Back to Charleston by Train
After an epic live music performance at the train station, we took a magical train ride back to Charleston! Then we fetched our VW bus for some errands and camping.
Scuppernong River Festival
Saturday I attended the Scuppernong River Festival. Ken and Kelly brought their 1966 Century Resorter to the parade, the grand marshal and his wife rode in the boat. If you’re looking for a vintage boat in great shape, this one is for sale!
Settling In
Despite Tropical Storm Michael, we get Kyle to a train station and ship him off to Charleston so he can catch his flight to Minnesota.
More ICW and Arrival
Two more days in the ICW and we arrive home! Also: things start breaking aboard the boat. Add them to the list…
Intracoastal Waterway
After spending a couple days on the ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) is a nightmare of shallow depths and obstacles to dodge. This post is a litany of complaints. If the ICW ever feels like a better option, read this post first.
First Offshore Overnight Passage
This is our first offshore overnight passage, just the two of us. It’s strange how one of the most uneventful things we’ve done is also one of the most momentous.
Renaming Ceremony
Fashionably late, we apply our new boat name and have a renaming ceremony, complete with champagne, pomp and circumstance!
Drastic Change of Plans
Only hours after I wrote the last post, briefly updating everyone with our current plans, the plan changed drastically.
So What’s the Plan?
We’ve both left the office for the last time. The steps we take now are unfamiliar, our footfalls are steady but they’re in a new direction. Where will they take us next? Read on to find out!
Last Week in Charleston
Our last week in Charleston was an absolute flurry of activity. My last week of work, boat projects, both vehicles break down, visiting with friends, a hatch chile festival! and provisioning like we’re never going to see another store.
