The Monkey's Fist: Collecting Cruisers' Perspectives: Frequent Contributors
http://themonkeysfist.blogspot.com/p/frequent-contributors.html
Our Barrel of Monkeys. Monkey See, Monkey Do. Alan and Dog Chloe. 1985 Falmouth Cutter 22. Gunkholing the San Juan's. After losing everything I have in the world, I purchased a little 22' cutter in need of much love. Two years into the refit the boat is nowhere near ready for long distance voyaging and the budget is zero but that isn't stopping me. We live-aboard and cruise full time, refitting as we can. There is no intended destination, we go where the wind blows. On the Horizon Line. We have sailed sa...

Pinch-me-perfect | Wright Away Sails Away
https://svwrightaway.com/2015/07/22/pinch-me-perfect
Wright Away Sails Away. Going where the water is warm and clear. July 22, 2015. Probably 20 lb. Woohoo, it fed the entire anchorage! It’s a fun way to meet the other cruisers (and try all their tasty side dishes). Check out the shade for our little dinghy excursion. We followed “Teamwork” out to the site, you can see the wreck below the water. One of the props. One of the anchors. A pinch-me-perfect couple of days🙂.

Wright Away Sails Away. Going where the water is warm and clear. May 16, 2016. A friend commented that even though we have talked a lot about all the weather we saw the past few months, all the pictures showed sunny calm water. I flipped through our photos, and sure enough they all look pretty calm. So here you go: the storm clouds building and the eerie calm before the storm in Green Turtle last week. Happy Healer, Anywhere. This is where we are right now and I don’t want to be anywhere but here! The en...

From Land to Live Aboard: Dream Meets Reality
http://from-land-to-liveaboard.blogspot.com/2012/12/dream-meets-reality.html
From Land to Live Aboard. One man, One idea, One journey. The Best Blog List! Sunday, December 2, 2012. Well the day is finally here. It's mostly here anyways. Paperwork in hand, but need to go make it all official like with the government and all the fun that entails. But the S/V . is mine. Actually, now that I think about it, there is no name on the boat, or the paperwork I have. Does this mean I get to name it what I want? How does that all work? That's one thing I definitely didn't look into how to do.

From Land to Live Aboard: Let's get these sails on
http://from-land-to-liveaboard.blogspot.com/2012/12/lets-get-these-sails-on.html
From Land to Live Aboard. One man, One idea, One journey. The Best Blog List! Sunday, December 16, 2012. Let's get these sails on. Today was the day I thought I'd figure out these sails. The previous owner is on his way to Spain so there won't be much in the way of advice on this. Remember - I'm a rookie. I could put the sails on a 16.5' Catalina no problem. But this is a little bigger boat. And I've never put a sail on a roller furler before. One of the old slides. The new one looks better. The roller f...

Wright Away Sails Away. Going where the water is warm and clear. We are Keith and Deborah. Life has repeatedly and painfully shown us that retirement or even next year is not a guarantee so we are doing our best to live life now. Bring on that “bucket list”-we are tackling it from the top down….and item number one is, and always has been, to. Our sweet girl who is still in our hearts. We miss you, Boo. 4 thoughts on “ Crew.

I Belong on the Boat Wrightaway | Wright Away Sails Away

Wright Away Sails Away. Going where the water is warm and clear. I Belong on the Boat Wrightaway. July 20, 2015. Green Turtle also turned out to be the place where it almost all went wrong too. Keith went off in the dinghy one morning and I was down below. I got startled by a double engine powerboat coming up along the side of the boat. I flew out and a guy on the boat asked “this your dog? But we aren’t there yet, so here’s to soaking up some more pretty beaches and clear water until then! Phaedra, yes,...

One couple, two cats and a monohull on the move. A crazy adventure on the horizon. This entry was posted on May 17, 2013, in Uncategorized. And tagged Clipper Round the World. 8220;Robert Granville, Nick Golding, Domenico Grazzani, Tasha Hacker. Holy shit, that’s me! I screamed, jumping up from my seat and reaching over to high-five Ryan. Contrary to your guesses, I was not. Yep, that’s right. I’m going to be an ocean racer. But not to worry. As the Clipper Founder, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston, said in a...
