Richmond Hill, GA – A Tranquil Haven Along the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway

Estimated reading time: 9 minutes – SBFL* Stop 35 – Planned – Embarking on our whimsical journey aboard Life’s AOK, in our Slow Boat to Florida (SBFL), tracing the waters from the frosty north down to the sun-kissed south, we’ve docked at our thirty-fourth haven: the enchanting city of Savannah, Georgia. However, the adventure doesn’t pause here; oh no, it’s merely a comma in our grand tale of exploration. For those who’ve been with us from the start since our 2018 post, “Slow Boat to Florida,” you’re well aware that our pace is more ‘meander’ than ‘marathon.’ Why rush when every ripple and breeze along the Florida-bound journey is a story waiting to be savored?...

There’s the fairy-tale allure of castles, the irresistible pull of mouthwatering Danish pastries, and that ineffable “Hygge” vibe that’s as cozy as your grandma’s knit sweaters. But what if I told you there’s a hidden nautical treasure? The highlight of our visit to beautiful Copenhagen was finding a hidden gem—the legendary Royal Danish Yacht Club (RDYC), a place that’s steeped in maritime majesty.

All ashore for A Boater’s Rendezvous with Copenhagen and The Royal Danish Yacht Club – Part 1

Estimated reading time: 15 minutes – ABR* – Water. Isn’t it just a siren call for the senses? The comforting rhythm of its waves, the allure of its mood swings, and the morning sun gleaming off its surface like it’s showing off its stash of liquid gold! As a mariner who cruises for pleasure, I’m head over keel for these aquatic charms. If you’re a dry-footed reader, beware – you just might end up with a severe case of sea fever! My day starts with a simple sip of water in the cozy confines of our boat. Soon, I find myself adrift in a sea of thoughts. Picture this—in an age where land-based commute is...
