March 29th

We arrived in Sunbury, Georgia yesterday around 4:30 after a cold 8 hour cruise from Brunswick.

This, in the middle of nowhere, marina is quaint, rustic and quirky all rolled into one. They have a great little restaurant called the Sunbury Crab Co. We enjoyed a low-country boil dinner complete with crab, shrimp, oysters, sausage and corn with a side of highly recommended, black eyed peas, that were delicious.

This morning awoke to clear blue skies and are looking forward to a long walk as soon as it warms up to over 60 degrees

I have great pictures that I will send later when, hopefully, my phone cooperates.

 May 2nd We arrived in Coinjock on Sunday, 4/28 after buddy boating with L'Attitude Adjustment. It is a small marina located on the intracoastal waterway on our way to Norfolk. We were soon joined by our friends on Bapardi. Coinjock is famous for their restaurant that proudly serves 32 oz ribeye steaks. So, of course, we immediately made reservations for the 6 of us. On Tuesday we headed up to Norfolk. It was a beautiful tree lined part of the intracoastal. Norfolk was quite an impressive site as we entered the port which is a base for Naval vessels. After we docked at the Waterside Marina our day turned negative. While I was engaged in the routine of connecting the boat to the water system, I slipped on the dock and in an attempt to break my fall I broke my wrist!  Although I was hoping that it was only a bad sprain, it became evident that a fracture was more likely so off we went in an Uber to the emergency department at Sentara General Hospital. After xrays, that confirmed ...

  June 10 th We arrived at Donavan’s Shady Harbor Marina in New Baltimore, NY on Friday, June 7 th . Kathy and Brian Donavan own the marina and host an annual weekend that includes a “Pig Roast” on Sunday afternoon. This year, the guest of honor weighed in at 225 lbs. There were 39 Looper boats staying in the marina for the weekend.   We already knew many of the Loopers, having met them previously, but also made some new “Looper Friends” over the weekend. Friday evening we joined our friends Donna and Gary (L’Attitude Adjustment) and a couple we had not met before, Richard and Melaney ( Jewel) for dinner. The food was very good and the company better! Saturday night we ate at the restaurant at the marina again, this time with Richard, Melaney and their daughter, Lindsey who just graduated from USF and another couple Donna and John (Paradise Bound).   After dinner there was a bonfire to cap off the day. Sunday started with a women’s group where we shared mimosas an...
