Changes in latitude 🎶 😁 We finally made it south enough for sunshine! 🌞 It’s been really cool cruising the east coast this fall (something Phillip and I have never done before) and we’re excited to share. But this glimpse of crystal green waters, sunshine, and bikini weather told us our journey south has been totally worth it. Warmer climates here we come! 🏝 😎 #havewindwilltravel #outbound46 #bahamas #cruising

Our first night on the UbiQ hook, we caught the local scuttlebutt and fortuitously caught an impromptu on-the-water concert by the infamous Eastport Oyster Boys! What an incredible treat?! Have any of you ever had the privilege of hearing this local Eastport, MD band? They made our first night on the new hook unforgettable! Check it out on the HaveWind blog up today! #havewindwilltravel #eastportoysterboys #outbound46 #chesapeake

Have you ever attended an on-the-water boat concert by dinghy? We can now say we have! What a treat to see the EASTPORT OYSTER BOYS our first night on the UbiQ hook! Thanks to Jeff and Ginger on s/v Talisman (featured in this video). Story coming up soon on the Have wind blog. Life aboard is full of so many unexpected, wondrous surprises like this. 😄🎷🎶 #havewindwilltravel #outbound46 #oysterboys

Connecting (and re-connecting) with fellow cruisers as salty and thoughtful as these two is what really makes our time aboard so memorable. Shout out to @svbluehighway who brought us this awesome “traveling wine bag” which must be signed off and passed down to fellow cruisers who are sailing far and wide. These are the kinds of gifts (and friends) we treasure! We’ll hold it ‘till the time is right. Thank you again Russell and Lynne! #havewindwilltravel #bluehighways #cruisers

The sun’s view. Our view. I can’t decide which is better. 🥰 Either way it was a glorious morning underway. #goldenhour #sunrise #havewindwilltravel #outbound46

Unfortunately, our initial docking of the new 46-foot boat was a bit more bust than thrust. What would you do if the dockmaster told you to take the fairway to the left of the fuel dock, then take your first fairway on the left, then stern-to down on the right? I freaked out a bit and crunched a piling. (Nice Annie ... ) Thankfully with a just few more (non-fatal) crunches, Phillip got us in there for our first harrowing docking of the Outbound 46. We also learned some valuable lessons about the bow thruster (a very new system to us) that I have shared on the blog - up today at HaveWind: "Docking the 46' - Bow Thrust or Bust." Enjoy! #havewindwilltravel #outbound46 #docking #thruster
