OMG, I am loving the looping life. At our last stop, I had this huge grassy area to run my zoomies and water to dip in to cool off. Dallas, a German Shorthaired Pointer, would only chase the ball if it went into the water. Splash! Off she went. I often tried to get the […]

Why are we headed to Chocowinity, NC? Have you ever heard of it? Nope? Me neither!

Before arriving at Chocowinity, we stayed at Beaufort, NC

Beaufort, SC to Myrtle Beach, SC Why are the SC and NC towns of Beaufort pronounced differently? Perhaps to better differentiate them, although they are in different states. The South Carolina town is pronounced “BEW-fert vs. “BOW-fert” in North Carolina. Confusing as all get up, especially when you are someone like me and get things

Traversing The Loop on this trawler is pretty amazing. Mom and Dad are always changing things up for me. Lots of sites to see, lots of new smells to enjoy, and lots of new sounds to experience. First, there were marinas… When we pulled into the first marina, I was psyched to see all that

Being Murphy, the Captain’s Trusty Sidekick, requires a pretty steep learning curve. I mean there’s a lot to learn. For example, I make this whole jumping off and on the trawler to the dock look like munching a piece of kibble now, but hey, there were some hard learned skills going on there. Well look

Dave, Murphy and I set off on our Great Loop Adventure on March 23, 2021 in beautiful 70-degree weather, with fair winds, heading north on the Atlantic Intercoastal Waterway. We stopped after 7 hours of enjoyable cruising at our first anchorage at Ponce De Leon, near the inlet. I was thankful for Dave’s years of

Big, big, big exciting news… we’re off on our journey! Mom and I took our last jog through Cocoa Village last Tuesday morning, and then we left the marina. I will miss those morning jogs. And the land. Yeah, all that dirt. All those wonderful trees, and lovely shrubs, and handy fence posts on good

Well, well, well, it seems as though I’m not the only one whose life aboard the trawler is going to take some getting used to… Mom had a blast as I romped around with her in the winds whipping down from the frigid north during our morning walk at the marina. But as Mom, Dad,
