A month of skiing in Vermont was wonderful. The conditions were near perfect and from what I have read more snow has arrived. However we have left the cold behind and are now in the Bahamas. Our flight from Newark to West Palm was easy as usual and after several days of intense provisioning in … Continue reading →

Fort Pierce, FL

Posted on December 19, 2013 by ScottMacDDecember 19, 2013

We are now securely tied up at Harbor Isle Marina in Fort Pierce after a beautiful, twenty-eight hour run down the coast from Fernandina Beach. The weather was perfect, with north winds and three foot rollers on the stern. This combined to get us here three hours earlier than anticipated. It also got a lot … Continue reading →

Silver Bay, Lake George

Posted on September 27, 2013 by ScottMacDSeptember 27, 2013

We are back on the Chesapeake after sixteen beautiful days at Lake George. Silver Bay is our hailing port but Big Smile will never see the thirty-two miles of clean, fresh Lake George water. Someday we might get it as close as Ticonderoga on Lake Champlain but even that would be problematic due to the … Continue reading →
