secretly, they all wish they were sailors. To cast off the lines, and leave the world behind. To become one with the boat, the wind and waves. We're the lucky ones, we step onboard, and are complete.

CONGRATS, you did well
Here we are offshore of West Palm Beach, headed for Biscayne Bay.
GOOD SHIP LOLLY POP love it....sorry we were unable to get together.
Notice how everyone else passes us. We have their backs though!
Will be heading to he Bahamas as soon as the winds lifts. Are you heading for Abacos? We are heading for Exumas this year. We'll be looking for you!
Steve &Sue,
Loose Change
Our first day on the ICW was fraught with danger and peril. Ok, maybe not so much, but I’ve got to do something to keep you entertained, right? We left under a cloud of fog, so much so that when we looked back at the creek entrance, we could no lo...

- Sailor
- Homeport:
- Jordan Creek, N.C.
- About Me:
- I've owned Journey, our 28ft islander since 2004. She's a better sailor than me or Al, my husband. We are planning to let her take us to the Bahamas in Nov.'09 for 3 months. She is spoiled, recieving constant attention and numerous upgrades, but she's worth it.
- Current location:
- Destinations visited:
- Washington, Ocracoke, Bellhaven, Bath, Oriental, Beaufort, Lookout Bight, North Carolina
- Looking to:
- November 2009.... Journey will take Al and I to the Bahamas for a three month adventure. We have moved onboard, last minute details only now. I can hardly believe that after all these months, the time to leave is right around the corner!
Sailblog of S/v Journey
I have a blog over at this site. I'll try to figure out how to post it on this one. Like all blogs, it runs from the bottom to top. There are older posts as well, so have fun looking. Until then, http://www.sailblogs.com/member/svjourney/ Ok, put it in as a rss feed!

Moorehead City to Southport, NC
We made it to Beaufort/Moorhead City this morning, and the weather reports don’t look good for the run offshore. Al and I know our limitations, and being new to the whole offshore run thing, hearing about winds that would be increasing Wednesday morning to 20 knots, with seas 4-6 feet, makes us choose the milder, gentler route. Down the “ditch” we go! We will stay in the ICW until we make Southport, then look at conditions again. Maybe we will get lucky for Thursdays forecast, which is when we w… Continue

Headed to the Bahamas
Our first day on the ICW was fraught with danger and peril. Ok, maybe not so much, but I’ve got to do something to keep you entertained, right? We left under a cloud of fog, so much so that when we looked back at the creek entrance, we could no longer see where it had been. Just like most of our adventures, this gave us the clear feeling there was no turning back. Oh well, onward to the Bahamas we go!
Very soon after entering the Pungo river, we were overtaken by large ominus low clouds. Oh boy,… Continue

Crunch Time!
Well, crunch time is nearing. Our Bahamas sailing trip is closer than ever, and we have been working at a fevered pitch to get everything ready to leave November first. The food is stowed, and Journey was listing comfortably to port. Adding the dingy in the quarterberth to starboard evened her out nicely thoug… Continue

Dancing with Ferrys
We have an impressive ferry system here in North Carolina. Almost every place we sail to is crossed by a ferry path. Maybe it’s me, but I think they’re trying to mow me down. My first time in the death-zone of a ferry was my first time sailing Journey. The wind had decided to quit on us, and as… Continue

Ocnvoyager said… - MJ we are now friends always happy to have a new one. Perhaps someday we'll meet on the high seas or some drinking establishment. Great photos by the way. Any woman who would hold a lobster in her teeth is tops with me!
Where do you keep your boat?

Suky Cannon said… - Hi MJ... i did get both your notes... i'm hardly on now that I'm aboard but love having comments to read once I do get on.
I am reading Nigel Calder's book right now on Cuba and it seems there are ways to get around going to Cuba... I don't know if I am actually going to get there.... the winter plans are going to unfold on their own... right now, sitting in slip with incredible winds and not going anywhere since waiting for fiberglass work to finish... hopefully Friday...

Jim Buce said… - Hey Martha. You gussed it, I am at McCotters. I like it a lot there, nice people. Thanks for the positive comments about that boat, I have had to put a lot of work into her so far. I like the layout as well...very homey feeling with all the wood, but thats what you get from a late 60s era boat. Have had a tough summer and have not been down as much as I would have liked, but I that should be ending just in time for the nice fall sailing. I hope to see you guys out there some time...
Jim

Foster, use the NMEA 0183 plug. My E120 came with a short data cable that I connected to apx 30' of standard data cable. Unless your AIS indicates a different baud rate make sure you set it to 38400. You'll find the setting in Systems Setup.

Hi
I do not have my owners manual with me here (its on our boat that is 80 miles away)but I think I connected the serial head to the vga out connector on the E120. Hope this helps
James
Did Hampton last year and relly enjoyed it. They have a town marina there with lots of transit slips or you can drop the hook right there off the town marina docks (green top) and go to shore via dingy dock. There is a very nice hotel and lots of ...
Hello,
Thank you for the information. Can you tell me on which plug you put your video cable on the E120
You will find enclosed a few pictures of battery charger and monitor on our Oceanis 43

James, it sounds like a great plan. I hope you'll be able to do al if not some of it. As you said even a portion of it would be wonderful. My job would permit me to do the same thing but unfortunately my wife's does not. Eventually we'd like to do...
James, the Honda genset sounds nice, especially the Ecco mode. Right now I don't have any plans on adding one but it's something I'll keep in mind. To install the Victron I drilled through the bulkhead. The engine insulation came with it although ...
Yeah, I have the voltage panel now but its not giving me enough "real" info on battery status. We will be monitoring both the house and engine battery.As you know we carry a Honda gen as back up and use it to charge the batteries when on the hook....
