I can not believe that it is already mid June! We have 2 more months of charters in the Bahamas and then we are headed back to New England for hurricane season! Blue Gryphon will be doing her yard period at Front Street Shipyard, which is conveniently about a 10 minute drive from our house! Read More
It is now mid April, and it has been almost 4 months since my last blog post. The last time I wrote a blog, we had just bought our cute coastal cottage in Northport, Maine and at the same time, we had decided to start a new adventure on board an 83 foot catamaran named Read More
The last time I posted a blog, Jon and I had hauled Split Second out in Belfast, ME. That was the start of our vacation period which ended up being much longer than expected. Due to the many events… During our vacation, the islands were hit with two devastating hurricanes, so as the crew, we Read More
Last Friday, Jon and I hauled out Split Second at Front Street Shipyard in Belfast, Maine. Once the boat is on the hard, it marks the start of our real vacation! I must admit, after living on the water for an extended period of time, it is strange to be on land again. I do Read More
As most of you know, we have been back in New England since July 3rd! And let me tell you, it has been quite refreshing! Don’t get me wrong, we love the tropical climates as well, but there is something about the New England coast that just makes us feel at ease. This is where Read More

AT THE BEGINNNING OF ALMOST EVERY CHARTER I GET ASKED THIS VERY SAME QUESTION…“IS IT REALLY HARD WORKING IN THIS INDUSTRY WITH YOUR HUSBAND? I COULDN’T IMAGINE LIVING AND WORKING TOGETHER 24/7…” OF COURSE, THIS PROMPTS ME TO THINK TO MYSELF, “WELL I DIDN’T MARRY JON TO BE WITHOUT HIM. I MARRIED THIS MAN SO Read More
We are now in the Bahamas! We left St. Thomas last week on April 14th around 2:00pm. We finished three charters back to back aboard Split Second on April 13th, and immediately picked up two of our best friends Brynne and Cooper and readied ourselves for the long delivery ahead. We went out to dinner Read More
Last week, Jon, Isaac and I were located in St. Barths. We were on an owners trip, and lucky for us, he wanted to view the Bucket Race! It’s amazing how many gorgeous monohulls we got to see race. Here are a few just to give you an idea… On the third day of the Read More
