Getting ready for another year of cruising:spring 2018

We are happy to be writing this blog back aboard Idyll Time. It was a good three week 3200 mile trip across the U.S. in the RV. A few days were spent in Colorado near Grand Junction exploring some of the smaller towns and wineries. The only snow we saw was atop Monarch Pass in […]

London Past and Present

London is a world-class city with modern architecture, a world financial center, and easy-to-see history going back more than two thousand years. We got a taste of it all on a clear day shortly after arriving into St. Katharine Docks. We started with the fabulous views from The Shard, completed in 2012, and stepped back…

[KensBlog] A new season begins!


Roberta and I are on the boat! A new season has begun!!!   That said we just finished today’s run, and it wasn’t much of a run. We only moved the boat about thirty-six miles from Anacortes, where the mechanics had been working on the boat, to its slip at Roche Harbor in the San Juan Islands. Not to say it wasn’t an exciting run. There are a few sayings that describe the pleasures of owning a boat, one of which is that, ‘Boating can be described as long periods of boredom punctuated by seconds…

Take a Tour of The Pearl

There seems to be a lot of people we know that don’t realize what our boat looks like (almost everyone, except close friends and family, think we sail). When we tell them we’re headed back to the boat for six months…they can’t imagine how we can live on the boat. I guess people think it’s a small daysailer. They ask questions like…where do you bath, do you have to eat all your meals out, where do you put all your stuff? They have no idea that it’s equipped with all the comforts of home. Well, almost all the comforts of home, we do miss our comfortable chairs. The Pearl doesn’t have the room Texas Pearl has, but we love sitting on the flybridge, relaxing and enjoying the view when ever we can. It’s the place we like to start our day, as well as end it.
