VACATION with a PURPOSE
Hi there sailing RED folks. Glad you dropped by because we have some news. You know by now our dear R.E.D. has been sold (story here, here and here if you missed it) and is living very happily with a lovely family in the Yukon. At present she has been put to bed for...
R.E.D.’s JOURNEY HOME- to the land of the midnight sun
I’ve taken a long time to write up this post and I’m not entirely sure why. Too busy? Maybe. Too much missing our R.E.D.? Of course, but what I really miss is sailing. Heart-breaking missing sailing. So maybe that’s it. We’ll go with that for now. What I am so...
THE END OF AN ERA – part 2

ROAD TRIP and a SHOW
The following is the story of our recent road trip to Bear River, Nova Scotia... This is the amazing 150 year old captain’s house with a sprawling 5000 square feet of beauty, antiques and charm where we stayed. I had booked the two guest rooms well in advance for us...
R.E.D.’s NEW WINTER HOME
Finally a post about boats and boat-related stuff for you. After six years of putting together the winter igloo, we felt it was time for a change. For practical reasons it was time. The old tarp that we’ve carried from the time R.E.D. came home with us in 2013, the...
