The Fourth of July
Almost a quarter of a millenium ago, the Constitutional Congress declared independence from the British monarchy. How’s that going for us today?

Sailing Fregata
Join us on our 2025 adventure cruising the North Atlantic aboard aboard s/v Fregata.
This blog started in 2023, when we sailed our Beneteau 41.1 True North from Rochester, New York to Maine via the St. Lawrence River, Québec and the Canadian Maritimes. That cruise is chronicled in our blog and in this May ’24 Cruising World article.
In 2024, we sold True North and acquired an Amel 50 Fregata, which we picked up in Florida and sailed up the Atlantic Coast back to Maine. Read all about that adventure in our blog.
This year, after nearly 4,000 nautical mile voyages the past two years, we’re excited to continue to explore New England. We will be joined from time to time by friends wanting to share the experience. We hope you enjoy our blog. Feedback is always welcome in the comments section at the end of each post.
Welcome aboard!
Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay
Casco Bay is an interesting archipelago offshore from Portland.

Sweet Baby James
I’ve never met anybody who doesn’t like James Taylor. And even at 77 years of age, a sellout crowd suggests that hasn’t changed.
