Weather windows
Windows open, windows close, and…windows slam shut! How quickly things can change! We’d optimistically hoped the weather would cooperate as initially forecast to allow us to head farther south this weekend, but …. no. The weather window was merely …
And the Beat (Engine) Goes On………..
Another glorious day in paradise! We left Greenport to head across the Sound to Old Saybrook for the next couple of days. Doesn’t this sound incredible? Unlike a land-based home with its annoying necessities, a trawler is a home with …

The Big Trip
