My friend Steve, his shipmate Bruce and Spartina are beginning their fall sail up the northern Chesapeake, down the Delaware River and maybe beyond. It is sure to be a great adventure that you can follow it on this site. And stay tuned to the Log of Spartina for the play-by-play on their return.

Favorites
Spain and Portugal have rich maritime histories. Traditional boats and harbors rim the countries' coasts. I enjoyed documenting them. Here are a some of my favorites shots...

Hunting a New Home Port
Eleanor and I drove over to Mathews County, Virginia to meet our friend Frog from St. Augustine. He spends a couple of months a year in Mathews enjoying autumn on the Chesapeake Bay and knew people and places that might be helpful in finding a place to keep Annie. We have rented an apartment in Richmond for the year with no place for boat storage.
We drove all around the county and settled on Winter Harbor Haven Marina for its price, boat ramp and proximity to the Bay. After our search Frog took us by canoe to a private beach for a swim. He is quite the host.
We will be moving Annie in a couple of weeks from North Carolina. Back in the water again!
