4-3-00

Today was a good day. We left Marathon at 7:30 it takes nearly 30minutes to get out of the harbour. We traveled 43 miles to Islamorda, FL. The charge for the night stay is $58.00 and no email service. The temperature was 84,winds 15mph on the nose, East slowing us down below the normal 6 .3 miles per hour.<BR>
We cruise about 1-2 miles off the keys. There are many islands beside the inhabited keys. Mona was a great help doing the navigating.

4-3-00

It was a good day. We rocked and rolled. The winds were SE 15-20 with larger gusts. We sailed most of the day thru large bays. We had planned to only go 20 miles to Jewish Fish Creek but we were doing so well we kept going to Dinner Key Marina in Coconut Grove in Miami. I started here 6 years ago with Shotty and Denny (Kirkwood). With Mona with me instead of the guys we went to an Italian restaurant for excellent food instead of Hooters. It is exciting to walk thru the Coconut Grove area where most speak Spanish are beautiful and younger than any of my four children. We had problems docking in the strong winds but did no damage. We resolved to plan better next time. We are having a tough time deciding what to do tomorrow. Costs here is only $36.

4-4-00

Today was a layover day. The 17th St Bridge in Fort Lauderdale is closed for repairs until Apr 6 so we can't go north. We will leave tomorrow and stop just short of the bridge at City of Hollywood Marina. Tonight we had dinner with Jim and Barbara. Jim performed our wedding ceremony. We hope the municipal Marina in Hollywood is as nice as here.

4-4-00

Another day in paradise! Can you believe that we got out of our slip in Miami before I had my first cup of coffee? Leo thought that it would be a good idea to get underway before the 20 mph winds awakened. Smart move! Crossed the remainder of Biscayne Bay early, and then past some beautiful homes and high rise buildings. Oh, what a difference of a week day vs week end makes when it comes to traffic on the ICW. By noon we were neatly tucked behind another Kadey Krogen(SABO). We had eaten lunch with Sandy and Bob the day before leaving Marathon. It is always welcome to see a familiar face standing on the dock to catch your lines.This afternoon was spent relaxing and taking a walk to the ocean. Then dinner with a friend from Marsh Harbour who lives in the Ft. Lauderdale area.(Larry)

4-6-00

Another 56 miles good miles. Fantastic scenery with million plus dollar homes and condos. I backed Snug into the slip at North Palm Beach Marina. We will wait for Chris to bring Ferial here. We reward the cook with a night out tonight. Snug continues to operate for us like she did for Elaine and Bob, GREAT. The stress is getting less as we build our confidence.

4-8-00

It was a good day except a small tear on the window screen. I got close to another boat's bow anchor and a gust of wind caused Snug to get too close. Sorry Elaine and Bob. Mona says she can repair it. We made 47 miles to Fort Pierce. Just 400 miles to catch up with son Bob in Savannah. Doable but close. Scenery was different today more wild life less multimillion dollar homes. Nightly chore is to rotate the satellite antenna for the TV. Today I did it on the first try.

4-9-00

Will take advantage of nap time for Leo to write a log for today. He is just catching up on some lost sleep last night. We awakened to strong gusty winds about 2:20am. After checking the lines and adjusting fenders, the plan was to put out more fenders and add another spring line. This done with the desired results of keeping the boat off the dock, we crawled back into bed. This morning the wind had shifted from the West to the North, the temperature had dropped: the wind velocity had not, so we settled in for a day of reading the newspaper, watching basketball, and golf on TV and doing a couple of tubs of laundry. We are to meet Bob, Leo's son in Savannah on April 15th. This puts up a day behind schedule. Tomorrow we will plan a long day in hopes of doing a bit of catch up.

4-10-00

Out of the slip about 7am. This seems to be the schedule that works nicely for us. We tooled along at the usual 6.3 knots per hours. This morning the GPS would not come on. RATS! We flipped every combo switches we could think of. Checked all connections--dead. Luckily we could see all the markers that we needed. During the day we saw quite a few dolphin, but they gracefully come over to check us out and then decide that we just don't offer enough wake to be fun, so off they swim in hopes of finding one of the awful sports fisherman power boats that throw enough wake to knock you out. Docking this evening was picture perfect. It is about time that I got the program. Leo immediately set about diagnosing the GPS power problem. After a call to Skipper Bob and a bit of tracing of wires he had that little electronic gizmo working. What a relief. Showers are taken and the news is about to start. So good bye for another day.

