expect to find…
Lake Michigan: June 2011
Grand Haven to Pentwater: Today is our first day out on the water for 2011. We are always a little anxious for the initial shakedown cruise of the boat. Even though we have checked and double checked everything, you always wonder if the long winter storage will cause something to malfunction. Before heading into Lake […]

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…
AIS
We are on our way into the Chesapeake, off Virginia beach, in the dark, in heavy squalls. The rain comes down in buckets. We have several AIS targets but most are not a concern. We here a “securite” call on the VHF, a research vessel is doi…
Little Bay (off Fleets Bay)
We went to dinner in Portsmouth at a place named Still. The menu looked promising (they feature “tapas”, which really means petite portions and has nothing to do with Spanish tapas), as did the Yelp reviews. Many of the combinations sounded very cr…
