After transiting the busy New York Harbor, we anchored in the Atlantic Highlands, NJ. Our plan was to get south to Brunswick Landing Marina in Georgia where we would leave the boat and head to Fort Myers for the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. We stayed a few nights in Atlantic Highlands and then moved the …
ICW
After checking back into the States from our trip to the Bahamas, we took the ICW inside from Port Canaveral to St. Augustine, stopping in Daytona Beach for a couple of nights. After the usual provisioning and laundry, we met up with friends, Jay and Tanya (SV Minx), at the local brewery, Old Coast Ales, …
The morning we left Beaufort, NC, we went for a run and then stopped at the fuel dock on the way out to fill up. Since we knew we’d have a short day, we motored on the ICW 44 miles to Sanders Point on Bay River where we anchored the night. The next morning, we …
Once we left Charleston, we motored 42 miles north on the ICW to anchor in South Santee River. The next morning, we pulled anchor and only had about 15 miles to get to our next destination, Georgetown, SC. We visited Georgetown for the first time last fall as we were headed south and in need …
We left Beaufort, SC and motored on the ICW 43 nm to Herb River, where we anchored for the night. The next morning, Randy pulled the anchor at 7:30am and headed 66 miles south to an anchorage called Fridaycap Creek, near St. Simons Island. It was a very long and cold day with the high …
After fueling up and topping off our water tanks in Beaufort, NC, it was time to move on. Our goal was to get north to the Chesapeake, but we still had a ways to go. We decided on Norfolk, VA as our next major stopover which meant 4 more days of travel on the ICW …
After leaving Charleston, we decided we needed to get north in a hurry. The fact that we were in the midst of a heat wave without a working AC unit in the aft cabin, made us realized that we needed to make up some ground. We needed to get out of the south and South …
Since we took care of laundry at Jekyll Island and hit the grocery on St. Simons Island, we were ready to head north. We motored 39.5 miles on the ICW to an anchorage on the Wahoo River. We hardly passed a boat on the way and it felt like we were in the middle of …
Once we left Marineland, we headed north, passing St. Augustine and going through the Bridge of Lions once again. We’d planned to stop at an anchorage in North St. Augustine, but decided to push on through most of Jacksonville to Sisters Creek. There’s a great little anchorage there adjacent to the Sister’s Creek Park free …
After we left St. Augustine, we headed south Marineland, FL. We didn’t really like the idea of heading back where we came from but we needed a good place to leave the boat for a long weekend. We didn’t want to leave the boat on a mooring ball or anchor since our fridge needs power …
Since we had 44 nautical miles to go to get to St. Augustine, we left Daytona Beach early. It was a cool, windy day with high temps around 75 degrees and winds 15mph NNE gusting to 31. We hailed the St. Augustine Municipal Marina when we neared the Bridge of Lions and were given a …
After a few days in Fort Pierce, it was time to head north again. Randy woke early and got us through the 7am opening of the North Fort Pierce Bridge. It was a calm day with very little boat traffic. We motored 45 nautical miles to Melbourne and anchored by the Eau Gallie Causeway Bridge. …
