Our days with Chloe are coming to a close and she’s getting in all the time she can with her favorite crew mate and faithful friend, “Princess Penelope.” Penelope can be very ridiculous looking, especially when this loathsome thing is strapped to our dingy while we’re underway. Yet, she can be very beguiling to any …
After a windy little week up in Kotor, we headed back down to Porto Montenegro. Once Chloe was finished putting Clark to work up on deck, Mark settled him into the captain’s chair and gave him some instructions. In no time at all he seemed happily settled in and loving it. Chloe’s got Clark …
We headed into the walls of Kotor to take Cheyenne and Clark to climb to to its fortress and take in the amazing views that overlook the bay. This time I stayed back on the boat since the wind was still blowing pretty good while Mark finally got to climb up the steep steps and …
The wind has picked up and has been whipping really good here in Kotor’s bay. Just as it did the last time we were here. The steep mountains act like a huge bernoulli tube which concentrates the wind and rushes it down over the mountains, sweeping down into with a steady push into the bay …
We had to go back one more time to Kotor to let our oldest kids take in the old city, conquer the castle stairs that reach a pitch so high up the mountain side that you think you’ll never get there, and cradle ourselves one more time beneath the steep cliffs that rise above the …
We’re headed back up to Kotor Bay. It’s been a favorite spot and we wanted to share it with Cheyenne and Clark. Our Pro-but-not-getting-paid-for-it Bosun is whipping her new crew in shape. Bosun Chloe is leaving us in a few days and headed to Florida for her internship at Walt Disney World, so she’s …
We headed back to Porto Montenegro and rented a slip for the boat for a few days and to pick up our oldest daughter Cheyenne and her husband Clark who should be arriving tomorrow. Getting into a slip is, well, slippery. It takes some finesse from the captain to back in to a narrow …
Happy 22nd Birthday to our bosun Chloe who keeps the topside of Bedouin running smoothly. We got home just in time to crank up our printer and sting her a up a birthday banner with photos of her cute little face when she was little. We bought a cake at the store since heating up …
We headed to Mokra Gora which is nestled in the Zlatibor mountains near the Šargan Eight Railway. This took us back to our Pacific Northwest roots. While we were there we visited a wooden village nearly called Drvengrad, meaning “wooden town” created by the Yugoslav director Emir Kusturica which hosts a film festival. Emir had …
We’ve passed fields and fields of Sunflowers along our way to Mokra Gora. Chloe loved all the sunflowers. We’ve adapted to not understanding the road signs so much so that we are starting to understand them now.
