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…
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…
Since we made it Annapolis earlier this year, we wanted to explore further up the Chesapeake. After researching possible destinations in the Upper Chesapeake, we set our sights on Rock Hall, Havre de Grace and possibly going through the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal into the Delaware River. Havre de Grace, MD is a little…
Since our last post, we’ve rebounded from engine and fender challenges. While we were licking our wounds and getting Nymeria back into cruising form, we were also planning out our expectations for the rest of the summer. Even though we made it to Belhaven, NC almost a month earlier than last year, we needed…
