We are sailors from Baltimore, Maryland – Skip and Harriet. We cruised the Chesapeake Bay for the past 20 years and spent the past 3 winters in the Bahamas. These are our cruising adventures aboard “Moondance”, a 1994 Sabre 38 with our trusty crew member, Bailey. Bailey is our 7 year old Sheltie who has earned the title ‘Chief Security Officer.’ He likes being on the boat with us but would much rather be on his sofa at home keeping us safe from the mailman and the delivery trucks!
We’re getting ready for the 2012 sailing season where we plan to visit New England and return to the Bahamas for the winter.

Hey Hardys, did you get a hello from Noel sent from the Brooks’ Beer and Brat party? She started to write you to tell you how much you were missed. Lots of boats here this October and a cool but nice evening spent on the deck. We all read your blog and are following your adventure. Keep the news and pictures coming. Scuffy sends Baily her love. Pat and Howard
Hi Skip and Harriet,
Just wondering if you really do get this mail. Hope so. Loved your Dismal Swamp pictures and lock story. Let me know if you hear from me. Pat
Hello to the sailors! Willie said he missses Bailey! Leslie and I are enjoying your blogs. The kindness and warmth from the people you have met is much like what we encounter as we travel by trailer. This is turning out to be quite an adventure for you already. We wish you well and are looking forward to your blog entries!
All is quiet in the neighborhood.
Love your post about Oriental! Hope you enjoyed it!
We sail a Catalina 380 out of Herrington Harbor North – also on the Chesapeake. Planning a trip like yours for this coming fall. Lets keep in touch. Interested in your experiences and suggestions. Fair winds. Stefan Leader
Sure, would love to share our experience. We’ll be back in the Chesapeake around June and will contact you.
Hey Harriet and Skip
Do you have time to stop in the Ocean Isle Beach vicinity for a visit? We just got back from the beach. Ken mentioned that he checked your blog and you were on your way to NC. Ken leaves for Scotland (golfing) on Wednesday (5/27) but I am here for another week.
We’d love to have you stop. Hopefully Razzle will be a better hostess dog. She has had to contend with Tom and Jane Evans dog quite often as we switch off dog sitting.
Hope to see you soon.
Wow, you two are living the life! I was going to email you but didn’t have your address. I’m writing retirement poems for Suzanne Pierce, Tim Bateman and Tom Wiseman and your names came up as people who might have some information on them. Of course, if I were you the last thing I’d be thinking of would be SSA. But if you can drag yourselves away from the good life just long enough to share a memory or two, I’d really appreciate it. I’m retiring also at end of year – wish I had a boat! Take good care!!
