Rainy day = Lazy Day

Slept in until almost 9 today. Paisley woke me up because she wanted to go outside. I took her on a walk. Five minutes into our walk and it starts dumping rain, I forgot a rain jacket. I was far away from the boat and started running as fast as

An adventurous day

Tom and I probably got an hour of sleep each last night. When the tide dropped the boat was fully on its side and you could see the mud. I wish I would have jumped down and taken a picture. Tom kept falling out of his bed so he slept

Update: I’m scared

Well… The tide went down and we are anchored in around 1.8 feet of water. Before Tom dropped the anchor, I told him we are in 3.3 feet of water according to my depth finder on my phone, it’s been pretty accurate so far. He said there’s no way. It

Wrightsville Beach NC to North Myrtle Beach SC

We left the Marina at 6:30 am this morning. I was tired, but we wanted to make it down to North Myrtle Beach before dark. I was tired, but it was worth it to get an early start. The current was in our favor today. We got lucky because apparently

Wrightsville Beach

Slept in today until 8:30 am. It’s crazy that it feels like sleeping in now. I normally sleep in until 10-11 am. This morning we saw a beautiful rainbow. It was a gorgeous day. We decided to spend an extra day in Wrightsville beach. We deserved a day to rewind.

Swansboro NC to Wrightsville Beach NC

I was woken abruptly around midnight by the blaring sound of a horn and flashing of lights. I was worried last night that we anchored in the middle of the ICW because the GPS was saying we were. I noticed it on the chart after the anchor was dropped. Tom

Oriental NC to Swansboro NC

We slept in today. Tom woke me up around 7:30 am. He made breakfast for us. A poached egg on an English muffin. It was nice having a sit down breakfast this morning. I took Paisley for a walk while Tom did some tidying on the boat. I walked around

Come Sail Away

Woke up early. It was super foggy. We pulled the anchor up and Tom’s hand were covered in mud, way more than the other places we anchored. It got all over the place, the deck is a mess from it. I was at the helm and navigated through the fog.

Sailing Through North Carolina

Woke up at 6:30 am this morning. I got some much needed sleep last night and went to bed super early. We crossed the Albemarle Sound. We picked the perfect day to cross. I read in the waterway guide that Albemarle can get choppy sometimes. It was very warm and

Headin’ South

Tom woke us up at 6 am. I didn’t sleep well at all. I got severely nauseated by the smell of the diesel fuel from the engine room. It’s inevitable when changing a fuel filter. The fumes linger. I didn’t think to keep the hatches open when I went to
