| Page Views: 3,077 Last Visit to Wynne: October, 2002 | 2001 Intercoastal Waterway Leg 1-Wynne- Kilmarnock by grandmaR - last update: Jun 21, 2008 |
In the fall of 2000, Bob and I took our boat RosalieAnn from MD down the Intercoastal Waterway (ICW) to Key West, and then down to the Dry Tortugas. Then we visited the Bahamas briefly and came home. I wrote up the trip and emailed it to family and friends. This illustrated document is about the beginning of the 2001 trip.
Our boat (pictured at our home dock after Hurricane Isabel in 2003) has two separate sleeping cabins, each with its own head (toilet) and sink. The main saloon has two bunks, a corner settee, a dinner table around the base of the mast (which goes right down inside the boat) and the galley (kitchen) which has a stove, sink, a large refrigerator and freezer. There is also a separate shower, but when we are cruising we normally use the forward cabin (called the V berth because it is in the bow and is V shaped) as a ?garage? to store stuff. This year we packed all the stuff from the garage (including Scuba gear) into the shower which was full to the top, so that our guests could use the V berth. |

Getting ready to leave Oct 23, 2001 Smith Creek - Point Lookout Marina (our home marina). Max and Lucette, the couple that helped us take pictures of the boat under sail, are riding with us until the middle of Nov. They were driving up from FL where their boat, the 33 foot version of our boat, is docked. I called them on the cell phone about 6 p.m. and they were just crossing into MD, so we walked out to eat dinner at a nearby restaurant. We were walking back to the marina when Max and Lucette arrived. |
On our way Oct 24, 2001 We cast off from our slip in Smith Creek, and were in the Potomac by 10 am. Winds were from the SSW, so we sailed a bit out of the Potomac, but then had to motor into the wind which was up to 19 knots against us with 4-5 foot waves in the Bay. We saw a topsail schooner Mystic Maid (below right) as we came out of the Potomac (probably coming back from the races) and lots of menhaden boats off Reedville. For next segment, see

Rosalie, Incredible site you have! I'm just getting started. Loved picture of Mystic Maid. See more ASTA Tall Ships 2005 on my site. Doug (ex sailor) | bluecrab Thu Jul 22, 2004 17:20 UTC
I recommend Courtney's if you want for good seafood in a relaxed atmosphere. The crabs are excellent, her Maryland crab soup is wicked, fresh fish entrees are well prepared with generous portions, and her fruit cobblers are legendary. | utttz Mon Jan 20, 2003 18:47 UTC
