An 88 year old Brit crossed the Atlantic in this raft…with four others. They arrived in Eleuthera just two days before us, from St Maartin. It took 28 days. No propulsion, just one sail. But they do have a LOT of electronic gear. (View Post…)

#15 – Prince Rupert, Dundas Island, Foggy Bay or Ketchikan?
The weather is great inside Baker. Who knows what’s going on outside as radio communication is zilch inside here. Today will be a repeat what has worked out so far: continue as far as the weather lets us, knowing there’s a storm out there s…

Several of our cruising friends recommended stopping at Delaware City DE, located near the east end of the C&D Canal and next to two major shipping channels at the north end of Delaware Bay. Such a stop makes good sense as it shortens the trip down DE Bay to Cape May, NJ by an hour […]
#13 Back on the Inside Passage
It’s been a fun digression, cruising a bit off the Inside Passage the last several days. Now we need to make time to Ketchikan. Last night the temperature at our Roscoe Inlet anchorage dropped to near freezing. On …
The Chesapeake Bay Reprise
Cruising through VA offered enjoyable familiar sights and remembered runs to catch bridges with strange (and inconvenient) opening times. Passing through the first of hundreds of locks on this trip (at Great Bridge) took us on to the industrial outskirts of Norfolk… and after a night at Ocean Marine, very nice (new to us) marina […]
#12 Incredible Roscoe Inlet
This past few days we encouraged the Seeker crew to visit Bella Coola and Eucott Bay and they seemed impressed. Nevertheless, all week long they’ve been ranting and raving about Roscoe Inlet. Today the Wild Blue crew followed Seek…
