We started the trek up the ICW! Many new breweries have sprung up along here and Bob enjoys sampling the brews!
We meet new cruisers along the way, and get together in the evenings. Cookout at Bucksport Marina along the Wacamaw River, NC, with Sue and Al on Gelato and David and Cherie on Blue Sky.
Liv and Magnus on Nanny sailed their boat across the Atlantic from Sweden!
Dinner out with fellow travelers in Portsmouth, VA
Anchored at Camp LeJuene, NC with osprey helicopters landing and taking off.
Buying shrimp local! NC
Pepromenon on The Dismal Swamp, NC. Anchored overnight with 4 other boats as the lock was not working. Had a "swamp party"!
BosWe always finish our trip with a couple of days in Annapolis. Chilly day up at Rams Head, wisteria in bloom!
Its been almost 3000 miles this season round trip!
We have learned cruising has a language all its own! Here are some samples.
1."skinny water"- "Its pretty skinny in the anchorage." ( Translation - shallow water)
2. "sundowner"- "Come over for a sundowner." (Translation- cocktail)
3. "outside" - "Lets go outside today." (Translation- into the ocean)
4. "conserve propane"- "Lets conserve propane tonight." (Translation- eat out)
5. "admiral"- "What did the admiral decide?" (Translation- Boss, ie. woman/wife on board)
Thanks for reading our blog! Carol and Bob
