| 43º 49.638' N | 69º 54.924' W | Ramble Too | We made Maine landfall at dawn, sailed into Quahog Bay then Orr's Cove, and are on R.T.'s home mooring at Great Island Boat Yard. 2100nm - not including tacks - since departing VIs three weeks ago. Lily is an awesome sailor and shipmate; I am one lucky uncle. | over 4 years ago | Show |
| 41º 32.496' N | 70º 39.336' W | Ramble Too | Moored, lovely and protected Quissett Harbor, which has best memories. We'll await for S-SW breeze in a few days to carry on to Maine. | over 4 years ago | Show |
| 41º 25.464' N | 70º 54.648' W | Ramble Too | Nothing like rain and fog to welcome you back to home waters. We're anchored, Cuttyhunk outer harbor, to nap and see if fog lifts. Cavorting dolphins yesterday; Lily has video! | over 4 years ago | Show |
| 39º 31.998' N | 73º 9.0' W | Ramble Too | The sun rises, and so does the spinnaker. The watch changes (one sailor says have a good watch, the other says have a good sleep). | over 4 years ago | Show |
| 37º 45.0' N | 75º 6.0' W | Ramble Too | Wing to wing overnight. Lots of light from near-full moon. Pumpkin muffins in the oven. A lovely morning at sea. | over 4 years ago | Show |
| 36º 58.998' N | 76º 4.002' W | Ramble Too | Lovely day transiting the Great Dismal Swamp Canal. Not so much the bridges of NorfolkVA, which were most down today. :-) Clearing Norfolk now, headed for Buzzards Bay/Cape Cod Canal, 380nm, 40T, 3 1/2 days. | over 4 years ago | Show |
| 36º 30.414' N | 76º 21.36' W | Ramble Too | Another great day. Docked, Great Dismal Swamp Visitors Center. | over 4 years ago | Show |
| 35º 40.5' N | 76º 3.3' W | Ramble Too | We had some of the loveliest sailing today. NE 15-25 breeze. Not so hot for rounding Hatteras; awesome for the lake-like sounds and rivers of tidal North Carolina. Lily and I sailed the dickens out of R.T., often at hull speed, beating northward. Didn't see another sailboat until sundown. Group chatter on the radio last night was that this should be a hunker down day. Sunny, pleasant temps, breezy. From sun up to sun down, distance made good today 66nm, not including tacks. What fun. At anchor, Newport News Point, Alligator River (which will have a familiar ring to last fall's southbound sailors). | over 4 years ago | Show |
| 35º 3.702' N | 76º 37.098' W | Ramble Too | At anchor, Neuse River, North Carolina. Wind was so good we didn't stop when arriving Beaufort late morning. Niece Lily sailed us right up the harbor channels - through a tight railroad bridge - and up Adam Creek (the first leg of the ICW northward from Beaufort). We were quite surprising to other boats that were not sailing, hee, hee. Lily and I have sailed 1500nm since she arrived in St. John five weeks ago to sail RAMBLE TOO home. We left St. John May 15 for Culebra to clear into the U.S., then a 4-day passage to the Bahamas, an overnight sail there, and a 5-day passage to here. She's a great shipmate and sailor; we're having a good time. | over 4 years ago | Show |
| 34º 15.0' N | 76º 34.002' W | Ramble Too | Lovely sailing our last night at sea.

(And the odometer on the chart plotter - installed in 2013 - just turned 10,000nm!) | over 4 years ago | Show |
| 31º 49.998' N | 77º 21.0' W | Ramble Too | About 200nm east of Savannah, GA this morning. Since departing the Bahamas we've stayed offshore to avoid inclement weather in coastal waters (including remnants of Tropical Storm Bertha) which has worked out well.) Breeze picked up nicely overnight and that continues today/tomorrow, and we're making the most of it. And . . . Just entered the Gulf Stream (queue Woody Guthrie!). | over 4 years ago | Show |
