Mosey On | Moseyin' On

At our own pace…. June 15, 2015. Last evening, in beautiful weather,. Sunset Off New York. Can read this data and display it on our navigation computer screens. Incentivized to avoid any close encounter, we spent hours exploring the features that clever software can provide from such data. Not to get too arcane, but my personal favorite is the dynamic solution of Closest Point of Approach .or by how much will we miss each other? It just might help some bleary-eyed sailor avoid running into us! Join 30 ot...

At Anchor | Moseyin' On

https://moseyon.net/category/at-anchor

At our own pace…. To include marinas ($ $ ouch! August 12, 2016. So’ya got someone to watch the house? In many ways, cruising on. Is liberating, spontaneous, and an awful lot of funbut it also makes it harder to do those ‘side trips’ that are always lurking out there on the calendar. When you commit to them, waaayyy out there on the calendar, they don’t seem like muchbut the devil (in the logistical details) exacts his unavoidable toll. I committed to help out at my 50. After her stint in the Boatyard (s...

The ‘Oh Lady…’ Factor | Moseyin' On

https://moseyon.net/2015/08/07/the-oh-lady-factor

At our own pace…. August 7, 2015. The ‘Oh Lady…’ Factor. And of course, so it is aboard. Once safely stowed back aboard, it was clear that another anchoring was not an option. As parts for this windlass are not readily available, I knew we would have to find a boatyard with ‘sources’. Kinda’ like the parts ‘jobber’ that only your favorite mechanic knows about. Mosey On at Front Street Shipyard. 8216;Oh Captain…! Not Moseyin’ On Just Yet. Forecast for “Partly Sunny” Today. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

June | 2015 | Moseyin' On

https://moseyon.net/2015/06

At our own pace…. June 28, 2015. Electricity, Groceries, and a Gale. Although not surprising, after cruising up the East Coast and then lingering for a few days in The Great Salt Pond on Block Island, the tendrils of shore-bound life caught up to us and bid. Up to Massachusetts and family there. A grandson’s lacrosse tournament, Father’s Day, our son’s family move across town, and my birthday all conspired to pull us ashore and leave. But it was difficult to leave. We returned home to. Wednesday evening ...

In the Foggy Dew | Moseyin' On

https://moseyon.net/2015/07/22/in-the-foggy-dew/comment-page-1

At our own pace…. July 22, 2015. In the Foggy Dew. Has made it to Maine! Of a mile in the span of a few minutes. We lit up both of our radars, activated our fog horn, slowed down (a relative term), and the crew went on high alert to avoid entanglement with the ever-present lobster pots and any sign of other marine traffic. We knew where we. Were by means of our electronics. We had to focus on our radar to give us some warning of other. Not Much To See. The electronic aids are marvelous for those who have...

Train Day in Norfolk | Moseyin' On

https://moseyon.net/2015/06/11/train-day-in-norfolk

At our own pace…. June 11, 2015. Train Day in Norfolk. Remember a summer vacation when the car was all loaded, highway maps properly folded and scattered about the car, the eager anticipation to hit the open road and a new adventure? But first, you had to get out of town: the traffic congestion, missed traffic lights, and a slow moving freight train blocking a crossing. Well, yesterday was Train Day. Moseyin’ On to Block Island on Sunday. 8220;On The Road Again”. Destination .Missing →. Up A Lazy River.

August | 2015 | Moseyin' On

https://moseyon.net/2015/08

At our own pace…. August 26, 2015. Hangin’ Out – Short Handed. There’s another type of beauty on display here, too. On moorings, anchored in coves, or under sail or power there are more truly beautiful boats than anywhere I’ve been. Not the working lobster boats, the migratory cruising sailboats, mega-yachts of the rich and famous, or long-range trawlers like. Now the test…how many lobster buoys did you spot? And about the title of this piece….I’m here puttering around aboard. August 7, 2015. Once safely...

July | 2015 | Moseyin' On

https://moseyon.net/2015/07

At our own pace…. July 28, 2015. Forecast for “Partly Sunny” Today. After dropping some friends off in Portland yesterday, we set off again this morning with “Love Cove” (yes really), in Ebenecook Harbor on the Sheepscot River as our day’s destination…a quiet spot just short of the madness of Boothbay. It is the classic snug cove anchorage that. Skipper always hopes to find…but did I mention fog? We’d been here, done this…. Up the Learning Curve. July 22, 2015. In the Foggy Dew. Has made it to Maine!

At our own pace…. July 12, 2015. 8220;Cruiseus Interruptus”. We interrupt this idyll with an important message from reality.Stuff happens ashore (even when you run off to sea) and you find yourself dragged back to deal with it! Well yes it was. Had we received a 30-day notice that we must vacate by the end of the month? Not until that moment! On only her anchor because of the previously discussed need for electrical power for her refrigerator/freezers and finite battery resources. So.we negotiate...The l...
