August - October 2018 New England and back South

We spent a great few months exploring Long Island and Cape Cod Bay.  Boston, Providence Town, Sag Harbor, Montauk were a few of the many stops we made.  Great trip!

On the way back down we made a stop at Great Kill and met up with Wayward.  We spent several days there waiting for a weather window and finally took advantage of a marginal one.  The alternative would have been to stay at Great Kills for at least another 4-5 days.

We tossed around a bit on the less than light seas (forecast models all disagree and are rarely accurate) but we made it to Atlantic City, then Cape May and up the Delaware River and the C&D Canal to Chesapeake City were the seas and weather seemed to moderate.

We anchored along the Chesapeake (Wayward managed to snag a log  anchoring up the Sassafras River) and made stops and Annapolis, Solomons, St. Michaels,  Olversons, and down to Salt Ponds for a day or so before heading down to Norfolk and on into North and South Carolina.

We made it into Georgia and finally here in Brunswick where we are staying for few days before heading to Huckins boat yard where we leave the boat for a month.  Per our usual arrival here, we almost beat a rainstorm while docking.  Almost ...

We have a group of great friends here!  But the downside is all the boat maintenance I've deferred while playing over the few months.  They have now come to the fore, thus I will me digging in the engine room for at least a few days this week.

For details, one can berate me for not updating our our detailed travel blog.   Probably wont do much good but I'm devoting at least a day while we are here in Brunswick to putting something up more recent than last year.
