Theft Unchecked and the Need for Community Involvement

Feb 8, 2020

My family and I were the victims of a crime in St. Lucia, committed in the early morning of January 26, 2020. Rather than internalizing the experience or moving on in silence, I would like to share our story to raise awareness about the challenges we and many others face as victims, and to empower people to speak up for justice.

Saba 50 Commissioning (Part 1)

Dec 13, 2017

We are nearing the end of our 18-month long wait to be able to sail our yacht, Space Between, for the first time! It's been a lot of planning; a lot of waiting; and a lot of anticipation.

I have so much to cover in the post, it's overwhelming. But I wanted to get this online for the benefit of anyone else who may be interested. I am sure we will have follow up videos in the future regarding our experience with Fountaine Pajot and Atlantic Cruising Yachts.

ASA Training

Nov 7, 2016

I was perfectly happy to buy a boat and learn as we went; perfectly happy to have never set foot on a boat prior to taking off on our adventure; perfectly happy to run it aground on our first outing. Katie, however, thought some training would be prudent.
