Norfolk! Holy moly, we made it. (We’ll have an update about the area later. We just pulled into the slip a few hours ago and will have a lot to report on. Like, we're parked next to a 210 foot carbon fiber sailboat that is gorgeous. We…
(Photo above: Loopers like to take pictures of each other's boats as they pass by and then trade them. We're just like kids having fun with our toys!) We're sitting in Beaufort, NC after a night in an anchorage. We knew there was a cold front…

I think we're going to need a new flag soon...
We just pulled into Georgetown, SC, (another great stop!) after another uneventful 65 mile/7 hour passage. (Cheryl has a different view about our Charleston passage, see her comments below.)…

Heads up! This is NOT a Looping or boating post. It's personal. I just felt like using my platform here to post this. Skip it if you're looking for boating news, that will resume after this break. (We head back to the boat Sunday, next…

Cheryl: This has been a remarkable couple weeks for us. We’ve spent so much time with family and friends. Not only have we been visited by old friends (Deb & Steve in New Smyrna) but we’re actually meeting up again with Loopers we’ve…
Cheryl: Since leaving the Fort Lauderdale area, it finally feels like we’re officially Looping. Up until then, we were retracing the steps we took bringing the boat home from Cape Coral and revisiting Butch‘s memorable experiences on Lucidity.…
Butch: Wow. I keep thinking that I'll run out of things to talk about here, but the opposite keeps happening: Too much going on to even remotely keep up! We are in Ft Lauderdale as I write, after a trip up the Keys from Key West, and man,…

We hope everyone is enjoying our posts, and we’re very touched by the concern some have shown for our safety while we were crossing large bodies of water. We have not fallen off the edge of anything yet. No doubt, as concerned individuals,…
Another week in Margaritaville..
I realize it’s only been a few days since our last post, but I have pictures to share! And stories to tell. (And we are pinned down for maybe 24 hours by high winds and rain as a front passes over us.)…
We are continuing our incredible stay in sunny Key West, Florida. Since Butch previously spent some time here, he knew exactly which marina to book a slip. We are right in the middle of everything! We can walk to hundreds of places and we routinely…
