Howdy sports fans! Shortly after the events of my last post, I found myself being jumped on by an unbelievably sweet and tiny dogbeast called Milo. I met this ferocious creature in the dock office at Harborwalk Marina, where I’d signed Sylphide and myself up for a two night stay. In my initial planning, I […]
24. The Grand Strand
Oh, hello. The morning after my last post, I was feeling something new, something different, something wonderful. I woke up on a boat that not only wasn’t beeping at me, but was warm, full of fuel and fresh oil, full of water and groceries, and it even smelled kinda nice. For what might be the […]
23. A visit from Dad, some questionable dining choices, and a deep dive into my poop system.
Craptain’s log, stardate 2/4/20. Life has been good aboard Sylphide since my last post. We departed Bofurt on a gray Friday morning, and enjoyed a relaxed cruise down to Mile Hammock Bay. I’m very pleased to report that we made it through the firing range at Camp Lejeune without being shot more than a handful […]

Since then, life has been pretty good aboard Sylphide. The easy, breezy, beautiful thirty-something miles down to Coinjock was smooth and pleasant. The […]
20. Fog, Burgers, and big gray Boats.
Well, after a few days in Deltaville, I moseyed out of town on a cold, gray and drizzly morning. As was becoming a trend, the seas were lumpy early in the day, and slowly died off as I went along. The first two thirds of the trip were uneventful and pleasant. A mug of hot […]
19. Picking up where I left off.
Howdy Sports Fans. It’s been a long time since I posted anything, so I thought I’d update anyone who might still be interested. After all of the holiday ruckus in New York had passed, my father and I loaded up the ol’ front wheel drive sleigh, and proceeded in a southerly direction. His ultimate destination […]
