We’ve covered a lot of ground since our last post…let’s go! From Annapolis we traveled north towards Baltimore. Teri found us a quiet anchorage for one night, then on to Nabbs Creek Marina, home for our boat while we travelled…
Teri and I have covered a lot of territory since our last post. In the spirit of “less is more”, we’re going to cover Norfolk to the present, 18 days, as quickly as possible. Exiting Norfolk – nothing but military…

Our voyage to Myrtle Beach, SC was interesting. At a little over 50 miles, the distance was easy, but it took a while because of the number and length of slow zones. The beginning of the journey was a really…
