Yesterday morning around 5am, we were underway to St. Maarten! Let me tell you, Jon, Isaac and I have never been happier to sail into rough seas. We had been on the dock in Nanny Cay for about 2 weeks! Maintenance, maintenance and more maintenance needed to be done…and thankfully, Split Second has never been Read More
Do what you love. Love what you do.
Our past month in review…
It’s been about a month since my last post and there sure have been a lot of great happenings on Split Second. Our family got to pay us a visit at the end of January! Jon and I loved showing them our new float house and of course all of the beautiful islands we get Read More
Still going strong.
Last week we completed our 3rd charter on Split Second! This last charter was a flotilla consisting of 9 Lagoon 620’s and 2 Lagoon 560’s. It was quite fun to be around so many other crews that have the same career as us. Of course, we had plenty of time to share stories, the good Read More

Since our last post, we have had a successful Boss trip, had about a week and half of down time, and now we are nearing the end of our 10 day Christmas/New Year’s charter! It was great to have some down time considering Jon and I basically chartered for 3 weeks straight (we had a Read More
Grunka. A True Mariner.

His first boat was a Beetle Cat. Next was a Herreshoff 12 1/2, W.L. Warner 20″, Shaw 24 Yawl, C&C 27, C&C 35, Pearson 365 ketch, Read More

Delivery, Boat Show, Gearing up…
I am sorry for the lack of posts these past few weeks. Jon, Isaac and I have been quite busy lately! Isaac (our third crew member) arrived in Grenada on October 25th which was the day after we got back in the water once we had finished our yard period. Upon his arrival, we welcomed Read More
Yard Period
Jon and I arrived in Grenada around 3pm last Saturday. After an extremely long week packing, moving, and finishing up a required safety course, it was nice to be back on island time. Don’t get me wrong, the departure was filled with lots of tears shared between our family and our fur babies. Everytime we Read More
Gearing up to head out…bittersweet!
About a month ago, Jon and I returned home from Grenada for our final month in Maine before heading to the islands for the long haul! We have truly cherished our time here, and have spent most of our time visiting with friends, family, our furs, and of course packing once again :-). I must Read More
