Exploring North Carolina Waters and Boating Communities

Cape Carolina: Captains’ Logs
Captain’s Log

Certainly one of your sailing or boating friends has a blog or website of travels that entertains you or keeps you informed about boating regions and practices.  Perhaps you, in fact, have a website celebrating a particular voyage.  This doesn’t have to be North Carolina journeys exclusive.  Send one or as many links as you wish.  Provide a two to five sentence description of the site.  Your participation is greatly appreciated.

This is the online Web site that our friends use to keep their family abreast of their status and travels.  They are cruising on a Hallberg-Rassy sailboat  and keep the boat in Europe.  The adventure may be far afield for some of us east coasters but I read them religiously as the Author {Karen] has a nice gift for description.  They are pretty much doing their cruising as just a husband and wife crew.  This is actually more travelog than ships log but I / We find it very interesting to follow. Hope this fits your concept. - Jack Hannon, Matthews Point Yacht Sales

  1. Although we are no longer cruising (sniff, cry, sob), the blog is still available and has some lat and longs for some great anchorages for anybody interested in sifting through. Hope you are well.  We’re in FL and loving it, although going back to work while looking at all the cruisers traveling south has been hard!  We’ll do it again soon we hope!   - Tracy Franz, SV Long Gone

  1. About two years ago, "Blown Away", our Morgan 43 sailboat, and crew (Norman & Barbara) visited the Cay Sal Bank.  One of the remotest and secluded areas of the Bahamas, the diving and fishing are spectacular.  The uninhabited Cay Sal island atoll is about 85 miles east of Marathon, about 100 miles west of Andros, and about 30 miles north of Cuba, sitting off the eastern wall of the Gulfstream, in the Straits of Florida.  "Blown Away" and "Aftermath" ("Lobster" Bob & Maryann) were the only two boats out there for a whole month with the exception of the sailboat "Brick House" which stopped overnight on its way from the Ragged Islands to Key West.  The crew of "Brick House", Patrick & Rebecca Childress, two writer/photographer/sailors, interviewed and photographed us for the . . . article, which was published in the Jan 2010 edition of "Blue Water Sailing" magazine . . .  We loved the article, however, we're concerned that publicity will bring more attention to Cay Sal, thus more visitors, and ruin its appeal.
