Over the weekend we attended Prince William Marina’s Annual Slipholders Party and as with the first one it was a blast. This annual event was actually the first one we attended back in February of 2015. We had not even closed on “Getting Away” yet and our sales guy Steve Hedrick invited us to attend….

In October we stopped in at Trawler fest across from Annapolis in Stevensville, MD. While the weather didn’t exactly cooperate it was still a good show.

Anyone who has ever owned a boat knows that boat maintenance is a way of life. For this maintenance day we did an inspection of the genset impeller and swapped the hinge position of the cockpit fridge.

Don’t forget to check out Part 1. Our death by food tour continues. After cheesecake at Juniors we countered the sugar rush and subsequent crash with a matinee on Broadway. For dinner it was time to try out some authentic Italian. We ended up on Mulberry St. in the heart of Little Italy. You could…
While on our first visit to Manhattan, a lot of our planning revolved around various restaurants we wanted to visit and foods we wanted to try. We hit so many restaurants and food hotspots that I decided to split this into two posts. Don’t forget to check out Eating New York Part 2. There are…
We were feeling a little adventurous and fuel prices were down so we decided to run down to the bay and visit Smith Island. The trip was amazing. The destination not so much. After departing friday afternoon we spent the night in Nomini Creek. We originally set anchor in Nomini Bay but a 1 AM…
So Star Keeper has started developing an embolism. The symptoms started out as some stumbling and significantly mismatched wide open throttle RPMs. After doing some research and checking plugs, we found some articles on clubsearay.com outlining an issue with the Cool Fuel modules that were on our 8.1 Engines. It appears that the paint they use…
