Steve Croan's Blog: Sailing to the Spanish Virgin Islands - Feb. 1-12, 2015

http://fishingspi.blogspot.com/2015/02/sailing-to-spanish-virgin-islands-feb-1.html

Wednesday, February 18, 2015. Sailing to the Spanish Virgin Islands - Feb. 1-12, 2015. We had been talking about sailing to the Spanish Virgin Islands for a long time. So when Phil and Laura mentioned the subject to us while sailing Nantucket last July, we all agreed to that it was indeed a great IDEA! We met up at the American Yacht Harbor at Redhook on the east end of St. Thomas, USVI and of course, we immediately set about to properly provision for the voyage. The next day found us sailing and anchori...

Steve Croan's Blog: Sailing the Dodecanese Islands- October 11-18, 2014

http://fishingspi.blogspot.com/2014/12/sailing-dodecanese-islands-october-11.html

Saturday, December 20, 2014. Sailing the Dodecanese Islands- October 11-18, 2014. The Islands of Greece sit in 2 very different seas; the Aegean and the Ionian, and are grouped into families of islands that share similar looks, culture, history and climate. The Dodecanese can be a challenge to sail. The dry northwesterly meltimi winds blows from the NW-W at Force 4-6 from June thru September making it very difficult to sail in a northward direction. Tilos is known for seductive beaches with no crowds.

Steve Croan's Blog: Cruising to Alaska - Outside Vancouver Pacific Passage - May 18-June 11, 2015

http://fishingspi.blogspot.com/2015/06/cruising-to-alaska-outside-vancouver_16.html

Tuesday, June 16, 2015. Cruising to Alaska - Outside Vancouver Pacific Passage - May 18-June 11, 2015. While sailing the San Juan Islands in August, we met Brian Pemberton while wandering about the piers in Bellingham. Why not try an outside passage going around the Pacific side of Vancouver Island and then up inside to Alaska? Departing from Bellingham, we headed to Victoria on Vancouver Island. We will be logging over 935 miles in about 25 days! A stunningly beautiful waterfall tumbles from Lessom Cree...

Steve Croan's Blog: Sailing the New England area-Buzzard’s Bay, Vineyard Sound, and Nantucket Sound, July 20-27, 2014

http://fishingspi.blogspot.com/2014/08/sailing-new-england-area-buzzards-bay.html

Wednesday, August 6, 2014. Sailing the New England area-Buzzard’s Bay, Vineyard Sound, and Nantucket Sound, July 20-27, 2014. When sailing the Gulf of Mexico, much of the Caribbean, and even the Mediterranean Sea, the tides and currents are not too much of a concern. But in New England, let the Navigator beware! We met up with Captain Phil Levine and his terrific 1. Mate Laura Schaub aboard their 48’ double head sail sloop in Fiddler’s Cove Marina, just outside of Falmouth, Massachusetts. Where’s i...

Steve Croan's Blog: Sailing the Great Abaco Islands, June 4-10, 2014

http://fishingspi.blogspot.com/2014/06/sailing-great-abaco-islands-june-4-10.html

Saturday, June 21, 2014. Sailing the Great Abaco Islands, June 4-10, 2014. Would you believe that we have never sailed in the Bahamas? So we got a Beneteau 37 at Marsh Harbour and also a "tide chart" because you need a "tide chart" here in this beautiful water or you're subject to run aground! You expect the traditional "island color" and style here at an anchorage at Great Guana Cay. Anchored a day hook at Fowl Cay Reef Preserve for some snorkeling and cold drinks.

The Roth Family: July 2011

http://julieroth.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Sunday, July 31, 2011. When Blake is concentrating really hard on something he sticks his tongue out. (See the picture below.). I think I figured out where he got this. With Granny and Pa. Well, today is the last day of July. I can't believe it! Where has the time gone? I know it sounds so cliche, but really, the summer has gone by so quickly! There are still things on my To Do list that I hope to get accomplished in the next TWO weeks before it's "Back to School" for me. He had so much fun at all of the...

Wednesday, June 22, 2011. Here are a few pictures so you can see what Mr. B has been up to so far this summer. I'm going to try to get a picture of Baby Bootcamp next week :). Playing with his new sprinkler! Hanging out at his table. Playing in the balls. Finally learning to use a straw! Thanks for the cup, Aunt Ally :) Now he's crazy about the straw. Being cute. Reading the paper with Dad. Showing off his Father's Day shirt :). Sunday, June 12, 2011. My last day of work was on June 4th - yes, Saturday!

The Roth Family: August 2011

http://julieroth.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Thursday, August 11, 2011. Monday morning Mindy picked me up and she, Palin. And I headed to Austin for Palin's. Helmet checkup. After her appointment we drove down to San Marcos and shopped at the outlet malls a bit before heading back. We had a great day. We got lots of good deals and enjoyed hanging out. I think the kids ended up with more stuff than we did, but that's to be expected now, right? The front of Palin's. How cute is this? Blake's chair. He loved it! How cute is this little bum?

The Roth Family: Play Date

http://julieroth.blogspot.com/2012/06/play-date.html

Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Before school was out, my friend, Trudi, organized a play date schedule for us. Thank goodness! It's been so nice to get to see our friends this summer. The kids love to play together and the mamas love to have some adult interaction :) We get together once a week and play. Below are just some of the McCullough boys and isn't even all of the kids that were at the play date. The little babies were chillin' in the shade while the big kids had a popsicle :). It's a Wonderful Life.
