Yes, we did call Chaz to make reservations, our comment was that we never actually met him, we were only at that dock for two nights. And we were glad for the security gate although we didn't learn how it worked until our last day the trick is to make sure both handles are lined up, then punch...

My message about the docks was re:Savannah...

West End We're going to meet some friends in Green Turtle, so our plan is to check in at West End, then over to Great Sail Cay, then to GTC. We stayed in a cottage at Hope Town two years ago right between the two bars....I think they were competing to see who could turn up their speakers the...

We stayed at the River Street dock....then moved to the Hyatt Regency dock. There is a bolt poking out of the dock at the Hotel that could do serious damage to your boat. I mentioned this several times, but the 'dockmaster' is also the hotel handyman and accounts payable person, so I think the...

Happy Holidays! We're in Vero Beach enjoying the use of a car for our provisioning expeditions before crossing over to West End. Boat has been a pleasure to live on over these last 3 1/2 months, just the perfect size for two people and a dog.

They checked the y valve in our head and our keyed lock for the overboard macerator but didn't go below into the engine room. I put the white placard inside the door to our kitchen garbage can and the black placard is supposed to be somewhere obvious in the engine room. They wanted to see our...

The Coast Guard was very courteous and thorough...they checked all our safety equipment including making sure we had the necessary placards in place. I couldn't believe how many big men in life jackets and weapons could fit in our salon! The equipment and their boots left black marks on our...

We're in Charleston! An update...we're at the dock at Charleston Maritime Center and have discovered how close we are to everything! We got boarded by the coast guard and passed inspection, phew!!! Didn't know how so many big guys with guns and life jackets could fit in our salon! So far...

Hi, We're finally on our way towards the ICW going south from Maine. Are finding excellent slips, moorings and anchorages along the way...have been indulging in some R&R in the Chesapeake. Tonight we're anchored off Wye Island, tomorrow we'll reprovision at Chesapeake Maritime Museum slip.

Thanks for your suggestions... I'll check out Wordpress. Has anyone used Google groups?

All set for Monday departure If the weather looks good, we'll head out early Monday from Robinhood Marine Center. The only glitch is that we picked up our Portland Pudgy and our town office is closed....so, no registration. We hope that somehow within our 30 day grace period we are able to do...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a cruising blog?

We're almost ready to set off....thanks again to Roger and Anne for your excellent advice!

So far, we've managed to navigate through the intricacies of figuring out how to get mail and pay our bills while underway!

We are looking forward to spending some time in the Chesapeake, thanks!
