  • Blog

    Most of the content and pages on this site are to be found right here in the blog section. I’ve kept a daily blog since 2009 for the times I’ve been aboard and cruising. I’ve accumulated over 1500 posts over the years, plus numerous non-diary pages. Almost every day has a descriptive text entry (my family-safe online diary) along with several pictures.
    Unfortunately, due to a hosting issue, the blog pages prior to 2022 have lost both their initial layout and formatting, making them read more like a book page rather than a web page. But at least the texts and pictures are still there for your viewing pleasure.

Golden sunset in the Saintes
Golden sunset in the Saintes

The Saintes are beautiful in June 2023, and it was hard to depart, but upon arrival in Martinique I realized it was quite nice there, as well.

The storm system that built into TS Bret forced me to head south, all the way to Grenada.
