Sailing to St. Kitts

Off to St. Kitts.... should be there by tomorrow morning! Check the SPOT map for updates on our position.

Summer Adventure!

This summer we are embarking on an epic voyage! (Well, maybe not epic, people did it in canoes thousands of years ago, that was e-p-i-c.) Still, quite an adventure for us and we will be covering a lot of new ground!! Starting from Virgin Gorda near the top of the map, we will sail east to St. Martin and then south all the way to Grenada and back, stopping at various islands along the way. Yes, we know what we're doing. Yes, it will be awesome. Yes we have a satellite phone and a GPS and an EPIRB. And finally, yes, you can come with us for part or all of the return voyage! Email me for details.

Sea Island Boat Works

So I have worked on or sailed a few boats so far in my life, starting from an 8' long fiberglass sailing dinghy custom built by Tom and Charlie Bunger of Bunger Surf Shops, up to a 99' party barge in NY harbor. Many of the sailboats, however, have been built at Sea Island Boatbuilders (formerly Sea Island Boat Works) in South Carolina.

The first such boat was the Spread Eagle II, a 51' catamaran out of Fajardo, PR:

Then, I moved up to captain the Katarina, a brand new 32' SeaRunner, in Rincon, PR:

There are a number of other Sea Runners down here in the VI, including Dancing Dolphin:

Adventurer and Adventuress:

And the newest delivery, Kekoa, a 50', 99-passenger version of Katarina that will operate out of the Westin in St. John:

Equipped with twin 75 HP diesels and all sorts of toys and goodies, she is pretty sweet!
