WinterRiver is on a distinguished road
I'm finally heading north. Started in Wilmington, NC where we bought the boat, going to RI.

Pulled in to Oriental for fuel just before a squall line came through and decided to stay the night. Yeah, I know I asked where in Oriental I could pick up my brother yesterday, so, yeah, 3 days in and a day behind. Blame the weather.

9:15 is a bit late to put out an invitation, but if anyone's in Oriental, we're right in front of the tiki bar.

Wink sailing the rockies

Lyn, I am curious how you got across the continent on your northward trip(s).
It is along way from NYC to Washington. I took a quick look at your website but couldn't at first glance see how you managed to sail across 2500 miles of land and mountains.
I am sure I will find out as I found your site interesting and will be reading some of it when I have time. Just for now the quick answer will do for me and the other readers.

Heading North too

My husband and I will be heading north from St. Pete in February or March. Our hope is to reach Maine some time in July. This will be our first cruise... on an Irwin 54.


Perhaps we'll meet up en route.

Ellen