4-11-00

Another day, another 63 miles. The weather was perfect, sunny with less wind. I was able to scrub the pilot house floor and wash a fender while watching dolphins, manatees, and all sorts of winged wildlife. Those pelicans are greedy birds, literally stick their heads into fishing boats looking for handouts.<BR>
We are in Halifac Harbor Marina in Daytona, Florida. Will zap this off before a quick shower and dinner with friends from our marina in Marsh Harbour.

4-13-00

Another good day. We are in St. Augustine. We are having dinner with my cousin Zike Oxberger and Deb. Last night we had dinner as guests of Ann and Dick Cunneen at the Chart House. Dinner was good ;companionship the best. The scenery was diverse with many sightings of dolphins, a manatee a variety of houses from multimillion dollar, to shacks, with a number of camp sights with mobile homes. We were on the Indian River most of the day so we had good protection from the l5 knot east wind. Now we are on the Tolomato River.

4-13-00

We made 58 miles today. We are Amelia Island just north of Jacksonville, FL <BR>
The weather turned very poor about 2pm and we arrived at 4pm. We had 20 mph north winds temperature dropped 10 degrees and visibility was poor. But we are getting more confident and stress level is getting less. The scenery again was varied with wild life many miles of grassy lands and varied homes along the river. The forecast is for several poor days of this, hope not.

4-14-00

We are socked in by weather in Amelia Island, Fl just north of Jacksonville. We were to meet son Bob in Savannah on Sunday. If we could get out tomorrow we would be 70 miles short of Savannah on Sunday. So Bob is taking the train to Jacksonville. Then the problem is to get him to us at the Marina The marina is good and has a courtesy car so Mona can go to Wallmark, but is not available to go to Jacksonville.
4-15-2000
We solved our problem. We rented a car for 3 days at $10.00 per day. We will pick up Helen and Bob in Jacksonville 7:47 am. We are hoping Zeke and Deb will be able to spend the day with us. In the meantime we are shopping. The weather is improving and we could go but it makes more sense to wait here to pick up Bob & Helen.

4-16-00

We picked Bob & Helen up at the Amtrak station in Jacksonville. We left the dock at 1100am and got into Golden Isle on St Simons Island, GA about 45 miles. We had good weather and no problems. We are enjoying this more and more.

4-17-00

We are in KilKinney Creek Marina 23 miles south of Savannah, GA. We continue to go thru a marshy area. It was 85 sunny with no fog. We made 64 miles today. No problems. We put the Air Conditioning on after taking Bob Reib advise using a 50 amp splitter to avoid the no see-ums. We heard from Chris (Lonesome Dove) He and Ferial (my sailboat) made the gulf stream crossing. I will go to West Palm Beach to join him for a day after we reach Savannah tomorrow. That will leave Bob, Helen and Mona to see the sights.

4-20-00

We are staying in Savannah until Sunday. Mona spent the day putting stuff I brought from Ferial away on Snug. Bob, Helen and I spent the day touring Savannah again. It is a very interesting place. The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) have worked with the community to restore many old buildings. The students do the manual labor for money payment. They also man the restaurants and bars. The are many people living downtown. The old department stores have been restored into loft apartments. Downtown is a very lively town after dark. We ate lunch at Mrs. Wilkes Boarding House. She is 97 and signs her cook book and greets all customers and rings a bell when lunch starts and says a short prayer. About 12 people sit around several tables and 20 huge bowls of vegetables, salads and meat are passed around the table. It is one fantastic lunch. The city has several squares with monuments to historical figures. The streets are lined with oak trees with spanish moss dripping from the trees. It is near the top of my favorite cities in the US.

4-21-00

Another day in Savannah. We left the boat at 8am via local public bus about a 30 minute ride. We had scones and coffee at a Tea Room. It had been a pharmacy for 70 years and opened two years ago after the SCAD college had restored it to its original beauty. It has a huge chandelier beneath a Tiffany skylight. The original soda fountain was a dark wood. We walked the squares looking at the beautiful parks and lovely homes. We spent an hour at the "Book" gift shop with many items from the book Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. We ate lunch at the Boar's Tavern on the River and walked the waterfront looking a large ships.

