More on the Trent Severn Waterway
Today’s voyage on the Trent Severn Waterway has brought us to many new lakes and through some very interesting locks. We left Bobcaygeon this morning at 8:05 am and have traveled across Sturgeon Lake, to Sackett Bay, then to Balsam Lake, Mitchell Lake,…
Trent Severn Waterway
Wow! It’s been 10 days since we updated this blog. We’ve been very busy covering very little ground, in terms of miles, but we have seen alot and have been through no less than 30 locks – phew. In fact, we’re a little tired of locks at the moment.So, b…
New England Krogen Rendezvous
As June’s dismal rains finally relented, harbors throughout New England saw the arrival of a collection of Krogens of all shapes & sizes. They were all edging their way towards Block Island’s Great Salt Pond in preparation for the New England Kroge…

Dr. Jayaraman with yours truly pre-procedure. Side view, notice the dimensions on the side of the frame (XL). This unit locks into a receiver that eliminates all movement when the gamma knife is in operation.I realize that Connie has already sent out …
2009 Cruise begins…
We left Portland, Maine last week and stopped first at the Isles of Shoals, a small group of islands off the New Hampshire coast near Portsmouth.The weather cleared and we’ve enjoyed the first prolonged spell of sun since May.As we crossed Massachusett…
Steering – Technical Stuff
The yard have taken the rudder shaft out and had a large Woodruff key cut in it. This will keep tiller arm fixed. The tiller arm itself is new and will be attached to suit the new steering (the Woodruff key locks the tiller arm to rudder shaft).We fina…
Thousand Islands
Where to start? Lots has happened in the past week and it was all good, except for maybe the weather ….. which was up & down. Barry & Laura arrived after a long wet drive from NY and met us at the Horizon 1000 Islands Club Marina, which is a…
Heart of the Heroine
Now that the main engine has been installed, along with the generator, the exhaust sytems and cooling systems are going in. The exhaust for both must go up all the way to the top of the boat, and out through the chimney, or perhaps “funnel”, at the to…
Out Of Abaco, In To Florida
We’ve really enjoyed our 5 days fully exploring Elbow Cay and Hope Town. Normally we’re in and out the same day. Our marina at Hope Town Hideaways is a perfect quiet retreat. Hammocks strung between palm trees, lush landscaping and manicured lawns, and an outdoor shower enclosure under a huge tree, created a charm that guarantees our return.
But it’s time to point EUROPA north and backtrack through the islands with some new stops along the way. We’re only one of two boats that stop at the new posh development, Bakers Bay Club on the north end of Great Guana Cay. When completed, it will be the most upscale, and most expensive marina, golf course, and residential enclave in the Abacos. http://www.bakersbayclub.com
We had to stop again at Grand Cay and stock up on more giant stone crabs, and we were not dissappointed!
Unlike our inbound visit to a desserted Old Bahama Bay, our outbound visit found a full house resulting from a Marine Max Cruise In. Although we like spending time here, tomorrow’s weather forecast suggests a gentle crossing back to Florida; so we set the alarm for a pre-dawn wake up and hope for the best.
