🎶Come sail away with me🎶
Our trip here in the Abacos hits a bit differently this time around. We’re taking things a bit slower, hanging out with friends a bit longer, and just not trying to rush through this experience. We’ve been not trying to push to see all the places and do all the things, like we did…
We are so excited to make it back to The Bahamas. We are relearning how to embrace "island time" again, both in our expectations for how quickly things move here and in not putting pressure on ourselves to be "busy" all the time. We're just trying to soak up every minute.
We’ve had a wonderful holiday season this year. We were on the go throughout the month of December which meant that we got to take part of the sights and festivities in multiple cities. We started December while in Savannah. It’s one of our favorite places to visit and it’s even more impressive during…
Since our first trip to Savannah in June of 2023, we’ve been trying to get back. We fell in love with its rich history, distinctive architecture and numerous squares/parks. We decided to pass by Charleston, another of our favorite stops, to see Savannah all decked out for the holidays. We had a chilly and…
Now that we have lived on the boat with Starlink for so long, one major drawback has been its power usage. Because we like to have great internet connection at all times, we tend to leave Starlink running 24-7 unless we are at anchor for an extended period. Just having the device powered on…
We enjoyed our time in Southport, NC but we were there for a bit longer than we would have liked and through a good weather window to go offshore to Charleston, SC. Part of our longer stay was due to needing some time to recoup from our offshore passage but also to have a…
After 2 separate trips to Baltimore, for both fun and boat projects, we were happy-sad to be heading south again. This winter, we’re again heading back down the east coast and to the Bahamas. Though we’re still putting together our Bahamas route, we know that we want to try and maximize our time in…
We have been on the go since leaving Annapolis last December. Having made it down to the Bahamas and back up to the Chesapeake Bay, we knew that we had to address the boat projects that were piling up. Justin and I also needed to take a break ourselves to rest up and recharge…
When asking the locals if we should go to Baltimore, we got mixed reviews. Most said that we should go because it’s a fun time but others were concerned about safety when out and about, especially after dark. We had just started a marathon of HBO’s “The Wire”, so we could see where they…
The perfect culmination of cruising the Upper Chesapeake is to make a successful passage through the C & D Canal. The Chesapeake & Delaware Canal is 14 miles long and was completed in 1829 to connect the Chesapeake Bay to the Delaware River. This canal was originally conceptualized in the mid-1600s to more easily…
