Jule III in 2008-2009
After nearly three years, we have a clean bill of health and passed our Coast Guard physicals. We are now getting back into shape. However, the pups are now the unhealthy ones and old ages is taking its toll, especailly on Levi, our 14 year old Husky/Malamute. So, this season will see limited cruising again; maybe just the Chesapeake/Wilmington shuffle. However, we do have a special trip planned for this year.
Jule III in 2007-2008
The Fates are still opposing our cruising. The good news is that the puppies are doing well but slowing down. We hope that we have a couple more good years with them. Ann's medical situation continues to haunt us. Early 2008 will see her back in the hospital for corrective surgery. However, we hope to get some modest cruising adventures under our keel this season. We'll see!
Jule III in 2006-2007
No major cruises this year as we are enjoying the famly and our aging dogs (the cat will never die). We are preparing Jule III for her next great voyage. While we wait for that time, we will shuttle between the Chesapeake and the Cape Fear. Sound boring? Maybe not!
Voyage 2005-2006
We learned from the past several years not to have concrete plans. Sooo, we aren't telling you what we have planned other than general destinations. Stay tuned for this season's adventures of the Todd family on the Jule III!
Voyage 2004-2005
We got a late start this year so we had to cancel our trip to New England
(again). We are headed for the Bahamas again with a return trip to Bermuda
(insurance permitting). Not so fast! Bob had a minor heart attack in
September '04. Doctor says cruising is out the question this year. Stay
tuned for updates on mini-cruises.
Alternative Voyages:
We delayed our trip to the Outer Bahamas until Fall of 2004.
(see why). Instead we scheduled a seies of alternative trips
to fill the winter/spring of 2004.
Voyage 2002-2003:
We headed back to the Bahamas, met many old and new friends, decided
that dogs were dirt dwellers, almost lost the cat, family emergency,
and lots of great cruising. Go have a look-see.
Voyage 2001:
We planned a bigger and better Voyage 2000 with more of a concentration on
The Bahamas and pet management. No Go! Why? Check it out!
Voyage 2000-2001: This was a 6 month experiment on coastal and
offshore sailing. We sailed from the Chesapeake Bay to the Florida
Keys, Dry Tortugas, and the Bahamas. The experiment was a success!
Voyage 1997: We planned and executed a circumnavigation of the
DelMarVa (Delaware-Maryland-Virginia) peninsula in 1997. Our first offshore
voyage:
Voyage 1996: We planned a short trip to the Carolinas but we
we asked by the USA to assist in Relief operations in Bosnia Herzegovina
and Central Asia (Afghanistan relief). Here is a quick picture book summary.
