Arrival

-
We made it!! First day of driving was way too long for what it was, mostly because there was a huge line to cross the boarder and just to make it worst, it was something like 95F in the car, no AC. Thank you Grand-maman Ginette for the toy fans!!! They saved all of our lives. Once on US soil, we had to go through "interrogation" because our story was kinda unusual I guess. 😉 Obviously they believed it because we made to the other side!!

Yesterday, the kids got to see the boat for the first time. That was exciting, even for us. We were super happy when Rolianne was launched in the water. AND when the engine started smoothly to get to our slip. 😁 We’re home!!!!



We spent the rest of the day sorting things out and finalizing the little modifications that were still to be done on the boat. Same thing for this morning. 

 Fun fact: On both days, we had to drop everything we were doing to head to the beach, because it’s freaking hot down here!!!

First night out for Rolianne!

Finally! We made it outside Casa Rio marina with Rolianne! It took a little while for us to get her ready, but yesterday we took her out of her slip for the first time. It was not totally gracious (we had a hard time passing by the two wooden poles defining our spot with the wind) but once out there, it was a lot of fun to be in the Bay! After a little ride, we anchored in a quiet part of Rhode river, had a pizza on the BBQ and spent the night. It was awesome and refreshing!!

Return to “warmer” waters

Home sweet home... That’s how it felt when we got back to Rolianne after many hours on planes and in airports. The boat was just how it was when we left, apart from additional rust on different things we didn’t think of putting inside! We enjoyed the marina’s facilities for a little longer than we were supposed to, as we extended our stay there due to bad weather expected for a couple of days. So we went fishing and cleaned up the boat! 🤪 Finally, on the 23rd, we were able to leave the marina for some sailing and adventure in the Keys! We wanted to make it to Content Keys, to explore isolated beaches with the dinghy. We made it to Johnson Key the first day and anchored there for the night. It was again cold, windy and cloudy. January has been that way all around North America I guess! The next morning, we had to go hide in Bogie channel because the forecast was all about rain, thunderstorm and wind. Personnally, I prefer being around civilization when it comes to bad weather. So w
