Posted from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Our move is complete. But naturally… since it’s me… Things didn’t go exactly uhhh… normal? The plan was this. The night before I’d fire up the engines, then they day of my parents and aunt would come on over along with Mitch and we’d just toddle on over. Done. So […]

Posted from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This winter finally has come to a close just in time for more snow coming this coming Thursday apparently. Over this time I have not been idle but not a lot has been going on for the boat itself. I’ll have a post talking about some of the fun we […]

Posted from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Not to get cheesy or really pat myself on the back for this but our departure from TIM and off to Pier 4 was incredibly smooth. How smooth? Ya.

Posted from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. So as seems to be my habit lately this post is VERY late. And I’ve actually written this one before part 2… There are a few reasons for that some of which is to attempt to word it correctly as it goes over what happened at St. Catharines. Although in […]

Posted from St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. Although I haven’t been posting with any regularity lately don’t take that for a lack of effort on my part. I’ve been trying to sit down and do a decent post to update what has been going on but life hasn’t been…. exactly…. squared away lately. Work has a […]

Posted from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. So it’s been a while since I’ve posted. Primarily because I haven’t had much to talk about for the last little while (a bit hard to believe I know). So let me do a quick recap for what’s gone on. Winter aboard a boat can be a lot of fun […]

Posted from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Amazingly enough I’ve made it back alive. I’ll be doing a more thorough day by day blog posting of the trip when I get a chance. I’ve got a string of emails that I used essentially as my source of notes for the entire trip. Sadly there is NO time […]

Posted from Sandwich, Massachusetts, United States. Yesterday we decided that we would try to leave later at night with the tide just to make the passage that much quicker. The speed part worked out well as we were able to hit 10 knots while in the area outside of Eastport with the islands, the down […]
