The FuFu Transitions, change, progress… whatever the name we give these events in our life, the tenderness is the same. Experiencing these things as an adult is challenging, but with the experience of age, they are easier. I can easily remind myself of the many instances in my life where the hardest “transitions” reaped theContinue reading “Croatia (Zadar, Mali Losinj, Brijuni, Pula)And Transitions….”

Split, Trogir, Krka, Sibenik and Jacks Birthday
Happy 11th Birthday Jack! And Happy Independence Day America! As is our preference, we enjoy balancing our time between anchorages and city life and the past few weeks has been a nice mix of both. There is no question that Jack, at 11 years old, prefers the anchorages and swimming and playing with his friendsContinue reading “Split, Trogir, Krka, Sibenik and Jacks Birthday”
Cruising Croatia – the Islands
Perhaps the hardest lesson to learn and the one which this life is constantly trying to teach us, is the absolute truth that you simply cannot do it all. Once upon a time, we believed that having a home which we can take anywhere, with all our things and most important humans and pets withContinue reading “Cruising Croatia – the Islands”
CAPTIVATING CROATIA!
Captivating Croatia!! There are so few places on the planet which remain unspoiled. Alec and I have been cruising the Bahamas for the past 20 years and in that time, we have born witness to changes so great, it sometimes hurts a little to go back. Harbors which were unspoiled, untouched by human hand andContinue reading “CAPTIVATING CROATIA!”
MONTENEGRO
Montenegro Named for the stunning mountains that encircle this striking country, we were expecting black or brown mountains, but we were not disappointed to be greeted instead by a blanket of green velvet, tree covered crag. After a 50 hour passage we had completely relaxing and uneventful conditions and arrived to put another pin inContinue reading “MONTENEGRO”
So Long Sicily… HELLO, MONTENEGRO!!
Good-Bye Sicily… HELLO MONTENEGRO!!! I have noticed a pattern when we spend several weeks or even months in one location. I have itchy feet and dare I say, desperation, as the days turn into weeks, then weeks into months. When I think it is time to move on, I have no patience for waiting forContinue reading “So Long Sicily… HELLO, MONTENEGRO!!”
Siracusa, Italy (Sicily)
What a month it has been! There is way too much to cover in one blog post so I’m going to break it up. While I’m tempted to begin at the end of the trip around Italy since the last week was EPIC, I’m going to begin at the beginning and get to last weekContinue reading “Siracusa, Italy (Sicily)”
Cruising Italy – Your Sandbox – Your Rules…
Last month, Ocean Navigator published a piece that I wrote about the complicated European regulations which govern our time and decisions in Europe, so it isn’t as though this was news to us. In a very short nutshell, there is European VAT (or the avoidance thereof) on the boat – Gratitude in this case, andContinue reading “Cruising Italy – Your Sandbox – Your Rules…”
Sardinia – Part Due
Sardinia – What to see We are now settled into the Moys Marina in Olbia, Italy (Sardinia). To bring you up to date on the Covid and regulatory issues, upon our arrival in La Maddalena in the NE corner of Sardinia, we were notified of a new regulation for persons arriving from Spain. We neededContinue reading “Sardinia – Part Due”
Sardinia – Not all fun and games
“You got what you wanted”. Jack’s ever present ability to sum up a situation in a matter of a few words if not well timed, has always been a skill. The timing, however, will have to take some finesse in the coming years though. Let me go back a couple of days. We made aContinue reading “Sardinia – Not all fun and games”
