Apolonia

WELCOME

Hello, we’re Phil and Carey Bolin. This website serves as a platform to record our past boating trips, over 40,000 miles, so we, and our family and friends, can look back in our old age to review the fun we had.

The web site is divided into three sections, each one marking changes to software I used to make the pages. 

Section I is a website that provides a blog using WORDPRESS that covers the current time back to 2017. It is a mixture of boat trips, short excursions with boating clubs, and non-boating family activities. You can go to Section I at this link: PhilandCareyBolin.com. 

This is Section II and covers boating activities from 2014 to 2018 (some overlap with Section I); two trips to the Bahamas from Colonial Beach, VA, and a trip in Florida to Lake Okeechobee. It also provides details on boats we've owned and a link to Section III (the Travels Before 2014 TAB)

Section III covers boating activities from 2005 to 2017; a Great Loop trip, 4 Bahama trips, a triangle trip north to Ottawa, moving Cherish, a 68-foot Burger up the ICW, a short trip in the Chesapeake and a couple of land trips. You can go directly to Section III at this link: Section III front page files or by using the TAB above labeled "Travels before 2014."  Returning from Section III requires use of the back button or typing in another URL.

We tell the story that the original Apolonia is named for the Goddess of Friendship and Sunshine ... it works ... but the real story is that the first owner was a Dentist and he named the boat Apolonia as Apolonia is the Patron Saint of Dentists. Whatever, the original Apolonia has now been sold as is our second Apolonia the Maxum 3760 Express Cruiser.  We're now in Colonial Beach VA and using our "new to us" 42' Grand Banks Classic Trawler.  

See the details of our trips, plus information on our boats, using the links above. Each section has comments and pictures. If you have comments or questions click here to email us.
