Nervous
We left Manteo and had a beautiful windy 60 n.m sail to Ocracoke. We averaged about 8 kts. We quickly toured the town (which was quaint) and decided to move on as we’re getting anxious to return to the comforts … Continue reading
Catching up
Since the storm things have been routine, but interesting and fun. We proceeded down the ICW and entered the “Great Dismal Swamp Canal”. This is a 22 mile stretch that looks like it came out of the movie Deliverance. It’s … Continue reading
Caught in the storm!
The following takes place 2 nights ago. Haven’t had wifi access since so couldn’t publish it then: We spent a peaceful night at anchor in the Antipoison River in Virginia, near Deltaville. No internet or cellphone service. Still in the … Continue reading

Exhibit at St. Michaels Maritime Museum I couldn’t post from Oxford because there was no wifi. We spent 2 nights there. Small prosperous town that looks like it should be located in New England (house style). It’s definitely not a … Continue reading
Tangier Island
Spent the day and night at Tangier Island yesterday. Wonderful, strange place. Population is about 700. Most people share the same last name. The island makes it’s living from crabbing and a little bit from tourism. The island can only … Continue reading

We’re in the Onancock marina now. Did we time things right. Tomorrow and the next day they’re having their “Harborfest”. If you’re interested in what this is check out the link www.onancock.org. We’ll be here 3 nights then will be … Continue reading
Onancock
We left the dock at Chesapeake early yesterday. We were the only boat locking through at that time. The lock brought us down about a foot. Almost didn’t seem worth it. We spent last night at Willoughby Bay. It turned … Continue reading
