June 4th Reedsville

Weather forecast hasn't been the best, most of the weather has missed us but hasn't been good out on the bay. Tomorrow we'll try to head for Solomons, will probably hunker down there for a few days from what we are hearing for weather right now.

June 1st

I believe the map link is working now. Let me know if it isn't.  We are in the Chesapeake. Anchored at Sandy Point near Reedville, Va. We'll be here a couple of days waiting for some weather to pass by.

May 30th

We've arrived in Great Bridge. Enjoyed good company through the Dismal Swamp, terrific weather so far.

Be sure to visit My Maps-Headed North 2013 for our current location. I'll try to keep this up to date. Just realized this may not work, will fix when we have better internet

May 25th Headed North

We cast off the lines from New Bern Grand Marina at 9:25 am. Headed down the Neuse for a 30 mile sail to Broad Creek just out side the entrance to River Dunes. Great spot to anchor.

February 7th Still enjoying New Bern

We are still enjoying everything New Bern has to offer. 

Mike and Pearl stopped for 2 days on their way south, what a nice surprise.

I went to Florida to meet my Sister and Rowley at my Mom's. Then 2 days at the beach, it was a little cold but we didn't care.

 Looks like big foot had been on the beach before us.

Linda picked out a great spot right on the beach to stay.

 

We've been busy exploring the Outerbanks, visting the Governer's Mansion in New Bern and working on the boat.  Time just seems to fly by.  It's been nice having the car so that we can go on road trips when ever we feel like it. We have a great community of friends here, getting together every morning for coffee, taco night is Wednesday, jazz night is Thursday.  And, of course oysters at MJ's on Tuesday.

 

Road trip to little Washingtion, where New Bern has bears they have crabs. We're trying to explore a few places to see if we want to visit them by boat.

 

Shriner's Parade, I've seen a few of these before but a whole parade of nothing but different cars.  They are having a ball even though it was a very cold day.

 

Oh by the way if you know of anyone that's looking for a boat, please let us know.

We aren't sure what the next step will be, another sailboat, trawler, land yacht, who knows.  Need to sell this one first and we are not in any hurry.

 



Dec30th Back in New Bern after Christmas with Mom

Returned to New Bern today after spending Christmas with Mom in Lakeland.
Had a nice relaxing stay, helped Mom with a few things. Visited an orange grove, can't go to Florida without getting some oranges. Also lunch with Ernie & Andrea, they came over from Largo. Always fun to see them. Trip down was straight through and one stop on the way back. We found a great Barbeque place called Dukes Barbeque in Walterboro, they even had a drive through. We'll definately stop here again.

 Sandhill Cranes on the golf course outside Mom's kitchen window.

Mom and I picking out tomatoes and oranges at the grove.

 History of Tuskegee Airmen

Monument in honor of the Tuskegee Airmen

This is an amazing story, just happened to drive by the sign for this.

Dec 20th Road Trip to Lakeland, Fl

We drove to Florida today and will spend Christmas with my Mom. Express trip down and we'll take our time returning poking around along the coast.  More to follow.
