While boating is certainly a fun thing to do there are several (okay many) things that can be a real pain in the transom to do on a boat. One of them is taking down the isinglass before each departure. If you leave it up it gets incredibly hot in the cockpit but the glass…
Over the weekend we attended Prince William Marina’s Annual Slipholders Party and as with the first one it was a blast. This annual event was actually the first one we attended back in February of 2015. We had not even closed on “Getting Away” yet and our sales guy Steve Hedrick invited us to attend….
We rafted up with the new Murphy’s Law in Mattawoman.

Every year Prince William Marina and Prince William Yacht Club put on their annual Pirates Night on the Hook event. The PWM barge is placed in Mattawoman and boats are rafted up. It allows for a great party platform and Prince William Marina brings out the grill and fixes up burgers and dogs. [ngg_images…
A couple of pictures we took while doing dinner on the hook in Belmont Bay.

Every year around August Prince William Yacht Club organizes a raft up at Three Sisters, an anchorage on the Potomac River north of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Washington, DC. Here are our pictures from the 2016 event.

In October we stopped in at Trawler fest across from Annapolis in Stevensville, MD. While the weather didn’t exactly cooperate it was still a good show.

We are slowly getting our photos up on here and developing our workflow. Here’s our photos from a day trip to Three Sisters with friends.

Anyone who has ever owned a boat knows that boat maintenance is a way of life. For this maintenance day we did an inspection of the genset impeller and swapped the hinge position of the cockpit fridge.

Don’t forget to check out Part 1. Our death by food tour continues. After cheesecake at Juniors we countered the sugar rush and subsequent crash with a matinee on Broadway. For dinner it was time to try out some authentic Italian. We ended up on Mulberry St. in the heart of Little Italy. You could…
While on our first visit to Manhattan, a lot of our planning revolved around various restaurants we wanted to visit and foods we wanted to try. We hit so many restaurants and food hotspots that I decided to split this into two posts. Don’t forget to check out Eating New York Part 2. There are…
I love nature and wide-open spaces, so Central Park was my cup of tea. There were so many things to see and do, but you had to get around the people jogging and crowding around for impromptu shows happening around the area. Even the public restrooms were somewhat nice. This was my kind of park!…
Growing up in a small Southern town with a population fewer than 5,000 folks when I was in high school, entering New York’s Times Square was a little daunting. There were probably more people in one city block than there were at the local grocery store where I grew up, and such varying mix of people. After…
On Sept. 11, 2001, Eric and I were only friends and I was a sophomore at a small college in West Tennessee. Like most others who can recall that far, I remember exactly where I was when those planes hit the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the field near Shanksville, Pa. Almost 15 years later, I was standing…
On the first day of our trip, we had tickets to One World Trade. It’s a massive building, and probably the tallest one that I had ever seen in person. After going through the TSA-like security line and body scanners, where an agent tried to get me to take off the belt that was sewn onto…
