All Hands

A little somethings I was having fun with on leg seven of this past offshore. I saw a spread in Irving Johnson's Book, Sailing to See call "All Hands" and wanted to try it out for myself. For those of you who would call themselves a land lubber we give a call of "all hands ...." to perform various tasks around the boat, most often "all hands on deck to raise sail"

Home Sweet? Home

I have returned! We came home to an amazing amount of support on the dock and after a lovely ceremony and being lovingly mobbed for an hour or two I packed up all my things and am officially off the boat until the end of July. It was fantastic to see everyone's face once again and I look forward to spending time with every one! Love to you all, Sarah.

PT At Last

Wow, so excited to be in Port Townsend again. I have very nostalgic feelings toward this place since I first visited it last offshore and so enjoy its artsy, nautical, laid back lifestyle. The last passage was a fantastic one, even if it did have want for a little more wind, we ended the passage with a four or so days of great sailing and some of the calmest waters that I have ever experience offshore (save for PNG maybe...) Looking forward to a few slow days enjoying and soaking up the last of our time out here. Can't wait to see you all!
