We learned about York River Yacht Haven while waiting to be dropped into the water at Zimmermans from a fellow cruiser. This marina is right around the bend from Zimmermans and is well-protected. It's right across the bridge from Yorktown which is full of history and pretty darn cool.

I've always found that I have anxiety about coming into a new marina regarding maneuvering, how narrow the runways are, etc. So, I decided to make my tours of marinas public in case others may find them useful.

We expect to be back here in June/July of 2023, waiting to be hauled out. The floating docks are in great shape. The restaurant onsite is pretty decent and the shop has lots of miscellaneous boating supplies. A short bike ride away is a West Marine. However, don't expect to find supplies for bigger boats there. I suspect, however, you can always have items shipped to the store if you know your schedule.

Laundry facilities are OK. Going to check out the pool in June, but it looks like it's well-kept. The biggest frustration is with the pump out being inoperable. We were told at the time is was scheduled to be fixed. However, receiving an email from the marina recently about options for scheduling a pump out at slip, I see that it is still inoperable. It's exceedingly disappointing to find so few, a poorly maintained, pump out facilities. It was no different in San Francisco.

Across the bridge is Yorktown which is well worth the visit.

Many of our friends have asked us for a tour of s/v While One. Here’s our liveaboard sailboat tour.

In this video, both Sherine and I walk through While One. We walk through all of the cabins, heads, cockpit, Saloon, galley and much of the storage and equipment onboard. If there's anything you'd like further video on or if you just have questions on any of the material, don't hesitate to ask!

We want to thank all of you for your continued support and interest in this new life of ours. It's been so very helpful to know that we have so many that love and like us.

Thanks for watching!

We flew directly from Europe to Norfolk to ready While One for Season 2.

We learned a lot from last year and spent the better part of July and these handful of days prior to heading south, provisioning and doing maintenance on While One.

In this Episode is a How To change the engine and transmission oil on a Honda, 15 H.P. engine. There is also a How To on ascending the mast to fix a problem while trying to raise our headsail.

It's a lot of hard work.

We also successfully completed sailing around Cape Hatteras for the first time as a couple, without the assistance of a captain and his first mate. This trip was cause for much deliberation. We constantly watched our forecast models on PredictWind, read Chris Parker's forecasts and the National Hurricane Center and made our own interpretations.

Our current insurance policy requires us not to navigate south of Cape Hatteras from July thru October. The weather was shaping up for a perfect rounding...but doing so would result in us being south of Hatteras before November. We reached out to the insurance agent on Thursday, requesting permission...it took them practically a week to give us a written endorsement and by that time, we had already made the trip. Suffice it to say, it was a good decision. The weather was perfect but I suspect a storm could have developed in the GOMEX or Atlantic.

With the help of two close friends and my youngest son, we moved While One from Coral Gables up to Titusville. We made several stops along the way including No Name Harbor, Marine Stadium Park, Lake Worth (Palm Beach), Stuart, Fort Pierce and ultimately Cape Canaveral. We had a scare with our first squall (would our stock anchor hold???) and had a long visitation from a school of dolphins.

Thanks for watching.

After flying to Cupertino to turn in our Computers and having one final goodbye to colleagues at Apple, we returned to Palm Cay Marina to get provisioned and await the arrival of our friends.

We had a single day of weather delay, which allowed us to take advantage of the facilities at Palm Cay Marina. The next day, we head on over to the Exumas where we spent the next 10 days or so making our way down to George Town.

In this episode, we visited the following islands and places:

Palm Cay Marina (New Providence Island)
Shroud Cay
Long Cay
Normans Cay
Warderick Wells
Staniel Cay
Lee Stocking Island
George Town

The Land and Sea Park is totally awesome and a must see. We can't wait to make it back in Season 2.

In this Episode, we sail from Key Biscayne down to Key West. We stop at Rodriguez Key and also Marathon, each for a night. We had some great sailing most of the way down.

We encountered a problem trying to sock our Oxley Levante Parasail. It was definitely a learning experience. Then, we got held up from making our way to Garrison Bight to grab an anchor ball due to Offshore World Championships. We've never seen boat racing before...it was quite amazing.

Key West was awesome. We spent about 3 weeks, in total, exploring Key West. We visit Sloppy Joes, the Green Parrot, Earnest Hemingway's house and Papa Pilar's distillery, to name a few spots. We saw the Garcia Project at The Key West Theater...super cool.

I also walk through the rigging of our Parasail.

This video takes us back to January of 2024 and shows just a piece of what life in Georgetown on a sailboat is like. Sherine and I spent our birthdays there this year and there's many great restaurants we found worth of our celebration.

We had the goal to make it down to the Ragged Islands but, unfortunately, the weather systems were frequent and not spaced out enough. We learned that there's little refuge from W and NW winds should a storm come. Furthermore, we also heard that the Ragged Islands were very crowded with too many boats jockeying for two few anchorages....maybe this years.

So, we ended up spending a bunch of time in Georgetown and ultimately used it as a "jumping off" point for several of our visitors. We did find the time to take a trip to Long Island between storms and we're so glad we did. Long Island is quiet and a bit sleepy but it has a ton of stuff to do and go see. We saw the Columbus Monument, a Blue Hole and the largest sharks I've seen to date in the Bahamas.

Long Island has great provisioning and, in fact, we were able to find some items there which were out of stock in Georgetown.

Check it out.
