“Go small, go simple, go now!”
” A tourist remains an outsider throughout his visit; but a sailor is part of the local scene from the moment he arrives.”
– Anne Davison

ALL ABOUT R.E.D.
Finally! a post about R.E.D. Not about RED by the Sea. Not about beaches, pretty scenery or gardens or guests. Just R.E.D. This is after all a blog called sailingred.com isn’t it? Yes our lives have changed considerably since moving to the east coast. Our past...
APRIL SHOWERS, MAY FLOWERS and BIG MACHINES
Almost two full months since we’ve been in touch. I was trying to think what had happened to make the time fly by so fast but I guess when we’re busy time soars here at R.E.D. by the Sea. We are really excited to have a place to splash R.E.D. this season. Yacht...
SPRINGING FORWARD
My goodness gracious this month went fast! Time for a little update from the crew because aside from some fun things that have happened this month, we have some very good news to share with you (inserting my happy dance here) First off, we had family from Quebec...

Time for an update from the crew? OK then... We’re on the down slide of winter here in our little home in the country. There hasn’t been much winter to speak of really. A few dustings of snow. Barely reason to shovel the white stuff but it gave us a chance to use...

THE OTHER SHOE
The other shoe? No I’m not talking about the shoe stash that Francois found during our move-in. I’m referring to the moment when everything is so perfect...the planets align...those ducks line up...all the flawless buying/selling/moving transactions...and you somehow...
OUR DAY IN PHOTOS
I decided to post this update because sometimes I think we are missing connection with a few of you who aren’t subscribers to social media. Not everyone is a Facebooker or Instagrammer you know, so here is a slice of our day today directly from us to you. We’re...
NESTING
To say we are a little overwhelmed these days would be an understatement but it’s an electric energizing kind of feeling. Trying to strike a balance of the ‘want to do’s’ with the ‘have to do’s’ with all of the ‘would rather do’s’ has kept us hopping since moving in....
MOVING IN – finally!
Here we are, the 31 day of October 2017...our official move in day. So much has gone on in the past six months. Condo sold. A whole lot of down-sizing, selling and donating. The total of our posessions packed into an 8’x8’x16’ POD container. A car, a boat and...
