As I write this, Tom and I are having the most unique Thanksgiving of our many, many years together! He is aboard Serenity (alone) in Morehead City NC, while I’m home (alone) on Long Island. Thanks to Hurrricane Sandy, the nor’easter and a multi-…

One Week into Her Trip South….
So hard to believe, but Serenity has been on her way for a week. The “boys” seem to be on schedule and sound like they’re having a grand old time for themselves. They certainly are eating well – Tom’s prowess at both the stove and grill com…
Day 3 Without Serenity
The crew arrived in Liberty Landing on Saturday afternoon, around 1:30. I think they planned to get there early enough to settle in for the football games on Serenity’s 42″ flat screen HD TV. To be fair, they were up early and had the lines off b…
Serenity Heads South
This morning dawned clear and bright – a very welcome change from our most recent weather, that’s for sure. It was a perfect morning for a boat ride – without me aboard! Tom and helper captain Mike were taking Serenity to Stuart, FL for her…

At 2:30 pm this afternoon, we have been officially without power for a week. Unheard of in our neck of the woods! Pre-Sandy, folks lost it if we were without power for more than a few hours! As strangers meet, the first thing asked is…
5 Days Post Sandy
Well, on Monday Sandy tried to knock Long Island down. Today is Saturday and though we are still without power and have empty gas tanks in our cars, we are still able to revel in the beauty of mid-fall.I took this picture from Serenity’s bow this…
Sandy Paid Long Island a Nasty Visit
Unless you live under a rock (WAY under a rock), you all know – or have experienced first hand – Hurricane Sandy was not good to Long Island. Much of the news coverage focuses on New Jersey and Manhattan – I don’t diminish their misery – but we a…
