Apalachicola to Tysons Harbor on Dog Island

What a day!

I don't think I've explained this trick "Relief band" we purchased last year (see photo below). We used it a lot today as we were close to the Gulf of Wigglesworth in rough seas! Anyhow, the watch generates a pulse (shock) that stimulates the median nerve near your wrist.  The impulses from the median nerve travel through the body's nervous system to the part of the brain which controls nausea and vomiting. The pulses have a rebalancing effect, normalizing the messages from the brain to the stomach!  IT WORKS!

Anyhow, after 35 miles of fun and games (wind gusts from 21 to 35 mph, waves 2 to 3 feet and spray over the fly bridge); we anchored in a beautiful spot - Tysons Harbor on Dog Island.  Walked the white sandy beach, rode in the tender and now are relaxing.

We have a BIG day tomorrow - as we actually go out into the Gulf and cross over to the West Coast of Florida for more fun!  Keep saying those prayers for no wind and smaller swells,

Relief Band

May 23 - May 30 - Branford Yacht Club to Pilot's Point (Westbrook) to Mystic and back to Pilot's Point

I'm sure you've been wondering where we've been.  We've been landlubbers - staying in a house, sleeping in a real (no-boat) bed and doing laundry! And drinking (that's Don's addition). It's been family time with Don's sister Anne, husband, John, niece Lakie, husband Kevin and grandniece Parker! And site seeing in Mystic & Stonington CT. Anne and John are fantastic hosts, tour guides and chauffeurs! For those that do not know Mystic, it was a significant Connecticut seaport with more than 600 ships built over 135 years starting in 1784.  It is now best known for its charm, downtown area, the Mystic River Bascule bridge and the Mystic Seaport Museum. If you love boats and the seafaring ways of old, this is the place for you. One highlight of the visit was meeting our great niece, Parker!  She is a busy young lady but took to us right away. And it was great to see Parker's other grandparents - Armand and Kathy! Of course, we ate at all the hot spots...

2026 Adventure Begins

We're BACK on the WATER! Let's start by explaining how Cady Girl got from South Haven Michigan to today: Well, first of all, we bused, Uber'd, and then flew to French Polynesia for a wonderful, once in a lifetime experience with great friends! Cady Girl stayed in South Haven - watched over by some great Harbor Hosts! In October Don flew to Chicago and rented a car to get back to South Haven.  He then did a solo speed run from South Haven to Chicago via Lake Michigan!  He met his brother, Dave there and they cruised the Cal-Sag Waterway, an industrial river access around South Chicago. Per the Captain, this was a fascinating study of the on-going de-industrialization of the United States. From there, they hung a left to the Illinois River and Dave departed in Peoria , IL - home of Caterpillar! Don soloed to St. Louis where his friend Gary joined him and they reached the Mighty Mississippi! The river traffic in St. Louis was intense - commercial, pleasure, ferries, and river ...

 May 7, 2025 We're back to looping!  Hooray!  We departed Kent Island today and motored to Dundalk, which is a suburb of Baltimore about 35 miles by water!  Took us 3+ hours! First of all, thanks to Ed and Heather for the generosity and time!  Always fun "hanging" out with them! And so happy to see brother Dave, Gulmira and Sanzhar - thanks for the great dinner.  Also had a short visit with Bess! And spent two days with my friend Jill who moved to Alexandria this past year,. She's my "Oregon" buddy even though we met at UC Davis, Trip to Baltimore included passing under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, passing the Pride of Baltimore II, and getting out of the shipping lane at the request of a Panamanian freighter, named "Diva." I was driving! Docked at Anchor Bay East.  You can stay for free if you eat at their restaurant - such a deal and the food is delicious! Here are some photos to enjoy!
