After an uneventful overnight along the coast of Nova Scotia, we arrived at the Bras d’Or lakes of Cape Breton, which we will explore for the next week.

We traveled three days from Yarmouth to reach Halifax. We had a classic Nova Scotian sailing experience with plenty of fog, beautiful anchorages, and arrival at the oldest yacht club in North America…

Our passage to Nova Scotia went very smoothly and we arrived in Yarmouth in good time and good spirits…

We left Norfolk, VA, taking a careful route to avoid the remnants of tropical storm Chantal. Weather patterns weren’t conducive to continuing to Nova Scotia, so we wound up in Cuttyhunk to get ready for the next leg of our journey.

After spending a couple months in Minneapolis, we returned to Tilia to get ready to head north for the summer…

Anne returned to meet Jim in Charleston. We enjoyed the city for a few days while waiting for a weather window to sail north. We were rewarded with a great 30-hour sail north to Cape Lookout…

Two friends joined Jim in the Bahamas to help sail Tilia back to the US. We had an amazing trip with good sailing and a remarkable dolphin encounter…

This has been our first week of proper cruising as couple this season! We had a great week exploring some of the quirks and corners of the Abacos together…

We’ve had a nice week of continued Abaco cruising, this time with Jacob aboard. It’s been great to have him as a guest…

We’ve had a couple wonderful weeks with friends in the Abacos. We had hosted two couples and explored several cays with fun adventures on land and water…
