Our son Sean and his Fiancee, Amanda, gave us our first Grand Baby on March 31, 2020. Knowing that Eve was due at the end of March, we planned to leave ROAM at a marina in Tortola, BVI in mid-April and fly back to the states to help Amanda, Sean, and Eve get settled together….
At the end of April, we returned to George Town to watch the Bahamas National Family Regatta
The only thing we’ve missed about being retired is getting to spend time with good friends we have made over the past 30+ years through the business. Earlier this year, we floated the idea among several friends that we would love to have a meet-up in April and we suggested the Turks & Caicos as…
We left ROAM safely tucked away at Brunswick Landing Marina in Georgia and headed back to Texas for the holiday season. Michelle, the Dogs, and I piled in to our new/used car and headed out for a wonderful but busy land adventure. We really enjoyed time with friends and family, though looking back, it seems…
We had absolutely no plan to go to New York. We spent a New Years Eve at Times Square in the 80’s and figured that was enough of NYC for a lifetime! Well, in cruising, you have to expect the unexpected…Once we passed through the Cape Cod Canal, leaving New England in our wake, we…
Wow! I can’t believe I went through the entire summer without making a single post to this blog. I started the summer cruise with a resolve to keep it up to date, but when I fell behind, I rationalized with these excuses: (1) No one cares what we’re doing and besides, (2) I’m too busy…
We left the Ragged Islands and headed up to Long Island, traveling along with our good friends, Mark & Michele who are aboard their Manta 40, Reach. The wind has us penned down, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t have time to enjoy what Long Island has to offer. The four of us rented a…
I wrote several posts as we cruised throughout Nova Scotia and Newfoundland this year and perhaps I’ll go back and add another post or two to highlight photographs that we feel represent the experience we had. This post, though is really meant to be a recap of our overall thoughts on cruising in Nova Scotia…
Though we met and dated briefly while living in Houston Texas, Michelle and I agree that our life together began in Annapolis Maryland way back in 1986. I was managing the Annapolis office of Backyard Boats and when Michelle moved up from Texas, she took a job working for a bank in downtown Annapolis. We…
Our good friends Clayton and Deanna, owners of the Nordhavn 50 TIVOLI, left Fort Pierce recently headed south to Marathon on an overnight cruise to test their systems in preparation for our upcoming cruise to Bermuda and then on to Nova Scotia and points north. The weather was right to get some drone footage of…
