We are excited to welcome Carefree Boat Club of Lake Norman to Morningstar Marinas! The Club has recently moved its six boats and operations to Kings Point in Cornelius, North Carolina. Although it is only a small move, Carefree Boat Club members will enjoy many added conveniences at Kings Point including: use of the gas dock within a few boat lengths of the slips, unloading their vehicle less than 100 feet from the dock, concessions and a Ship’s Store, spacious men’s and women’s restrooms with showers, and waterfront picnic facilities. The Carefree Boat Club staff will have a waterfront office to better care for their boats and growing membership.
The Carefree Boat Club of Lake Norman enables members to enjoy the boating lifestyle with concierge service without owning a boat. Membership also includes use of boats at other Carefree Boat Club locations in Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Florida, and Texas. For more information on the Carefree Boat Club, visit carefreeboats.com.

Hello Janice and Alan,Just moved to Stuart, FL from Norfolk, VA. Found your blog on St Lucie Sailing Clubwebsite. I can answer most qunstioes regarding the Chesapeake Bay from Annapolissouthward. Good spot to go for a week? Gwynns Island, at the confluence of the Piankatank and Rappahannock Rivers. Very reasonable prices for daily and weekly rates. Central location for exploring the area, like Urbana and Carter Creek (fine dining at The Tides ), Tangier Island, etc. Also York River Yacht Haven for a variety of reasons. They also have a top notch restaurant River’s Inn. Good anchorage, very clean facilities, full service yard, plus other reasons. Really good anchorage on the Eastern Shore at Kiptopeake State Park, locally known as The Concrete Ships. Good marinas? You need to qualify what constitutes a good marina for you. Good huricane hole? Inside the locks at Great Bridge,on the Albemarle (Eastern) Branch of the ICW in Chesapeake, VA. Slightly better is the Atlantic Yacht Basin (marina) just East of the locks. First come, first serve. Heat and insects worse than Florida? VA has house flies that have a very painful bite, even 30 miles off shore and No See-ums. Vicious little critters. At anchor, 5 knots of wind will keep bugs away. Going outside or ICW? Depends. Going outside is no big deal. With friends, I’ve done the circumnavigation of the DelMarVa peninsula 7 times in 14 years now, going the opposite direction each time to mix it up a little. Weather usually is the prime determinator. Just some highlights, I’ve done the ICW from Norfolk to Ft. Lauderdale. Bermuda twice, Martha’s Vineyard once, Stanford Conn once, NYC 4 times, Tortola, BVI once in 12 days, Georgetown, Exumas/Bahama, St. Marteen (FR) in 9 days, and most recently/this spring St. Thomas to Aruba to Panama. I prefer going outside because there are fewer unlighted obstacles to avoid when sailing at night. Watches are more relaxed. If sailing isn’t fun, you should find something else to do, that is fun. For more particulars, whys and wherefores it is probably best to e-mail me. All the best,Richard SteeleS/V Petto Rosso

Maybe that would help, though sadly I think the pelrobm is huge and complex. Could rant on about the ills of modern society ad infinitum! In the end I think it comes down to the individual and to people working together in community, as I doubt big business or government, on the whole, will act until they have to.X

Thanks for that margaret, good news ienedd.I know what you mean about being loath to give it up. I’m here in a cafe just so I can log on. Though I am finding that not having access to the internet on the boat makes me less inclined to bother with it, and with limited access it makes me more discerning about what I do with my time, virtually no surfing now or watching youtube and the like I like it XX
