We had a lovely pizza dinner with our friends from Bobin last night, and prepared to clear out on Sunday morning. I woke up, finished doing click2clear, and figured out how to pay for our cruising permit. Those of you that have done this before know it’s not the simplest thing out there! Our route…

So this week, our two big something’s are that our anchor light isn’t functioning properly (Gah electrical gremlins!!) and that unbeknownst to us, our batteries have reached end of life. We had thought we might be going to the Bahamas on the weather window on Monday, but now we will stay in Palm Beach to…

**and this was to be posted Dec 2. Hopefully we are getting the snafus all figured out! Man we have had a crap two weeks. No blog written last week. It’s a struggle to find the gratitude and thankfulness. Everyone is activated, everyone is stressed. I’m not sleeping. We did not leaving the dock at…

**this is another possibly out of order post due to WordPress struggles. It was supposed to be posted Jan 13. The anchor held overnight. Thank heavens. We were pooped! This week we are spending some time in the cute little town of Beaufort, NC. It’s totally adorable. The dolphins right off of Two Fish’s transoms,…

**I am having difficulty with wordpress the last two weeks, with both photos and uploads. Apologies for this post being out of order, late, and possibly duplicated. We are initiated into passage making. We have survived going around Hatteras, Diamond Shoals, and Cape Lookout with its shoals. For Chris and I, this is a trip…

Happy holidays everyone! We feel like we have worn old Stuart out. We have grocery shopped, done laundry, walked, dinghied, and Ubered. Chris and I got up in the middle of the night to see a rocket launch! (Wren slept through it) Neat to see the rocket from afar, and it also explained the odd…

After saying good bye to our dear friend Amanda, and a Walmart stop for more bread and milk, the weather window was here for our next jump south. I’m gonna be honest, I cried. I did not want to leave the comfort of old friends. Our buddy Kevin drove up from Sunset Beach to see…

There was ice on the dock this morning. Brr. We are bundling up in all our clothes, and are thankful that the sun is shining. But it is really really cold! Wren and I went with friends to go see Moana 2 in Williamsburg. You guys, I have never seen a movie theater this fancy!…

Happy thanksgiving everyone! We made new friends this week (hey s/v Salty!), got invited to not one but TWO thanksgiving dinners, had someone lend us their car to get to one of those dinners (seriously, our buddies The Brayfields are the bestest of people), and geared up for some cold weather. We have reverse cycle…

Week of Nov 17, 2024. We returned our rental car this week. Yes, we know we will be here for a while longer but the cost really adds up! I think both of the adults had some anxiety about being car-less. (Well, this one did!) We did some provisioning before returning the car, took one…
