This was the last previously untraveled portion of the Great Loop for us. This leg would bring us right back to the Statue of Liberty, where we’d “entered” the Loop over 12 months previous. Emotions were running high with the uncertainty of living in a post-Loop environment. We suspected problems reintegrating ourselves back into society,…

For the record, the Chesapeake Bay is enormous. Way bigger than Long Island Sound, or Narragansett Bay, or probably than both of them combined…times 3, probably. We only stopped at a tiny fraction of the anchorages available. The weather all spring was a touch cooler than I’d have expected. I think it was an odd…

As far as the ICW is concerned (that’s the Intra Coastal Waterway), North and South Carolina look pretty darned similar, well actually, not really, but whatever.  It seemed like this trip up the coast was a bit chillier than I would have thought. We didn’t really have a lot of hot days and the nights…

It turns out that Georgia is a dissssstant 3rd when it comes to peach production in the US. Personally, I don’t care much for peaches. They get bruised too easily and I don’t like the “hairy” texture of the skin. I also remember as a kid peaches sometimes having worms. I do like Peach-Os though,…

I know it’s been a while since I posted last. You’re just going to have to deal with it. I don’t have a great excuse…not even a decent one.

I love this part of Florida…well, I love pretty much every part of Florida after doing this whole boating gig. But the Miami – Ft Lauderdale area is even more special than most. Lots of boats. Lots of mansions. And LOTS of money here, which all translate into lots to see. You know, stuff that…

I think when Milton wrote ‘Paradise Lost’, he was describing the day he left the Florida Keys after spending the whole winter there. Well, I certainly get it. Leaving was about as traumatic an experience as I’ve had in a long time. There was kicking, screaming and full-on bawling my eyes out. But I’m better…

Archeologist love hunting for old relics. Conspiracy theorists crave searching for the truth. Lots of dogs enjoy chasing cars. Fact is, everyone has something that turns them on. Typically, those ‘turn ons’ are found in dark, musty corners of the internet, but for me, they’re attached to long sunken boats….Yes, for some reason, I like…
