Five days into our trip to Charleston, we’re enjoying a spate of gorgeous weather – sunny skies, flat water, variable light winds, current going our way for the most part, when an engine room check comes back with less than stellar reviews. The s…

Back by Popular Demand…..
Good morning my patient friends!It’s been over a year since I last shared my life with you and MUCH has happened during that time. A sincere thank you to those who asked if I was ok, to those who demanded I get back to this blog, and to those who…
Mt. LeConte
Over the past 10 years, November has been a month for moving Idyll Time south to warmer waters. The Atlantic ICW is busy with boaters of a similar desire. The waterway can be very congested and marinas may be full so reservations are always suggested. We have also used November to take a boating break […]
Ocracoke to Bald Head Island
Ocracoke to Morehead City: We time our departure this morning to exit Silver Lake just after the two car ferries depart. This way we won’t have to worry about meeting the ferry in the narrow and shallow channel. Looks like eight other sailboaters have the same idea. We delay and let the sailboats get out […]
Manteo to Ocracoke
Casting away from the docks just as the sun is starting to rise, we retrace our steps out the skinny water of Shallowbag Bay and pick up the Roanoke Sound Channel. We follow this narrow but well buoyed channel for about ten miles as we work our way south between Roanoke Island and the Outer […]
Manteo
Lutz Creek to Manteo: After a pleasant night at anchor in Lutz Creek, we continue south crossing the Albermarle Sound before the winds pick up. Once across the sound, we leave the ICW and take a hard left toward the Outer Banks. Our destination today is the historic town of Manteo on Roanoke Island. We […]
Back Aboard
After four months on land, the crew is back aboard Idyll Time and looking forward to getting out on the water. Other than a few cobwebs, we found IT in good condition. Hurricane Mathew caused major flooding here at Atlantic Yacht Basin a few weeks ago. The docks were all under two feet of water, […]
Krogen Rendezvous 2016
The fall boating season is rapidly approaching. Before heading back aboard Idyll Time we make one last trip in the RV to attend the 27th annual Krogen Rendezvous which is held each year in Solomons Maryland (more on this later). We decide to break up the trip with a stop in Damascus, VA. Damascus has […]
RV Trip to Lake Champlain, VT 2016
Day 1-3: We wanted to take a break from the summer heat in TN so we loaded up the Winnebago RV and headed towards Lake Champlain, NY for a couple of weeks. Primo has never been on a RV trip so this too would be a acclamation adventure. We’ve always wanted to explore this […]
Our last cruise
After being dropped in the water of the Delaware we say good bye to the vessel that transported Le reve across the Atlantic, and we are on our last cruise to Annapolis before offering her for sale.After a 6 hou…
