Blogs from Greenwich, New York, United States, North America

Where has the time gone?? It is hard to believe that we have been back in the US three months already and now seriously looking over the list of things we need to buy to take back to Tsamaya in the Spring. Just thought I’d try to catch you up on a few of our activities – nothing too exciting as far as it goes for travel photos, but definitely have been enjoying some time with family and friends. First on our agenda was returning our rental car that we used to drive from NYC to Greenwich when we flew back. We took it back the next day and we decided that as long as we were down in an area that had a very good Thai restaurant we would take advantage of it and enjoyed ... read more

We had finally made our plane reservations to return to Tunisia and get back onboard Tsamaya. Now we had the deadline of April 15th to have everything done that we wanted to (now how did we think that would ever be possible?) or at least to prioritize what “had to get done” before leaving. One thing for sure was to make a trip out to our old stomping grounds to see friends. We had hoped to do it earlier but something always came up. We pulled a trip together quickly even if it was a shorter trip than we would have liked. We squeezed in as many people as we could see into the short time we were out in the Trumansburg area and we apologize to those that we didn’t make contact with this time. ... read more

Being back in the US for the month of October it has allowed us to get more done around the house and keep our promise to ourselves to take advantage of some of the live music that we have available in the area. We also had the bonus of getting together with some family members, hooked up again with a few cruising friends we have met over the years and I have also had a chance to get in touch with a few more friends that I had back in High School from “just a few years ago”. Before we had left the boat, Bob already knew that he wanted to get to the Annapolis Sailboat Show so already had our tickets and reservations at an AirBnB. It was a quick trip as we left on ... read more

For those of you that are on facebook with me know that we are currently back in the US and have been here since the middle of November. For those of you that only follow us on our blog, you may have been having a hard time figuring where we are based on my sporadic blog postings. As a result this blog will bring you up to where we are currently with the promise that I will continue to put up “old” postings in order to complete our journal and fill you in on some more of the interesting places we have been. Our winter spot for Tsamaya is Gaeta, Italy which is located on the west coast of the country between Rome and Naples. We had arrived there in the beginning of October so had ... read more

Spending winter back in the US? Yes, some thought we were crazy to come back to upstate NY in the winter, but a few things dictate that decision. One is the weather of course, not so much for when we are in the US, but the best times to be on the boat and moving! Yes, we enjoyed our 6 weeks in Paris and could definitely use more time to explore, but we want to travel through the French canals to the Med and need to wait for the spring and summer for that. We also want to spend time with family over the holidays and see some friends while in the US. Now that we own a house back in the US we have quite a few projects to complete on the list and winter ... read more
