Bob is ready to go! He left today for his flight down to Florida to help Tom sail the boat back up to Virginia. As much as I wanted to go on another sailing adventure, work has started picking up again for Rich and I. We had a farewell sailing
We made it home safely yesterday. Rich picked us up from the airport. The dogs were all very excited to see us. It’s good to be home for Christmas and spend the holidays together.
Slept in today. I’ve decided Tom and I have a nickname. It’s “run aground Sue”. We got stuck in our anchorage and were so firmly on the ground we had to have towboat us tow us out. The guy knew exactly what to do and apparently he frequently has to
Woke up at 7:30 am and pulled the anchor up. It’s a lot warmer today and was very pleasant. I was at the helm a lot today. It was fun. There were a bunch of dolphins swimming right next to the boat with us. We averaged about 8 knots today.
Woke up this morning and we were stuck on the ground. I was livid because my NOAA charts on my phone and Tom’s iPad said we dropped the anchor in 12 feet of water at mean low water. It’s normally extremely accurate, but not this time. Tom said the boat

Rich got in last night at 11pm. He was exhausted and we went to bed. Nobu and Juneau both slept next to me on my berth. We woke up around 8 and hit the road. When we got to the gas station the car started making crazy motorcycle sounds. We
It’s been one year since Joanne passed away. She was the best mother in law anyone could ask for. She was hilarious, witty and so fun to be around. We were all shocked when she passed. None of us were expecting it. She is deeply missed. I will never forget
We tried pulling the anchor up and leaving the anchorage. The steering was still not working. Tom tried working with it for a couple hours and we decided to call Towboat US. He needs a new part for the steering. We had to wait for a tow for a couple
