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

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

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!
