So it’s a little late coming, but here’s the announcement: We’ve made it to Annapolis! After nearly 2,500 miles since March, some rough seas, some crazy storms, and a lot of beautiful sunsets, we’re finally at our new home. It still feels a little weird to think that we’re not moving again, but we’ve found [...]
We decided to take Altair through the oldest man made canal in the US. It was built in 1805. To read more about the canal click here. To see the photos of our trip click here.
Lightning Crashes! So far, Cape Fear has lived up to it’s name. The good ship Altair has been through many scary moments, some have left her crew quaking in their shoes, but none as scary as what was experienced this morning. Lightning Crashes!

One morning Tyler was barking like a mad man and wouldn’t stop. So, we poked our heads out of the companion way to find a large power boat hovering around. We said hello and they asked if we had lost our dog. Perplexed, since Tyler was still barking at them, we pointed at Tyler and [...]
This year has been a bit rough for the hermits. We’ve been faced with malaria, rough seas, squalls, strong winds, wind in the wrong direction, sail issues, mast repairs, and last but definitely not least salmonella/vertigo. We realized that what’s been missing this year are the dolphins. For the last couple of years dolphins have [...]
