Vermont summer!.....and beautiful it is.

We've been in Vermont now since early June and its been a whirlwind of activity for us. House projects....have to keep base camp up.., a great visit from second cousin Dean. That was fun packed 3 days which included a trip up to Montreal for an Impact soccer game, zip lines and treetop adventure tour in Stowe and of course the annual putt putt golf game. 

We've had the oppurtunity to get in some nice bike rides and currently planning to head up to Prince Edward Island in the Canadian Maritimes next week for camping and biking.

Still to come is Bettes escape to Colorado for a family gathering and Ern's trip to Chicago for a high school reunion and.......Cubs post season baseball!!!!

Thoughts begin to drift back to Little River where Iemanja is sitting quietly recharging her batteries for the next southbound adventure???

VT bicycling

Why we love VT!

August 2016 ride on the Burlington Bike Path up to the Islands.

Home in Little River....

A wonderful push from favorable current all the way up from Winyah Bay just parked us in our slip at Lightkeepers Marina.....Iemanjas home for the next 5 months or so. It's been quite a fantastic trip with the last week or so having added some very interesting events......more to come,

Minnie to leeward

Mom and Dad asked Minnie to sleep on the low side when we made our transit and ride up the Gulf Stream from Ponce Inlet.

This is Minn following instructions:

I didn't really expect her to sleep on the catwalk, but then, she's a cat.

Charleston SC....

We sit in Charleston harbor this morning and once again, Mother Nature decided that Iemanja should in no way enter Charleston all salt encrusted from one amazing ride in the Gulf Stream...so she provided the only thunderstorm cell within 100 miles of hereto us as we entered the channel early this morning...just after midnight....under far less than ideal conditions.

More on our wild day of highs and lows later today or tomorrow but for now.....we are sleeping in ....

On the move from Vero Beach

As TS Colin gets rolling....

....we are sitting tight on a mooring in Vero Beach for the next couple of stormy days. Hope to head for Little River SC on wednesday.
