GEAR ALERT 🚨 We love this @icomamericainc VHF f GEAR ALERT 🚨 We love this @icomamericainc VHF for many reasons, but the primary reason is the red backlight for night. Our old vhf was so bright even on the “night” mode…we had to put an opaque cover over the screen in order to preserve our night vision. When purchasing your next vhf, be sure to consider its nighttime usability. You can read an article by Ben about VHF best practices on @americansailing A+ and in there new 1/4ly publication Passages. #sailingprotips

Finally out on ROCINANTE! This gentleman has been Finally out on ROCINANTE! This gentleman has been trying to sail with us for a few years now, but life got in the way! We’re so happy he could finally make it work! ROCINANTE is beginning her sail North from Buzzards Bay towards Rockland, with the plan to arrive before the wind and waves of Hurricane Erin reach The Gulf Of Maine.
Working aboard schooners and tall ships like this Working aboard schooners and tall ships like this one @schoonerfrench taught me so much! This old girl was built in 1871 here in Maine to carry cargo. Now she carries passengers in the windjammer trade. I always encourage any and all sailors to get aboard as many different boats as possible to expand your knowledge and vocabulary of sailing, seamanship and to gain perspective. Yachts are by comparison very easy to sail and maneuver. Vessels like the Lewis R French take some coaxing and ingenuity to get them to do what you want… if even. I worked aboard The French as a young man fresh out of college. It was the first boat job I ever had. Obviously, a life changing experience 🙂 She’ll forever hold a special place in my heart 🫶
