More Canada
We have just returned from Canada and I thought I would post some pictures. The second half of our Canada trip was visiting the Canadian Maritimes, specifically Prince Edward Island (PEI), Nova Scotia, and Cape Breton.
Summer in Canada
After spending the month of June visiting family and friends and seeing all our doctors, we took off to Canada. This past winter season in the Bahamas we met and befriended several cruisers from Canada. They all invited us to visit them this summer. Having never been to eastern Canada, we decided to take a trip […]
Back From the Bahamas for the Summer
We spent most of April and May cruising around the familiar Abaco cruising spots, Guana Cay, Man-Of-War Cay, Little Harbour, and Treasure Cay. Even though our major boat leak repair is fixed, we still had some problems with some of our electronics when Satisfaction was returned to us in February. I am not sure why […]
Back on the Water
I have not posted to my blog in about 3 months because, frankly, there has not been much to talk about. Our major boat repair was completed in Mid-February, but we have been dealing with other boat issues.
Temporarily Stuck on Land on Elbow Cay
After a couple short cruises on the Sea of Abaco, Satisfaction developed a slow leak coming from the back of the boat that was difficult to find due to the boat liner. We had to have Satisfaction hauled out at the Marsh harbor Boatyard to try to locate the leak. After checking all thru-hulls and […]
First Cruise of the Season
For the last month or so we have been making some repairs and smaller upgrades to our Beneteau 41-foot boat, Satisfaction. Finding someone to make repairs here in Hope Town is not difficult because there are many boaters here that can fix almost anything on a boat. This is good for us because we are […]
Back in Hope Town
It has been awhile since I posted anything, but we have been very busy getting our new boat ready. We took possession of Satisfaction in Miami, FL in early July. A friend and I moved the boat from Miami to Stuart, FL where he made many upgrades to the boat until mid-August. At that time […]
The Cost of Traveling in Italy
I got a couple inquires about our experiences traveling in Italy this past spring and summer. The inquiries were mostly about what to expect in the way of the costs when traveling in Europe. I cannot provide any guidance about the costs to travel in Germany, France, Spain, or other countries that we did not […]
Homeless No More!
When my wife and I sold our home in Annapolis, MD in the spring of 2012 and decided to live on our sailboat, many of our close friends and family hinted we would regret selling our beautiful Annapolis home. And everyone else we knew just thought we were crazy to live on a boat; and […]
Southern Italy
After leaving the Bahamas at the end of March, we spent about 10 days in Florida visiting family, friends and preparing for our second trip to Italy. To get to Italy we decided to take another trans-Atlantic cruise. This 13 day cruise stopped in Funchal, Madeira, Gibraltor, and Alicante, Spain before our final destination at […]
