Land Cruising

With our boat, Idyll Time, in winter storage until spring, we are now land cruising aboard our new RV. In November, we purchased a 24 foot Winnebago View. We call her “Miss Daisy” in honor of Daisy, our Sheltie who just passed away. In many ways it is similar to boat cruising only now we […]

Spanish Virgins: Cayo de Luis Pena!

We left just before dawn on the overcast morning of January 20th, to take advantage of the light winds and calmer seas as we headed east. It was spectacular to slip out of the harbor beneath the looming promontory of El Morro, then head east along the …

We are having a good time in Altos Del Maria Panama

…and What a Party it Was!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ever since our early August trip on Long Island Sound, Tom and I have become insatiable cruisers.  Luckily for us, our dock neighbors are just as insatiable.  During one of our regular Friday night food and drink fests, we cooked up a raft up…