4-23-00

Sat was the last day for Bob & Helen. We continued to walk downtown Savannah with Bob taking the usual 40-50 pictures. We then loaded them to a CD disk. Today (Sunday) we moved to Beauford, SC known as the hidden city. It is a lot like Savannah and Charleston but smaller with fewer tourists. My two cents worth: This morning the heat was turned on briefly, but the rest of the day was sunny and pleasant. Weather for the next couple of days doesn't seem to be as good. We may be here a day or two extra. I will spend the time walking the streets and looking at the beautiful old houses.

4-24-00

We stayed put in Beaufort, SC due to weather. Winds were forecast for 20 knots plus with possible thunderstorms. It is 5pm and both are true now. Weather is forecast to repeat tomorrow so we may be here another day. We have decided to skip Charleston as a stop and save the visiting until next year when Bob and Helen may join us again. We spent part of the day walking Beaufort and looking at restored mansions similar to Savannah. It is a quaint town Which we will look forward to visiting again in the future. The rest of the day I created CD from our photos and Mona baked cookies.

4-25-00

Winds today have been 25mph so we remained in Beaufort, SC. Tomorrow the winds are forecast to be 15 mph so we plan to move north. We explored the area until lunch which we ate at a restaurant patio overlooking the bay and the city park. The Arts in the Park activity featuring live music made lunch special. This afternoon I spent the time going over charts for the trip on north. Mona as usual kept busy making our home very comfortable.

4-26-00

We are at Buzzard's Roost Marina near Charleston. We did 63 miles today. We had to wait an hour for the electrician to repair a bridge lift. It was a pleasant day mostly sunny cool 65-70 aprx 10 mph NE winds. Scenery about the same. We saw a deer and a few mansions but mostly rivers thru marsh.

4-26-00

This is the 2nd email of today. Generally when we get in after 5pm it is necessary for me to compose a quick memo because the office often closes at 6pm. Also I feel pressure to quickly send the email because the phone line is usually the business line to send credit card info. When we arrived at the marina the wife was the only one working so no one helped us with securing the boat to the dock. We did it well. We had two problems today. One the depth sounder didn't work. I traced the line and found the fuse holder had deteriorated over time. So I made a direct connection and will install the fuse holder when I can purchase one. Shortly after docking I smelled an electric fire. We immediately shut the power off. Mona figured that the tube sending propane to one of the burners had slipped off so the propane was loose and lighting another burner from one she was using. The handle of the pot she was cooking dinner in was over the other burner and was very hot. She repaired the problem. We make a good team.

4-27-00

We made 67 miles today to Georgetown, SC, Georgetown Landing Marina. It was one of our better days overall. We enjoyed the change of scenery greater variety. We saw an aircraft carrier in Charleston, several US Army ships in the middle of no where. The homes are not mansions but very nice with a lot of variety. We saw a forest fire that left soot on the boat. We have a CD changer that holds 10 CD's and we have three of them so we can listen to music for several days and never hear one tune twice.

4-28-00

Small craft warnings seemed like a very good reason to stay put here in Georgetown, SC. We broke routine and walked in the rain to a restaurant for breakfast. I did a couple of tubs of laundry. While waiting for the clothes to tumble around and get clean, I grabbed my book and read a couple of pages before curling up on the sofa and taking a nap before noon. What a lazy bum I have become. As I tried to pry my eyes open after my nap, Leo suggested that we walk into town and look around. It was not raining now and a walk sounded good. We looked around the little town that has many houses built in the 1730s. Then we wandered along the waterfront looking at the beautiful potted flowers all along the boardwalk. Since I hadn't done anything worthwhile this morning, I did not want to break the record, so when Leo suggested that we eat at one of the several waterfront cafes I agreed. The afternoon has been no more productive. We have read, worked on the computer, and in general enjoyed our lump day. For those who are not familiar with the term, lump day, let me define it: a day when you are just a lump of protoplasm aimlessly going with the flow.

