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!
Smoke on the Water
We interrupt this blog about beautiful scenery and experiences to talk about a darker side of cruising.

Outlets to Osprey
This must be the week of sea birds. We moored near an osprey nest and enjoyed observing their behaviors.

Pursuing Puffins
We’ve looked for puffins ever since starting to sail in Maine and, for the first time, we found these curious sea birds!

We sailed to Maple Juice Cove at the mouth of the Saint George River and were pleasantly surprised by what we discovered here.
