A visit to our nation’s capital is not complete without a visit to Arlington National Cemetery. We completed a walking tour of the Cemetery which was officially designated a military cemetery in 1864. Veterans from all the nation’s wars are buried h…

Meandering through North Carolina to Virginia
Greetings from the mouth of the Alligator River! We are once again at Miss Wanda’s, the marina behind the Shell gas station!! Assuming the predicted weather window, we cross the Albemarle Sound tomorrow and leave North Carolina behind… but that’s the end of our NC story, the 2010 version of which really began about two […]
Florida to South Carolina on the ICW
It’s been a month and a half since our last blog page, and I am not completely sure why it has been so long …. but we have been busy … lots has happened. We left Charleston, SC this morning, hoping to anchor tonight in Awendaw Creek near McClellanv…
Landfall at Tanya’s in North Carolina!
It is hard to believe it is May 19th and we are in North Carolina already, at our friend Tanya’s beautiful ICW “B&B” in Wilmington, no less!! Sorry we haven’t made any posts to the blog since our departure May 1st… We’ve had great weather, albeit very hot in Florida, and so after the first few, short […]

It is May 1st and we underway!! We are in Titusville (yes, yet again!) after a good, though hot and long day on the water. We had hoped to get to New Smyrna today, but the heat and what turned into an almost 2-hour detour to get fuel at Harbor Town Marina on the Cape […]
Friends and Family in Frigid Florida

We thought keeping Sojourner on the east coast would facilitate more time on her, and we had visions of sharing weekend cruises and overnight anchoring-out adventures with […]
DC Cherry Blossom Festival
We arrived at National Harbor Marina on April 6 a few days before the conclusion of the National Cherry Blossom Festival. Much to our disappointment, we learned that the ‘peak’ bloom was about a week earlier but we thought there might be enough blo…
The Potomac River
Cruising the 100 miles of the Potomac River from the mouth at the Chesapeake Bay to Washington, DC at our cruising speed of 6.5 knots takes a couple of days. The river is very wide almost to DC and the channel meanders from one shore to the other as y…
Offshore Beaufort, SC to Norfolk, VA
We left Beaufort on an outgoing tide benefiting from a push down river that increased our speed a couple of knots. Shortly after leaving Port Royal Sound we encountered choppy seas, not quite the 1 foot long period swells that were forecasted, but als…
Back in the US ….back in the US ….back in the US of A!
We have arrived home! Always good to be home but oh my …. what an adventure we had and how we shall miss being in the Exuma Islands. I never in a million years would have contemplated doing something like living on a bateau for two months in the Baha…
