No Posting about trip today

I'm sorry. I really can't write about our carefree travels through Canada, while reading about and listening to the stories of what the country I happened to be lucky enough to be born into is doing. I'm appalled, sickened, sad, and angry. I've seen the images and listened to the sounds (taken in secret, of … Continue reading No Posting about trip today →

Riding the St Lawrence Seaway to Quebec City

I last wrote from Chambly, Quebec, a charming little town only 14 miles from Montreal that seemed more like it was 100. We ended up staying there 5 nights for various reasons. One is that our friend, Bill Hauser, who we haven't seen for several years, drove up from Boston to join us for almost … Continue reading Riding the St Lawrence Seaway to Quebec City →

O Canada—finally!

We left Rause's Point at about 9 AM on Saturday AM, and a few minutes later crossed into Canada. I was too busy putting away lines and fenders to notice, but David said there was a small buoy in the center of the Richelieu River informing him of the borders location. A few minutes later, … Continue reading O Canada—finally! →

Burlington, Vermont

This will be a short blog, because we've only done one voyage since leaving Whitehall and heading up Lake Champlain to Burlington. Let me make this clear--we love Burlington. It is such a FUN town. Reminds us a lot of Seattle and/or Portland, including thinking they have the corner on "weirdness" There is one big … Continue reading Burlington, Vermont →

From Waterford to Whitehall—history lessons

We awoke to rain the morning we left Waterford; as a result we weren't motivated to get going early. We only had 40 miles to go, but six locks to get through, and that makes for slow going. We also were a bit worried about our "air draft"--how much Golden sticks up from the water--because … Continue reading From Waterford to Whitehall—history lessons →

To Waterford, NY—the crossroads

We left Half Moon Bay at about 10 AM, because we didn't plan to go far. On the way, we saw West Point from the water (this is the same day and time that our friends were taking OUR picture from West Point!): And Bannerman Castle, constructed in the early 1900's by Francis Bannerman, a … Continue reading To Waterford, NY—the crossroads →

New York City, then up the Hudson

We left Manasquan just after sunrise for our last run on the open Atlantic, and arrived safely into Great Kills Harbor on Staten Island about 5 hours later. Beautiful day, beautiful voyage. Even Hunny didnt appear to be as miserable as we'd expected! It is becoming abundantly clear that Hunny truly hates boating. Sometimes she'll … Continue reading New York City, then up the Hudson →

We’re Baaaaaaack!

Apologies for not writing sooner--hard to get back in the saddle again. Writing a blog is work! Tabie's wedding was beautiful, and I've never seen her happier. I was a bit nervous while performing the ceremony because she kept giving me the side eye. I guess she didn't completely trust that I wouldn't embarrass her … Continue reading We’re Baaaaaaack! →

Compilation of trip so far

Here's a little chart my brother drew up summarizing our trip so far. It is highly accurate:

Safe in Solomon’s

This will be the last post in a few weeks, because David and I are taking a break. I last left you enjoying our free moorage along the Dismal Swamp. After a cold, miserable, rainy day at the Dismal Swamp Visitor's Center, we headed north to Norfolk. Though the day was bright, the temps were … Continue reading Safe in Solomon’s →
