Monday, May 19, 2014 – 9:30PM – Leg 32/Day 50 – 30.0 Miles Absolutely glorious weather over the weekend. I had shipped a bunch of parts to the marina and they were waiting when I checked in. So over the weekend I spent the time replacing a lot of clips, hook, trim, and electrical connections. I pulled some new wire and started sanding some deck wood to get it ready...

Friday, May 16, 2014 – 7:00PM – Leg 31/Day 47 – 22.9 Miles I was going to run down the shipping channel but after spending the night and seeing all the traffic, I figured the day time would be worse and decided to cross the channel and hug the land on the Eastern side.

Tuesday, May 13, 2014 – 9:00PM – Leg 28/Day 44 – 27.8 Miles Today was a very short travel day. The weather was calm until the afternoon, but I had already dropped anchor. The wind picked up at that point and the anchors held me steady and its calmed back down for the evening. It’s just absolutely lovely out at the moment. BBQ on deck, caught some fish, and now...

Monday, May 12, 2014 – 8:30PM – Leg 27/Day 43 – 41.9 Miles I’m not sure which I prefer more now. After a few days on open water, I seem to be craving the canal experience. The sights change more often on the ICW and there is more that captures your attention. The open water is beautiful, but the time passes much more slowly. there is more traffic to be aware...
