Ready is as Ready does

As Forrest Gump would say. Today, part of the last pre-cruising preparation we went around greasing everything that moves. Rudder,...

Provisions

4 whole carts of provisions to fit in the boat! Enough to feed a small army, and a hungry little husky for weeks and weeks to come. As...

Let the Water Flow

When we left Enfin at the marina to take care of my health we weren't able to properly prepare the water maker. I had left it in...

The List

All boat owners and cruisers have "the list" of things they want to do on their boat. The list somehow never gets shorter, and often for...

New Batteries

Enfin's electrical system is a rather complex affair. At the heart of it when we are at anchor are the heavy powerful batteries which...

The Door Puzzle

My cabin (often called the guest cabin, although I don't consider myself a guest!) is tight and cozy. I love its nautical atmosphere, and...

Wing Engine Saves the Day

After our compass swap the other day we decided to go for a cruise to test everything, and more importantly to go out and enjoy the boat...

North Lost and Found Again

On our way down the river to Rocky Pointe Marina for our haul-out, the autopilot simply refused to follow an automatic heading. Losing...

Happiness is a Red Bum

A lovely sign we saw an old granny march with when we lived in London. She was demonstrating for her rights to sexual freedom, and the...

Mission Remission

That's what I had called my medical treatments when my cancer was first diagnosed. Well, today was my first blood test after being...

Alert: Smoke Detected in the Basement

I was helping Di in her cabin, using our central vacuum system, or more accurately our engine room mounted shop vacuum with 40 feet of...

Sparecraft Carrier

In one of my favorite episodes of the classic "Top Gear" TV series, resident Orang-Outang Jeremy Clarkson noticing that his...

Princess' Adventures

Or the smelly smelly fun of a spoiled working dog. We adopted Princess over 5 years ago now, and while she remains a crazy goofy escape...

Losing Our Head

No I didn't go crazy: Head is the maritime word for toilet. So losing our head doesn't mean we've gone crazy, but that we may very soon...

Happy New Year

Lets make 2022 a great year. For us that means confirming my complete remission and resuming our cruising, on top of the other more...

30 Years.

Things might be getting serious. Di and I said "yes" 30 years ago. We decided to mark the occasion with a nice down river cruise, and of...

Home for the Holidays

Going back to the boat I was able to get a nice upgrade to Business Class, giving me plenty of space away from other passengers. In these...

Complete Remission

The magic phrase I've been waiting for for the last 2 years. After getting "perfect" blood test results 3 days ago, I was quietly hopeful...

Fingers, Toes and Paws Crossed.

Off for my medical check. Results soon, hoping to be declared in complete remission. In the meantime we'll all keep our fingers, toes and...

The Sound of Silence

People imagine a boat at anchorage or remote dock is a very quiet and tranquil place. In many ways it is, but in others, a complex power...
