May 27, 2013 – Home Again, Home Again
Tired as dogs! We sat there on the dock for about a half hour, re-living the “best sail of our lives” and re-enacting some of the more ‘harrowing’ and hilarious moments from the initial crossing, in awe, really, that we … Continue reading

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

Like Phillip told me, apparently watching others dock is highly entertaining, particularly couples and particularly mouthy ones. It’s now a favorite past-time for Phillip and I. If Phillip and I are kicked back in the cockpit at the marina and … Continue reading

May 25, 2013 – The Crossing Finale – Duct Tape and Dasani

April 17-23, 2013 – The Crossing: Final Chapter – Did He Say Curly Fries?
We all stood helpless, watching the boat inch closer and closer to the Catamaran. I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth (the only thing I knew to do at the moment) while my mind conjured horrific images of boat … Continue reading
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
