on a mooring, Kelly Cove, Norman=E2=80=99s Cay, BVI=E2=80=99s. Off and cruising again!

on the wharf, Hampton Public Pier. final prep for our run to British Virgin Islands. carousing with the Salty Dawgs

on the anchor in Indian Creek, VA. Here to see Hank and Seale. Onward tomorrow.

on the anchor in Solomon=E2=80=99s Island. Overnight here, then south. Quite a bash getting here, but then a good sail

on a mooring at Oxford, MD, at the Tren Avon YC. Saw Wayne and Sue, now on to Solomon=E2=80=99s Island, MD this a.m.

on a mooring at Annapolis. watermaker fixed (finally). SSB working, too. so onward! planning to go to Oxford yet this afternoon.

finally back in the water, finishing up the painting was delayed by rain associated with Matthew. SSB is better, still waiting on watermaker work. But all is good, expecting to be in Hampton, VA on schedule (26 October).

now hauled out at the Oak Harbor yard. Bottom painted, prop adjusted and greased, ready to go back in the water this afternoon or tomorrow a.m. Weather permitting, still the bottom paint touch-up to be done. =20

anchorred off Oak Harbor Marina/Yard, in Pasadena, Maryland. we=E2=80=99ll haul out the boat on Monday, to paint the bottom, and a =E2=80=9Cfew other things=E2=80=9D (it=E2=80=99s a boat, after all). some friends are still here, and others are coming to visit. optimistic about the yard, etc. expect/hope to be back in the water in less than a week. all good!

anchorred in the middle of the Sassafras River, Maryland again I think. after a run up and through the Delaware/Chesapeake canal, and down to here. very calm and quiet this eve. tomorrow=E2=80=99s travels should get us to the haulout yard, etc.

an un-dramatic run down along New Jersey, and now about half way up the Delaware Bay. at anchor in Cohansey River mouth, just down stream from a nuclear power plant installation. should be a good place to catch 3-eyed fish.

anchorred off Sandy Hook, New Jersey, near Atlantic Highlands. Had a good run down through the city, pretty impressive. We were there for the high-security following the recent explosions. the west side of the East River was closed off, so we were held back a bit from the city. But many awesome and iconic sights and names. NYC has been a force in our pop culture for generations. lots I recognize from Monopoly and Mad magazine. an easy run through Hell Gate, we caught it at slack water. Down the Jersey coast tomorrow, looks like very mild conditions, afraid we=E2=80=99ll be motoring again.

on a mooring (free!) in Manhassett Bay, NYC. Just a few miles from the entrance to the East River, and NYC. Grocery store accessible!

in Lloyd=E2=80=99s, Huntington Harbor, New York (Long Island). On the anchor

in New Haven, Connecticut. Anchored just inside the breakwater. Peaceful evening.

in Mystic, Connecticut. On a mooring, and spent two days at the Mystic Seaport Village museum. Always love that stuff. Now on, further west! Long Island Sound to NYC.

anchorred outside at Cuttyhunk, Massachusetts. Nice small town, got a plate of the local oysters from the Raw Bar/Dock.

finally away from New Bedford. final score: teeth fixed, one pulled. watermaker working better, but some still to go. no success with having the engine checked, but it=E2=80=99s doing OK. no problems, and minimal inconvenience, from Hermine. and we had a good time! crossed over through Woods Hole (fierce currents) to Vineyard Haven, on Martha=E2=80=99s Vineyard island. anchored here as a cold front passes. a very fun spot!

on a mooring, New Bedford, Massachusetts. came here to get our watermaker fixed by the local Spectra reps. also found that acceleration is slow on the diesel, probably the turbo. so we=E2=80=99ll have that looked at, too. also hurricane/now tropical storm Hermine is nearby, so we=E2=80=99re waiting on its passing. and getting some long-delayed dental work done. etc. New Bedford is a working waterfront, dominated by the fishing fleet. has an amazing whaling museum, more scrimshaw than I ever imagined. rum featured in the local taverns, also craft brews. and quahogs! probably here through Wednesday . . .

on a mooring, Mattapoisette, Massachusetts. feels like we escaped the coming cold in Maine just in time. here mostly to get our watermaker fixed. and also found that there’s a compass adjuster who lives and works here, he’ll be aboard later today to do this. finally found the mysterious leak in the aft head area yesterday. the joys of boat life! and also found, and I think understood, 3 more in the engine bay! and it’s Sunday, so some boat cleaning. All good!

on a mooring, Provincetown Harbor, Massachusetts

anchored for a night or two, inner harbor, Gloucester, MA

on a mooring at Portland Yacht Club, into the weekend

lingering here on the anchor. Starting south on Thursday, heading towards the Chesapeake
