Atlantic City, NJ

                                      Here they come!


                                    And here they are!

I was excited to be going to Atlantic City, but a little disappointed when I get there.  I don’t know why I was wanting to go; I guess because of the hype of “Atlantic City!”  We stayed at Farley’s Golden Nugget, basically a casino with a marina.  The marina was fine - showers, laundry and casino. We didn’t even gamble - we’re saving our money for gas!

It’s probably a good thing that we didn’t gamble, as we weren’t very lucky.  We left Atlantic City, cruising the New Jersey Intercoastal Waterway.  There’s a lot of no wake zones.  We had come into an area with some homes, restaurants and floating docks.  As we were cruising, we noticed the Coast Guard motioning us to slow down- just about the time we had started to slow.  Anyway, about an hour later, sure enough, the Coast Guard boarded our boat. I put Traxx in the V-berth with me while they checked everything out.  The good news is we passed the inspection, the bad news is they said we were getting ticketed for creating wake in a no wake zone.  It should be approximately a $100 fine, however, they said the magistrate would call and we haven’t heard anything yet.

We stayed two nights and we’re traveling with Malcolm and Rachel on Stay Cool.  They’re super sweet and fun to be around.  

I can see why people stay here - very nice rooftop pool and bar - pool wasn’t open though. And if you like to gamble -‘it’s a win-win (hopefully).  I tried to take some pictures inside of the casino, but I was scolded. You can’t take pictures of the card tables in a casino - I didn’t know that!  You learn something new everyday!

Boomerang - 09/13/2022

      We've finally taken the plunge - that could be a bad play on words.  Let’s say, we’ve finally purchased our looper boat. We've been on a quest to find a boat, for a couple of months now. We've traveled more than 3000 miles in search of the perfect one. We had certain criteria (budget, seaworthy, dinghy, A/C, heat, trailer, electronics, bed, toilet, galley, tall ceiling for Jeff, etc.) and we located one in Webster, New York (near Rochester).  We traveled there twice to get this boat - once by plane and then by truck. It’s a 14 hour drive, but she fit the bill, so we had to go. It’s a Rosborough 246, trailerable, 25 ft., single, outboard engine (Honda 225) small, cabin cruiser.  She’s in great shape, clean and ready to go!  The previous owner took great pride in ownership and we were lucky to find her, just in time! She's a small boat; but it's just a vessel to get us from point A to point B and to have a view of the country from a different persp...

Back on the water!

So after 1.5 years, we have Boomerang back in the water. After finishing the Loop, we built a house and are finally getting to go boating again. Two days ago, we trailered the boat to Gilbertsville, KY and stayed at The Moors Resort for two nights. It was a nice marina and costs $1.50 a foot. They told us they had power and water at the slips - but there was no water and only a 110 outlet, but we made do. And although they said they had bath houses, there were no showers! But what they did have was a very nice delicious, reasonably priced restaurant. We both enjoyed the Mahi Mahi with Mango salsa.  After two days, we cruised to Buzzard Rock Marina in Kuttawa, KY. Its was a peaceful day on the lake, not much traffic. Buzzard Rock Marina has showers! Although our slip didn’t have water or power, we were able to connect to both at a vacant slip close by. We’ve already met Billy, who completed the loop in 2017. He’s invited us to dinner on his boat tonight. He seems very nice! And it’s...

Buzzard Rock to Clarksville, TN

                       Kentucky State Penitentiary                                              A tree in the middle of the water.                     Heading underneath the bridge.                                    Here we go!                                 Passing tugs.                                  Passing barges.            This cloud looked like Sydney’s dog, Cane.                Bumpus Mills - a fisherman came in.     ...
