Did you know Annapolis, Maryland, is considered the Sailing Capital of the World? We've never seen so many sailboats, thousands of them lined the channels! This is a typical marina - mostly sailboats and only a few power boats. Joy Girl was lonely for her kind. Last week in Virginia we saw Jamestown (the first …

First Flight, Great Light
As Joy Girl, her feline officers, and human crew continue to make their way northward, it would only be appropriate for a man with 35 years of flying to visit Kitty Hawk, NC. As you may well know, this is the site of the first powered, manned flight in history. On that glorious December 17 …

We spent a few days on Bald Head Island, North Carolina, the home of Cape Fear. Wow, what a little piece of paradise. Bald Head Island is only accessible by boat so there are no cars, just golf carts zooming around. Million dollar homes peek over the sand dunes and the beach is littered with …

Georgia On My Mind
This past Saturday we took our first real trip aboard Joy Girl, heading south to Savannah, GA. By car the drive would be less than an hour, but in our trawler it was over three hours. Yes, that's slow, but the comparative level of relaxation more than makes up for the speed differential. Adding to …
Shelter Cove Sunrise
After a enjoyable meal and convivial time with local friends and relatives aboard Joy Girl, it might have been easy to think things couldn't get a whole lot more idyllic. Ah, but then we woke this morning, peered out the window, and saw what looked like an amazing sunrise in the making. Tossing on a …
