Moonrise/Sunset........

Can you believe this is the first moonrise we've seen on the water since Florida? Oh well, better late than never.........................

The Swiss Cruising Club

OK, I'm doing the laundry........ hhmmuh, and the Swiss Cruising Club comes into GYB.......they are sailing an Ovni 455!! We have been interested in this boat for it's shallow draft and it's "drying out" ability...................."Drying out" is when a boat can sit on her bottom and let the tide come in and out and she can just sit. Anyway these Swiss guys have a good thing going on!

Thank you, Lucas! and Sally, Maya, Mark and Sally!

We thoroughly enjoyed the gin & tonic and you're company! Thank you for welcoming us aboard the Ovni...........with any luck our paths will cross again!!!!!

A Sassafras delight!

We have spent two nights in Georgetown Yacht Basin and it is an excellent haven for boats of every kind but for multihulls it is the best!!!!! The lift can handle boats from a Chris White 57 to a monohull or power vessel up to 110 tons! That's alot of Grey Hound's ;-). Anyways this is a "most excellent" joint/ marina! If you are not happy here........HUH?.......we think the management will just try harder....... GYB has the best hot showers!!!! and really great restaurants with real people! The price for a very secure ball is a no-brainer and they even supply a water taxi! We'll be back!

Woodland Creek

Grey Hound is now lying in Woodland Creek off the Sassafras River. The Chesapeake is just a beautiful place in the fall!! Well worth a little chilly temperatures (but not even close to CNY).

The holding is Great........ we have wildlife and scenery. Now, if Dick only knew how to fish! ;-)

ps what's that orange stuff in the bottom of the GH pix?

A really cool neighbor!

As we were having coffee and bagels for breakfast we noticed this guy just hanging off to our starboard. We're pretty sure he would have preferred lox of the live variety but oh well!! Beautiful none the less!!! We're always trying to catch these guys on film and just seeing them thrive in the wild is Priceless!!

Good Evening, Still Pond Creek!

Aaahh!! The first really nice sunset of Chesapeake 2010.

Ya' never know..........

What you'll find in an off the track anchorage. Yup, here she is Alacrity a 48 foot Dick Newick tri. She has an offshore pedigree and certainly looks fast!

Television???

Does anyone have a clue? All we wanted to do is watch the Philly's game.... and we ended up having a great happy hour with Mike & Grace ............. they are just the BEST!!!!!!!!!!

what a view from the front porch!

Kismet calls!!!

Kismet is in the Bay!!!!!!

Grey Hound will always give chase to "Kissey"

and once again GH sails upwind. We're on a mission. Grey Hound arrives in Still Pond Creek around noon and we are with our friends. ----- now , keep in mind Kissy has been stylin' at a dock here! Thanks to really good people!

The Magothy River

After kicking Gazelle's butt ;-), GH spent the night in a small bay north of Gibson Island. A beautiful spot, very protected with good holding.

Out cruising

We decided to head north. Why?!? We're not really sure but just like our friend, Otium, we seem to like sailing upwind..........

We sailed north for the Bay Bridge and that's when we encountered some stiff competition........YIKES!!!! a Gunboat 62! at somewhere north of $2.5mil (with a mast as tall as the Empire State building ;-0 ) she tacks for us to give chase. Good 'ol Grey Hound was far more motivated and the Gunboat never crossed our bow. Sorry Peter J, maybe next time.

Beautiful 'Naptown

Such a nice town and sooo much history!!

Annapolis Boat Show 2010

One of our long range goals has been to have our boat on a mooring ball in Spa Creek for the boat show. We finally succeeded and scored ball #45 for Grey Hound and us!! We've not had the opportunity to have GH in the Chesapeake in time for the show but this year it's different! We finally had good timing! Selfishly, we think we won the the "best boat in show" award........and there were alot of people expressing the same thoughts as they yelled to us from on the bridge.

ps Thanks to Ian Farrier and Keals Marine Grey Hound can't be denied!!!!

Naptown, here we come

It was great to arrive in Annapolis! It was quite a drive in the rain down here (tropical storm remnant of some sort) but we arrived at Holiday Hill Marina and left GH there on the trailer to go and say our "hi's" to Amy & Jason and prepare for the arrival of our new grandson! The whole family really pitched in!!!!!........... and Evan James has a really cool room to start off in!!

So........ OK, OK,OK!!!!!

Things have been going fast and we've been very bad at posting. We'll try to bring ya up to speed.

We said "Adios" to our friends at Fair Point on Little Sodus Bay on Lake Ontario on September 22, from there Grey Hound went to her new upstate New York home base. Bob and Steph and Teagan have a beautiful new home and they have included us and GH in the plan. The grounds are absolutely beautiful!!!! and there's also plenty of room for Grey Hound to hang!
