OUR PLAN

We are writing this blog for one reason and one reason only. To provide a vehicle to make it easier to remain in touch with our family and friends back home.



Our plan is simple. Depart our home port of Goderich, Ontario in the Summer of 2011. Cruise Georgian Bay and the North Channel of Lake Huron while visiting some of the ports and anchorages we have missed over the years. As well as revisiting some of our favourite haunts hopefully with some of our very good friends with whom we have cruised with many times before. All the while adding up the miles and gaining experience with our new trawler. Our first and only self imposed deadline is to be in the Chicago area around Labour Day. South of Chicago, weather and circumstances will guide us!

JUNE 10-12,2013- DELAWARE CITY, DE


We pulled out of Annapolis with a small weather window and decided to continue up Chesapeake Bay to Delaware City, DE.  Even though there were weather warnings, we had a great trip up with very little wave and a slight drizzle.

We had to wait for the weather to co-operate to travel down Delaware Bay to Cape May, NJ and this was the spot to do it.  Dock master Tim gave a weather synopsis every day at 5:00pm.  We looked at all our weather resources and then compared them with Tim’s and thankfully we were on the same page.

We spent some time walking around this town and came across Wiso’s Seafood Market.  Great seafood and a wonderful sense of humour to boot!  They turned their old “stuff” into garbage art and it made us laugh.  Wonderful crab cakes and everywhere we looked a smile!

Now, dock master Tim has a reputation for orchestrating the departure of all the boats berthed at “his” marina because of the notorious current, but for some reason, this particular day, he and his team were late arriving, but no worries, we on Terrmar have learned a thing or two on our looper journey.  As we departed, quietly with no issues, we spotted dock master Tim and his team scurrying to catch up.  I wonder what happened to “I am ex-army, never late!”