4-29-00

We are Crickett Cove Marina north of Mrytle Beach, SC We are a couple miles from North Carolina. We made about 45 miles today. It was one of our better days. The Cypress trees lined the river. It remained me of the Land of Sky Blue Waters. The homes are different many manufactured and trailer homes. In Mrytle Beach area there is alot more wealth and better homes. We are glad we waited a day. Although we didn't get the severe thunderstorms forecasted for our area it was heavy rain 20 mph winds. Today has been sunny and light winds.Now to basketball playoffs.

4-30-00

We only went 48 miles today. Quitting early I was able to see part of the NY Knicks basketball game. (They won) Since I have been a lifetime Cub fan that gives me the right to support a winning basketball team. So I am now a Knick fan not a Bull fan. We hurried to get to the pontoon bridge opening at 8am. It only opens on the hour. It is the only pontoon bridge on the ICW. The center piece is totally free and it moves in and out of its place under its own power. Most of the day we motored thru narrow rivers with summer homes on their banks. The weather was ideal including the wind. We motored for 4 hours thru Cape Fear Sound. It is an ocean inlet so we had ocean swells at first. We motored along side of very large ocean going ships. We had one sportfishing boat fail to slow down in his pass of us so we really rocked and rolled. Another one wasn't going to slow down until our pleading got him to slow down. We are across the basin from Caroline State Park at Waterfront Villas and Yacht Club near Carolina Beach, NC.

5-1-00

Fifty-one miles and stopped at 2pm and lost an hour waiting for a bridge opening. I didn't get the GPS info in soon enough to permit me to gauge our travel time. We missed the timing by one half mile but the bridge tender would not delay the opening for minutes so we waited an hour. We saw a lot of tree damage from the hurricane last fall, today. Many docks were in bad shape still. We are on the outer banks of North Carolina at Swan Point Marina in Sneads Ferry, NC. We hope to make Oriental tomorrow night weather permitting. Water color has changed from coffee color to more blue green. We saw a lot of osprey feeding their new young. When we left the dock the morning it seemed clear enough, five minutes later it was too foggy to go so we turned around and five minutes later it was clear enough to travel.

5-2-00

Today was an exciting day, not from a danger point but for a change of activity. It was like we were in a war zone. For over an hour we had helicopters overhead, jet fighter buzzing near us, Hugh bomb explosions close by. It seems the intercoastal goes thru US Marine Camp Lejune for 5 miles. So when firing practice is scheduled traffic on the ICW is stopped. Fortunately for us we were a half mile past the targeted area. We were still in the 5 mile zone but out of the target area so we got to see the full activity. We started the day late for us at 830am. The 70ft boat behind us had us blocked in. It had two owners and 3 crew. The boat was owed in the 40's by Howard Hughes. One of the owners is Dave Graham from Grinnell, Iowa. Both of the owners are antique dealers in New York City. Due to our late stop we were unable to make a bridge opening and had to wait 23 minutes. The weather worsened as the day progressed so that it was raining and wind was 20 mph when we pulled in at 230 pm in Morehead City, NC a distance of 43 miles. We were happy when we were safely at the dock. We borrowed the courtesy car and bought a month's supply of groceries at a super market locally. I continue following the basketball playoff games so my evening is set. Mona reads her book or watches part of the game.

5-2-00

Short day, only 22 miles. We are in Oriental, NC a delightful town. The trip was pleasant until we got to the Neuse River. The winds were 15 k from the NE and the trip across the 3-4 mile wide river was rough. We may be here for a few days if the winds don't reduce. That wouldn't be all bad. I backed Snug into a slip with a slight cross wind on the first try. I may yet get the hang of handling a trawler. Sailing skills don't automatically transfer to trawlers. We have less then 200 miles to go to the Chesapeake

5-4-00

The winds remained 15 NE-E so we remained in Oriental rather than experience an uncomfortable ride up the Neuse River. We are glad we did. We rode our bikes around the area and totally agree with the cruising guide's description:<BR>
Whoever came up with the motto "Bigger is Better obviously never visited Oriental, NC. Framed by the rivers and streams of lower Pamlico Sound, Oriental faces the Outer Banks with a soul linked to the traditions of coastal exploration. Even today, this humble fishing community embraces the cruising sailor with celebration and reverence. This is a bike and walk-about town where people wave and smile and offer their company for a spell. The population is small only about 1000 and most would like to keep it that way. Cordial barroom banter can quickly escalate to calls to rid the area of those "damn Yankees" who keep buying Oriental waterfront. But even that is more good-natured than anything else (or so the Yankees would like to think) The settlement lacks many of the conveniences of a modern city, and that's much of the charm. In Oriental you move on at your own pace-or not at all."

