This is what I think of Westerbeake. After $2000 in parts and $90 in postage, I still don’t have the generator running. The ECU they sent originally didn’t work so they are reprogramming it. It may arrive here in Central Square (not anything like Times Square), NY next week one day. In the meantime, our […]
Add New Post Traveling up the beautiful Hudson River was a treat. Lots of pretty sights. We had a great 4th of July watching fireworks in Albany, NY. As we traveled North from Albany, we finally reached another lock. That prepared us for the Erie Canal which has 21 locks (the East part of the
Well so far we’ve logged 2259 miles. About 0.38948276 of the way through. I thought I’d memorialize a few tidbits of knowledge gained on this journey. When the experienced loopers say “watch out for the ferries” it appears they were not referring to the friendly little pixies. These ferries have a big bold FERRY sign
All of our followers were worried something was wrong since we didn’t post since June 16. So to ease the minds of both of you, here is our latest report of what’s happening. Not much. After leaving Leanardstown, MD for the second time (it’s really a little gem of a city), we motored back to
Today is Father’s Day and coincidently our 51st anniversary. Being traditionally the ice-cream anniversary (or so I told Diane), I bought Diane a nice cup of chocolate ice-cream. We left Colton Point this morning intending to go to tangier Island where the residents speak a unique English dialect that isn’t spoken anywhere else but the
Lots of interesting sights since our last post. The most unexpected thing (besides the dumb generator that isn’t fixed yet) is that Trump visited DC while we were there. In fact for a few minutes he was about 50 feet from our boat. Thursday morning we saw dozens of secret Service guys and a whole

The last few days we have been motoring up the Potomac River. I gained a new respect for George Washington if he really crossed this river in a row boat. This thing is wide, REAL wide —— Until you get close to DC. But it’s choppy the whole length and the current alone would have
Okay, it’s been a while since we added anything to our blog. after we left Portsmouth, VA on the 26th, we motored to Little creek Marina in Norfolk. We pasted a number of Navy ships being refurbished. Less than an hour after we tied up at the marina, it started lightening, raining real hard and
We thought Southport, SC was really nice but nothing beats the hospitality of Elizabeth City. The city is the gateway to the Dismal Swamp. I suppose they want you to feel real good before entering the swamp in case this is the last anyone sees of you. We were fortunate not to get attacked by
