We are so excited and nervous for our first big trip!! We are heading about 22 miles south to the town of Poquoson VA. The marina is called Whitehouse Cove. The weather window is perfect for the next 3-4 days! Hopefully we practice many different things to figure out if we like this. I went …
Chad, Bebe and I made it back to VA on Friday. The drive was pretty uneventful and not too bad. We got to the marina about 3 pm so we could check in with the service dept and say hello to everyone. They got quite a bit of the work done…still a work in progress …
There is so much to think about, learn and buy for the boat and this trip! One big hurdle for us was finding the right dinghy. We need to have one if we plan to anchor out at all and especially if we have either of the dogs with us. We didn’t want to have …
This post covers nearly 2 weeks so might seem long but includes some funny stories about becoming boaters! 🙂 After our time at the cabin for the 4th, we spent a few days at home, seeing friends, going to doctor/dentist appointements and reorganizing.

After taking Julia to the airport early Sunday afternoon, Chad and I headed to the airport to fly to Virginia! We closed on the boat officially on Friday – funny that it was also Chad’s last day of work! We got in late or rather early Monday morning and got a bit of sleep before …
We officially “accepted the vessel” this week! What does that mean you ask? Well, after getting our survey results last Friday, we spent hours discussing the big to do list on the boat and all of the unknowns. On Monday, we finally agreed to throw out a lowball price to the owner. We weren’t sure …
Well, here we go…we got the results from the survey on Friday. There are quite a few unknowns…there was some metals detecked in the oil and we aren’t sure what that means. Chad has been calling some of the diesel mechanics we talked to but it is hard for them to say for sure what …
Chad visited this marina on the first trip out to the east coast, along with 5 others – this was his fav.
