Posted on May 20, 2011 | 3 CommentsDAY ONE: May 5th. My Birthday. Cinco de Mayo. The beginning of my 50th year on the planet. I’m 49 years old today. We get up at dawn to weigh anchor and head over to the Royal Navy Dockyard which is where all the cruise […] -
Visiting Ondine
Posted on May 19, 2011 | No CommentsSitting here on Sunday night in Bermuda Airport, I’m pondering that it’s exactly 7 days and 839 nautical miles since I joined Ondine at Virgin Gorda. Exactly 7 days before that Grant first mentioned Ondine to me, standing outside the Highbury Barn pub in London […] -
4 Days 4 Hours
Posted on May 1, 2011 | 2 CommentsWe made it to Bermuda in record time 4 days and 4 hours. It was fast but the first 48 hours were rough. It was even too rough for the power of the mighty patch to combat. Adding to the stomach churning nature of the […] -
We’ve left the Caribbean…
Posted on May 1, 2011 | 8 CommentsWe have begun our 5,000+ sailing trip to Greece. And I’ve begun the trip I’ve wanted to complete since I was a little kid. Sail across the Atlantic Ocean as Captain of my own sailing vessel. I’m so excited I can hardly contain myself. I […] -
Videos from Ondine
Posted on December 18, 2010 | No CommentsHere are a couple of videos that we took on the way down south. They are very short clips. I think we can do better in the future as all three add up to less than sixty seconds, but this’ll give you a feel for […] -
The Passage
Posted on December 10, 2010 | 1 CommentI did it. I have survived my first off-shore passage. Six days and 950 nautical miles from Bermuda to Antigua. I could not have done without The Patch. The small round plastic disc of drugs placed behind my ear, which means the difference between feeling […] -
Bermuda to Antigua – Thanksgiving week 2010
Posted on November 30, 2010 | 10 CommentsA while back, James casually asked me if I (along with my kids) would like to join him on his sailing trip from Bermuda to Antigua. I’m firmly of the opinion that,in life, if at all possible, it’s exactly one of those offers that one […] -
The worst or the best passage?
Posted on November 29, 2010 | 1 CommentFinally we’re on land. You would feel the same way if you got seasick or even went on a passage. We just finished our passage from Bermuda to Antigua. It took us 6 days to get to Antigua! I got seasick witch made it very […] -
She keeps kicking my butt, and I keep making her feel better
Posted on November 28, 2010 | No CommentsI have a whole new understanding of dysfunctional relationships thanks to Ondine. So far, I have replaced on Macerator Pump and taken apart another in an effort to fix it. For those of you that still lead blessed lives where you don’t know what a […] -
Which way are we going?
Posted on November 28, 2010 | No CommentsMy whole blogging thing is going to sound like tales of woe, however, the feeling of elation that happens when I fix something is worth every penny. We just had a very scary thing happen. In the middle of the night, on my shift, the […]
