Morehead City day 2

Dinner last night at Floyd’s was wonderful – we had their flash-fried oysters, one of the few exceptions we make to eating fried foods. Sherri had the Ahi tuna with collard greens and grits – the greens were fresh and sweet. This is really a great co…

Portsmouth, VA to Annapolis, MD: 04/23/11 – 05/25/11

We’re at Port Annapolis Marina on Back Creek in Annapolis.

Charleston summary

We had a whirlwind visit with our friend who lives in Charleston (actually nearby in Folly Beach – that’s a whole ‘nother place and story). We had a nice lunch, a couple of very nice dinners, did some shopping, and went to see the Low Country High …

Emily Arrives

Sylvianne is still in Taiwan, visiting Danny, Jon, Anelize & new grandaughter Emily!

Charleston (eventually)

Today is an example of how your best cruise planning can go out the port-light. Last Fall, we were heading south in November and took a shortcut across the shoal going into Port Royal Sound – it was clearly marked on the chart and we had plenty of wate…
