This Tadventure© serial relates the death defying, nine day voyage of the sailing vessel, “Dire Wolf” as it journeyed from Annapolis, Maryland to Charleston, South Carolina, initially, with three hardy and intrepid souls onboard.  Others may disagree about some of the choices we made along the way and some of the suspense about the eventual outcome has dissipated (since I’m here to write about it), but I think it’s a helluva story.

The Tadventure© continues with the second day of the trek from Annapolis to Charleston on the good ship, Dire Wolf.  Day Two finds our stout sailors in Portsmouth, Virginia following a raucous and wet sail down the Chesapeake Bay at night.  Others may disagree but I think Day Two promises to be even more fun!  [Warning:  this missive contains adult language.] (more…)

Day Three of the “Wolf Heads South,” a Tadventure© of demonstrable clarity and veracity, finds the boat tied securely to a bulkhead in Coinjock, NC, the crew showered and rested, a hearty meal having been consumed the night before.  Others may disagree but this third installment promises to be short. (more…)

The Tadventure© moves right along with Dire Wolf logging the most miles in the history of ICW travel (for us).  The weather was closing in as we moved in a southerly direction, sheer terror on the horizon (another gale).  Others may disagree but this particular day would serve well as a primer for what not to do in the Ditch. (more…)

Here it is!  Day Five of Dire Wolf’s southern jaunt.  This Tadventure©, starring your author in a cameo role as MacGyver, will keep you on the edge of your seat, wondering aloud, “Will the intrepid voyagers make it out alive?!?”  Others may disagree but I think you may also utter, “Gary must really hate Tad for objectively recording and reporting each and every day, exactly as it occurred.” (more…)
