May 26, 2013 – The Crossing Finale – Best Sail of Our Lives
The sun peeked up above the horizon around 6:00 a.m. the next morning, finding us stretching and blinking in the cockpit, ready for a big cup of coffee and a crisp morning sail. We readied the boat, taped up a … Continue reading

April 17-23, 2013 – The Crossing: Final Chapter – Did He Say Curly Fries?

April 17-23, 2013 – The Crossing: Chapter Four – Good, Quality People
I would like to say we woke Saturday morning to the peaceful sounds of birds and water gently lapping the hull, but that’s just not how it happened. Phillip and I had the pleasure of waking to his Dad hovering … Continue reading
