After a month of being on the move, we arrived in Portsmouth VA with the plan to spend the month in one place in order to get some things done. We could settle in a bit and not have to batten everything down daily, run through checklists, and the mental gymnastics of daily route planning. […]
Cruising may be a leisurely lifestyle, but it most definitely is not a life of leisure. It didn’t take long to figure out the difference between the two. As we headed into the final leg of our trip up the Atlantic ICW to Norfolk we were fine tuning our own style. In general, the pace

We passed Mile Marker 483 as we continued along our way up the ICW into South Carolina, which for us was the halfway point between our destination of Portsmouth, VA (MM 0) and our departure from Fort Pierce, FL (which was MM 966). In the two weeks we had been cruising, we had already learned

It’s been a quiet couple of weeks in Lake WeBeGone… Sorry. That might be more of a Minnesota joke. But seriously, it’s been a couple weeks of admin, waiting, a day of Boat Excitement, more admin, more waiting, and a psycho squirrel encounter. We moved up to Fort Pierce last week, about two hours
I didn’t expect this topic to be a two-parter, but I guess that’s all part of the adventure. Turns out, the complications described in my last post were just the appetizer. But first, the good news: WE FOUND A BOAT! More on that later, but needed to get that out because it precipitated how a
