We returned to Peace IV from our one week airplane visit to family in Great Britain quite exhausted but pleased that we had seen Neville’s mother who is 94. We also saw some of the British friends who helped us build this boat including Mike who will eventually build a Tiki 30. He is 17…

We were just anchoring about 30 miles north of Bill Tait’s house, when he suddenly appeared in his fancy sport fish boat, Flying Fish having zoomed at between 30 and 40 knots up the ICW to see us. This Wharram community is maybe the best thing about owning a Wharram catamaran. With the several recent…

Morning off South Carolina. The pod is the place to be offshore. Coastally, it is ok as a nav station, chart storage, place to toss clothes when the sun comes out, and it is good shelter to hide behind in the cockpit when beating to weather until you figure out something better to do with…

We are listening to Senator Kerry concede the election to President Bush. Making it additionally surreal is that we are anchored in Camp Le Jeune Military training base right in the middle of a military exercise using blank ammunition. We watch from our fore deck while sitting on lawn chairs and thinking of the future…

Oct 13 We left the anchorage in Cape May at the bottom of the Delaware River around 1030 in the morning even though the current was against us all day. To make it more interesting, the forecast included light rain and not helpful winds but worse was to come when the dregs of Hurricane Matthew…

Hello everyone, Autumn evenings are drawing in, leaves in New England are turning fantastic colors, and the sky is that astonishing clear blue that tells us it is time to head south for the winter. We will leave in a few days. Meanwhile, we have glorious memories of the best summer yet. Weather was moderate,…

Hello everyone, Folks often ask us what we eat on the boat. Well, here is something that has been invented on this boat and is designed to be made on the top burner although it could be baked in an oven at 350 degrees if you have one. A heat distributor protects pots on the…

Hi Everybody, Yesterday we had one of those ultra thunder and lightning storms with torrents of water lashing the deck. Of course we were not as ready for it as we had thought so both got soaked rushing on deck at the worst time. It was warm, summery rain though, so only a laugh followed…
