It was the perfect trawler day-- not a puff of wind on the Chesapeake, turning the Bay into a luminous pool that looks like oil as you slip through it. Your bow makes a vee shaped slice in the water that reminds me of the flight of geese and ducks as they migrate South. There is not a cloud to be seen in the cerulean sky which fades to pink, lavender and peach at the horizons. I Wanda is not a trawler, of course, and we would prefer a nice 15 knots abaft the beam... but it sure beats wind on [View Full Entry]

Well, we just got back from the Annapolis boat show that was held over Columbus Day weekend. It was great to be able to wear shorts and T-shirts again as it was getting to feel like fall at home, but was summer in Annapolis - quite a bonus! We went down prepared with a very long shopping list of things we wanted for Tsamaya. We spent Friday and Saturday doing all of the research and then Sunday was the day to actually commit and place the orders. It was definitely an expensive weekend but we are very happy with the items [View Full Entry]

Summer 2009 - Life in the City We arrived in Baltimore and took a slip at the Anchorage Marina a few days before the big 4th of July weekend. This is a great marina for live aboard cruisers, since it has a West Marine a block away, a Safeway supermarket across the street and at least 50 bars & restaurants within walking distance. As usual we were assigned docking space on their outer floating pier due to our width of 22’. This provided us with a good view of all of the vessel traffic entering Baltimore harbor. We saw schooners, skipjacks [View Full Entry]

Check this off my bucket list: going home to Wheaton, Maryland. One of our local radio personalities, Van Harden, shared how he visited his elementary and high school a couple of years ago. So on my last trip to Washington DC, I did just that. A little back story might help. We came to the US from Trinidad in 1968. We settled in Wheaton, MD. I started school in third grade, skipped the 11th grade, graduated in 1977 and then joined the USAF in 1978. I lived in Idaho and since 1980, call Iowa my home. Let’s start with the family [View Full Entry]

September 21-24th 2009 The beginning of this week I got to experience going to Delmarva, which is Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia. Lance and I traveled together and I got to learn a lot and see a lot and gain lots of experience. We first landed in Washington Dulles. We drove to Ocean City, MD. It was a nice little city on a beach. We went to experience the Boardwalk in Ocean City. It was about a 2mile boardwalk with different shops. However, we were there on a Monday night and it seemed like a ghost town. The second day, we got [View Full Entry]

Cape May NJ à Havre de Grace MD. Bonjour. Imaginez-vous que notre dernière croisière c'est passé sans événement particulier mise à part deux peut-être trois vagues de mastodonte des mers qui ont attérie dans notre chambre via l'écoutille de pont. Matelas et couverturre imbibé d'eau enfin,vous pouvez imaginer le résultat, dodo dans le carré. Pourtant une des règles de base lorsque nous sommes en route est de fermer l'écoutille avant peut importe la météo. Partie de Cape May, nous avons pointé l'étrave au nord direction Reedy Island sur le Delaware River à quelques milles de l' [View Full Entry]

It's been a while Travelblog! Since I last updated this I've done so much. I've settled in properly here at RPI and just about started my research properly; I've gotten myself a part time job on campus (as not to break immigration law); I've been to a drive in movie; and been to Baltimore for a weekend as well as spending quite a bit of time round at Sigma Phi Epsilon. So where to start? I went to the activity fair one day last week to have a look at all the different clubs and teams here at RPI, and there's [View Full Entry]
