Southbound

As we pull away from the dock, we raise our flag in honor of the folks who have fought to keep us free.  Thank you to all the Veterans and the families and folks that support and defend this country.




Off without a hitch!  Okay maybe the fact that the inverter did not appear to be working at first but that was quickly resolved.  The boys seem to be settled into their spots.  My fingers are crossed in hopes that they will remain this excited the remainder of the trip. 



We will head to Great Bridge Locks today and hope to tie up between the locks and bridge for the night.  
We are hoping to pick up fuel in Deltaville before heading to the bay.  

Thanks to ALL that got us where we are today but most of all thanks to Robin for the tireless hours she donated in helping to make sure we were packed and ready for this journey.  


I will stop here for today.  There is so much to share about the changes and the provisioning of Paradigm Shift bu that will wait till later tonight.  If there is something you are eager to hear about…..

Crucial To Our Trip

When considering what to write about some days, I have often been told that folks want to hear some of the “basics” about a cruisers life.  While Greg and I “cruise” for six months or so, we are not the typical 24/7, 365 days a year cruiser.  But whatever the definition is for you, there are some things that ALL cruisers must think about when planning their next destination. The most important for us is health.  While we both sit with positive COVID results, it seems we were not as diligent about our health as we should have been.  I will offer in our defense that we both had been on the road for 20 hours straight on a trip that should have been 14 and were tired and not as well hydrated or nourished as we typically are when aboard Paradigm Shift.  With the Christmas trip home to Waynesboro, we knew we would be in and our of rest stops, fast food locations, gas stations and such.  Somewhere it got us and while the where does not matter much with this new va...

Please log into  https://paradigmshiftva.com/  No longer will you have to use the “blogspot” or the SailBlogs addresses.  We have our own domain and you can bookmark it and find our latest adventures.

We have honored the quarantine and are about ready to break loose but once again we are at the mercy of the testing sites. Unfortunately (I am not sure I have mentioned this before) there are no home test kits to be found anywhere in the area. Heck even Amazon says it will not have any available until the end of the month. So we will head to the testing facility tomorrow and once again stand in line and wait. It has been a long eight days now and I wish I had something to show for it. Maybe the floors could have been cleaned and all the windows…….I did get some of the louvered doors in the main salon and galley cleaned. But to be honest I have been lazy. I have allowed whatever this Omicron thing is to have its way so that I can get over it quicker. I have a tendency to fight through a cold and as I told others, I would typically have gone to work with this. But I have rested, drank my water, pushed my vitamins and eaten my well balanced diet. Feeling much better today I am still nervo...