5-5-00

Fifty miles today in 7 hours at 2000 rpm. We had the current with us. We are at Dowry Creek Marina near Belhaven, NC. We have only 131 miles to the Chesapeake Bay. We really enjoyed today. We went 25 miles on the Neuse River, one of the four most hazardous bodies of water on the ICW, and it was a piece of cake. Yesterday would have been miserable. Patience has its virtue. We crossed a huge Pamlico River and Pungo River. Tomorrow we are accepting Skipper Bob's advise and going the Dismal Swamp route instead of the normal North Carolina Cut. He says it is more picturesque. We love Dowry Creek Marina it has a pool, and a delightful dockmaster, Suzanne. We arrived here at 130 PM that gives us the whole afternoon to relax and prepare for tomorrow.

5-6-00

I thought we were going to spend our first night at anchor. But our luck held out and we are Lamb's Marina just north of Elizabeth City, NC. We went 80 miles today. We left at 6 am and arrived at Elizabeth City at 4:15pm.We had to wait until 5:30 for the bridge to open. We have two locks to go thru tomorrow and the schedule was such if we stayed at the marina before the bridge and waited the opening of the bridge in the morning at 930am we couldn't make the lock openings and would have had to anchor tomorrow.night. We had great weather today the winds were variable 10 knots or less becoming west in the later afternoon. We had open water most of the day and couldn't see land much of the time. The afternoon west wind caused some minor rocking and rolling as they on our side. Tomorrow we should be in Norfolk, VA

5-8-00

Yesterday we stayed the night at the Navy Marina in Norfolk, VA. The telephone line was not working properly so we were unable to send email. Yesterday was our best day on the trip. First we went thru the Dismal Swamp Canal. It was built following the Revolutionary War by hand. The surveyor called the area Dismal but we found it beautiful. We were surrounded by green. The canal is only 50ft wide with trees on both sides creating a canopy. The banks had black raspberries in bloom. During the trip we had only one other boat with us, near isolation to enjoy the beauty. Arriving in Norfolk was just the opposite we had every Tom, Dick & Harry out in speed boats water-skiing, personal watercraft etc. It was unbelievable. Plus we had battleships, destroyers, aircraft carriers, etc. Also we were near downtown with tall buildings. It was something. The day before our trip was 86.8 miles, yesterday was 47 and today 48. We are on the Chesapeake Bay at Deltaville, VA. Tomorrow we will be at the Solomon Islands, then Annapolis, MD. Mona is pretty run down physically and we probably will take a few lump days for her to get back to her usual self, so our trip may be delayed.

5-9-00

Today we veged out in Deltaville. I changed the oil & filter on Snug. We watched "My Best Friend's Wedding"and read. The cruising guide describes: "The village of Deltaville occupies a tip of land stretching into the Bay sandwiched between the Rappahannock River to the north and the Piankatank River and Fishing Bay to the south. Its easternmost tip is Stingray Point, believed by some to mark the spot near which Captain John Smith, the English explorer, was hurt by a stingray while fishing.... Deltaville is worlds away from city stresses and hustling tempos; in fact, those terms seem obsolete here. There is nary a stop light and few stop signs, for that matter...there is a stretch of main road along which are located commercial and civic endeavors."

5-10-00

We are still in Deltaville. Winds are SW 20-30 and we are under a severe thunderstorm warning. Tomorrow winds are forecast NW 10-15 diminishing to 10 or less. Mona is much better and we plan to go to Solomon Island tomorrow. It has been a pleasant interlude to spend these two days doing little of nothing.

5-11-00

I did something today I didn't expect to do. I went to the dentist. While eating breakfIast my crown came off. Otherwise the day was another lump day. Winds were forecast NW 15-20 with 3 ft seas so we stayed in Deltaville. Tomorrow's forecast is better. Last night a storm came thru we were on the edges. Report of quarter size hail were around us but we were spared. Mona and I walked to town for breakfast. She is feeling much better.

