Bahamas Bound 2001-2002
Page 1

This Adventure begins in the Chesapeake Bay during the late Fall, 2001.  We left Rock Hall, Maryland as the cold air began settling in for the winter.  We were ready to go after being chained to a marina for six weeks for lightening repairs.

Happy to be underway again! (11/1/01)

Bailey Shows his interest in sailing. (11/1/01)

She never said it, but I think Janet is daydreaming about warmer destinations in this picture.  (11/01/01)

Our southern journey through the Dismal Swamp Canal came with the great Autumn colors.  (11/02/01)

Janet and I pose at the NC Dismal Swamp Canal Visitor's Center as we re-enter our home waters of NC again. (11/02/01)

Bailey and Max barely take notice as we sail into NC again (11/02/01)

Local Legend and Rose Buddy, Fred Fearing, shares stories with a visiting cruiser in Elizabeth City.  (11/03/01)

Sunrise as we leave Elizabeth City heading for Belhaven, NC (11/04/01)

The sunrise as we left Elizabeth City came as a full moon was still high in the sky behind us.  We couldn't get it all in one picture so we cheated and 'doctored' this photo.  (11/04/01)

We caught up with our friends Hugh and Mary-Jean Watson, aboard HUMA, in Elizabeth City.  They set sail with us for Belhaven.  (11/04/01)

While in Oriental NC, we caught up with our friends Nancy and Ray aboard their 43' Ocean Alexander Trawler, Finding You.  Nancy is the one who hired Blaine for the job at Cisco that fast-forwarded our retirement.  (11/11/01)

There is nothing quite so satisfying as flying a cruising chute offshore.  We never knew this until we flew ours (for the first time!) on the trip from Beaufort, NC to Charleston.  This sail will get lots of air-time aboard 'Charbonneau'.  (11/19/01)
