Making our way to Annapolis

Thursday October 2, 2008
We have had an exciting few weeks on our journey between boat shows. The lack of internet cafes has limited my ability to share the details more as they happen, but I found one now! It closes in 20 minutes so I’ll be quick.
On the Marina: the final environmental assessment paperwork […]

More accomplished

Thursday July 31, 2008