5-11-00

We made 54 miles today. We are at Solomon's Island that once was an island until many years ago by hand the connection point was filled with oyster shells. Mr Solomon was the settler of the area. I recommend reading James Mitchner's book Chesapeake. This a lovely area. We had SW winds 10-15 mph all day a little rolley but tolerable. It is 85 and the A/C is on.We received email from Tom in Marsh Harbour someone broke our driver's side window in the car and cleaned out all our storage of Fancy Free.

5-14-00

We arrived in Annapolis, MD yesterday. The Marina (Eastport Marina) was closed for the weekend so no email out until tomorrow. The trip was 49 miles on the Bay in fog with first, one mile visibility improving until 1030am, then hazy. The wind was NW 10-15 with 1-2 waves and threat of thunderstorms. The storms didn't come until night and were not bad. When we arrived in the Harbour about 100 sailboats were in an international regatta. Bob & Elaine spent a couple of hours visiting with us. Then son Bob & Helen joined us for dinner out. We plan to spend a week here, then on to New York.

5-16-00

Yesterday we stocked up for the summer at the commissionary and PX at Fort Meade, MD. We had dinner with Mona's Aunt Betty in Silver Springs, MD. Today we drove to train station where we took the Metro to Natural History Museum where we met son Bob. We saw an IMax movie about the Galopodos Islands in 3 D. It truly was like being there. We saw the Viking exhibit and then went to Roselyn to the Newseum the Gannett Foundation's new museum devoted to the Freedom of the Press. Helen joined us for Prime Rib dinner. Now to basketball.

5-19-00

5-22-00

We are at Summit North Marina 5 miles north of Chesapeake City, MD, We are nearly thru the C & D Canal. Tomorrow we go down the Delaware Bay to Cape May, NJ. I feared that since we hadn't cruised for over a week perhaps Mona's skills might have slipped. Fear not she is still the best crew I have ever had. We spent Sat with Bob & Helen in Baltimore viewing the Inner Harbor well worth the trip. The weather was cloudy with drizzle and cool. Yesterday we toured Annapolis together. We had a great time with them. Today was not a good day on the water. It rained all day was 56 degrees 15 knot winds on our nose and 3 ft waves at times. But other than things being rolled to the other side in the main salon all was well nothing broken.

5-23-00

Today was the most unpleasant day we have had. The last 4 hours were uncomfortable but not frightening. We started at 6am and finished in Cape May, NJ at 230pm. We finished the C & D Canal in an hour and spent the rest of the day down the Delaware River into the Delaware Bay. At first we were making 10mph with a 4 mph current. The winds picked up from light to 20 mph from the south. The waves started at 1-2 then up to 3-5ft. Temperature was maybe 60 and cloudy and foggy visibility limited to 2 miles. We had numerous large ships and barges to contend with. The next couple of days will be easier as we will be on the NJ waterway a protected passage.

5-25-00

We are spending an extra day in Atlantic City. Yesterday was one of the better days. We are on the New Jersey Waterway in protected waters. There was much waterfowl, marsh land, fisherman in the channel, skyscrapers, houses on stilts etc. We debated whether to bypass Atlantic City and go an additional 20 miles. It would have been close as a strong thunderstorm hit about the time we would have been docking. Winds today are forecasted for 15-25 NW so we are sightseeing.

5-26-00

We are Dale's Yacht Marina near Tom's River, NJ. Tomorrow we will be in New York. We left at 545am and arrived at 230pm and went 60 miles. Winds were 10-15 NW We were in sounds fairly large bodies of water but shallow with lots of fisherman. Nothing unusual today same scenery.

5-27-00

We are at Liberty Landing Marina a stone's throw from the Statute of Liberty. Great trip today. Started at 530am to get favorable tide and avoid as much of weekend traffic as possible. We arrived here at 130pm. We plan to take the ferry to the World Trade Center. The trip down the 2 mile canal thru the inlet into the Ocean 25 miles of open Ocean crossing and the entrance into New York Harbor is the most fascinating segment of the trip. The most potentially dangerous part of the trip was thru a RR bridge today. The bridge is located so you can't see oncoming traffic and there is only room for one boat thru. The current can be very strong and there can be a lot of traffic. There are many trains thru per day. We however had minimum traffic and current due to the early hour. Just after we went thru the bridge it closed and a speeding Amtrack train came over the bridge.
