With possibly two tropical storms on their way I figured it was time to replace the hatch gaskets. The old gaskets looked to be original so that would be forty years for this boat. Guess this job was a bit past due. This was not a hard job and took […]
When we got back, there were some new neighbors on an old trawler down the dock. They were a young couple with kids. They had kind of taken over the docks with clothes and other junk all over the docks, add to this the kids riding bikes on the dock […]
We left Monday morning to head back to our home base in Oriental. A hurricane was brewing offshore, and we had more work to do on the boat before heading south for the winter. We got off to a rough start as I somehow managed to get a line in […]
Monday morning we got off to a fairly early start and headed down the river bound for St. Michaels. We had planned to head to Annapolis for a couple of days but decided instead to check out St. Michaels as we had heard good things about it. It was only […]

After 7 months of hard work on the new Vayu we needed a break and change of scenery. We decided to head North for maybe a month or two. Teresa’s son was going to be married on the July fourth weekend in Virginia Beach so it seemed to be a […]
