The Red Head crew woke to 61 degrees in the galley. For this crowd, that’s cold. Dylan and Dee Dee don’t mind, they’re built for it. But poor Dora, with her almost naked belly, is not.
We’re waiting in Morehead City while yet more bad weather passes by. The crew had a bit of excitement when a large Nordhavn pulled down the narrow fairway and into to a slip just down from Red Head.
Dee Dee and Dora made sure they knew who owned the dock.
Yesterday a Dad changed the spark plugs on the dinghy. Friday the Red Head crew plans on going offshore overnight. That meant that Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora had to help a Dad test out the dinghy by taking a ride. They love dinghy rides. 💕
The Red Head crew woke yesterday to quiet winds and calm seas. We pulled anchor and headed to Morehead City.It was a great day. Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora even spied some dolphins.
It’s been a tough couple of weeks for the Red Head crew. First, they were at Atlantic Yacht Basin for a week or so, with few options for fun, waiting for a window to move to River Dunes. Then severe weather offshore created high winds causing Red Head to tuck into an anchorage a couple hours away from River Dunes. After days stuck on onboard, Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora are going a bit stir-crazy. So are their mom and dad. There’s a chance the crew could leave tomorrow as the winds are settling. Everyone has their fingers crossed.
Red Head has spent a week back at Zimmerman Marine having engine maintenance and a few other small projects done. Mom and Dad have gotten a few more things off their to-do list.Boatyards are certainly not the best places for the crew. Mom has been taki…
It’s almost time for the Red Head crew to leave DC. Everyone has had a great time here at the Capital Yacht Club. Mom and Dad because they were able to visit lots of new places in DC and places they hadn’t been to for a while. Dylan, Dee Dee, and Dora because they were able to have that routine dogs love.
The morning starts with Mom taking Dylan for a long night walk on The Wharf.
That’s followed by Mom taking Dee Dee on a long walk.
Around that time, Dad takes Dora on a long walk to the dog park where she hopes to find her new best buddy, Stella. If not, she can always chase a squirrel instead.
The new DC Wharf is lovely with so much to do right here and a short walk away on the DC Mall. Everyone on Red Head is a little bit sad to go but the crew has new adventures waiting.
We still don’t know what day Dora was born. Her dad choose 9/9 as her special day. His explanation is here. It doesn’t matter. Today is the day we celebrate our littlest crew member. She had a good day. Dad took her to the dog park and then there was a little birthday party on Red Head.
No birthday party for a 2 year old would be complete without cupcakes with sprinkles.
Yum!
Happy birthday sweet girl!
Dora’s best dog park buddy, Stella, has been gone on vacation with her people. Dora sure missed her.
Well, Stella is back and the girls are making up for lost time. Dad captured it on video.
Mom noticed Dylan was being watched from one of the high-rise condos we pass each morning. When the little cutie was still there when Dee Dee walked past, Mom snapped a pic. Wonder who has to clean the nose prints off that window.
Dylan and Dee Dee may not join Dora on her dog park trip but they are still enjoying visiting DC. So what is their routine?
Mom heads out early before the heat really kicks in. First, she takes Dylan for a walk along the waterfront at The Wharf. There are long piers to visit, side streets to explore, and lots of people saying how cute he is. Note the Washington Monument in the background.
Then it’s Dee Dee’s turn. The kids let Mom know when it’s time to get out of the heat and back to the blessed A/C on the boat. This morning things had cooled after a fierce storm last night so the walk was longer than it has been.
There are plenty of trees and posts and planters so Dylan and Dee Dee can send and receive their pee-mail.
There are even fire hydrants.
Of course, Dora thinks it is all terribly unfair that she is left behind. No worry, her dog park time is coming.
