We are at the Port d’escale des Quais du Vieux-Port de Montréal.  In other words,  the marina on the quays of the old port of Montréal.  Even though Ms. Green didn’t really see my true potential in French class in high school, there is a dusty corner of the brain where some of that learning [Read More...]

Frozen blueberries, frozen pasta sauce, and frozen tonic water.  That’s what we woke up to this morning.  A sure sign the refrigerator is about to blow up again. We’re in Crysler Park, Ontario having proceeded down, up, and down again on the St. Lawrence.  (“Down” is toward Gaspé and the ocean; “up” is toward Lake [Read More...]

We’re in Sackets Harbor, NY tied up to two docks.  Details below. Our stop in Amsterdam was very nice.  Susan drove out from Boston for the July 4th weekend and managed to find Riverlink Park in the dead of night.  After hugs and kisses and brief conversation, we all headed off to bed. While the [Read More...]

After a nice visit in Annapolis, we’re happy to be cruising again.  Right now, we are tied up at the Riverlink Park on the Erie Canal in Amsterdam, NY. We decided to repeat the Little Triangle cruise that we had done onboard our Krogen 48 seven years ago.  The itinerary is as follows:  Chesapeake Bay, [Read More...]

We’re at Port Annapolis Marina on Back Creek in Annapolis. After spending an extra day in Portsmouth to wait out north winds on the Chesapeake, we moved up the bay to a favorite anchorage – Mill Creek off the Great Wicomico River.  We have stopped here many times and never cease to be amazed by [Read More...]

We are in Portsmouth, VA waiting for the wind to clock around to the south before heading up the Chesapeake to Solomons.  Our trip up from Florida was quick and blessed by pretty decent early Spring weather. From Palm Coast, we went to Fernandina, FL and tied up at the town docks.  As we approached [Read More...]

We’re in Palm Coast, Fl in one of our favorite marinas and making our way north for the summer. Our last couple of weeks in Marathon involved visiting the usual haunts for one last time: Burdine’s, Sunset Grill,  Banana Bay for the weekly Krogen Breakfast (please, never again!), Hideaway, Franks, etc.  We also spent time [Read More...]

Our stay in Marathon is winding down.  It’s been a pretty action packed couple of months.  At the same time, we’ve managed to enjoy the slow-paced do-it-tomorrow Keys lifestyle. Shortly after we arrived, we rented a car and drove back to Stuart to get our car.  As usual, the car is never in the right [Read More...]

After a couple of months in Stuart, we decided to head back to Marathon and the Keys.  We’re now tied up in our usual slip at Sombrero Resort and Marina. While in Stuart, we enjoyed seeing a lot of Krogen owners as well as the Kadey-Krogen staff.  Tom Button, Operations VP, had arranged with Northern [Read More...]

We are tied up in our slip at Sunset Bay Marina and Anchorage in Stuart. We plan on being here until January and then who knows! There’s been lots going on including some changes/modernization to the website. Instead of using PC-based software to create the logs, we’ve moved to server-based blogging software (and I’ve switched [Read More...]
