It has been awhile . . .

. . . And time for a new adventure!  A lot has gone under the transom, after completing a 5-week cruise from Green Turtle Bay to Nashville, back again then to Chattanooga, we decided to sell the boat.  Signed the papers while on a bus in Morocco digitally, go figure.  We have been using Facebook for the most part rather than this blog but are returning here for obvious reasons.  Our next adventure is a small, can I say “Tiny House” travel trailer?  We leave in 9 days for a three to four-week trip, so stay tuned.

BVI's

In November, Barb and I flew down to Beef Island, Tortola to do a week of sailing via the Moorings.  we rented a 37 foot Beneteau for the week, and sailed the Sir Francis Drake Channel and bits of the Atlantic to Jost Van Dyke and out to the Bitter End.

Rainy Day - home early

Looks like we will return back to the harbor a day early as the weather forecast has changed.

Route back to Green Turtle Bay

Now at GreenTurtle Bay

It has been a little over two weeks since arriving at Green Turtle Bay.  After our arrival we stayed one day and returned to Cincinnati for the All Star Game week, and other commitments.  Ed has been back to the boat twice for cleaning and maintenance.

On August 2nd we returned, shoved off at noon on the 3rd for an exploratory trip down Kentucky Lake.  Our goal was to explore anchorages and other features as much as possible.

Barb at the helm!

Anchored out on Smith's Bay for the night. Had a little dip and kayak before dinner

We continue to check out the various bays off of Kentucky Lake for Anchorages, etc.  Makes for a slow go but interesting.  We were checking out Higgins Bay, liked it and noticed it was time for lunch so we dropped the hook.

Barb decided to check out a small island and the shoreline in the bay while I set up our Marine Traffic tracking at http://www.marinetraffic.com

Tonight we are anchored at Ginger Bay and will head back toward Grand Rivers tomorrow.
