Some recent family snaps….
An eventful 24 hours
We’ve had a very interesting time recently. A Little too eventful in many ways. Yesterday evening we left Boston Harbor and headed to the Harbor Islands. Seven miles out, these islands are a peaceful place to stay overnight and get a head start on our trip the next day. I plan to anchor behind the […]
Squall
One of the most frequent questions we are asked is ‘have you had any storms? Scary times?’ And thus far, we’ve been lucky enough to be able to say no, eight thousand miles and not even gale force winds. Well, today the weather gods decided to play a few games with us. We’d been sailing […]
Issieism
Being the odd family we are, our idea of afternoon entertainment today was to take the kids to Logan Airport where there is a play-place, viewing area and coffee.

Back in Boston
We’ve had a fun couple of days in Rockport, some thirty miles north of Boston, and today we came down the final stretch to close the loop on our Maine adventure since June. At last, the wind blew and we were able to sail for the whole four hour trip. The seas were short and […]
South from Portland
Gesa’s been writing good long emails again, so I thought I’d borrow one to describe, in her words, our recent few days as we start heading back towards Boston from Portland. The weather has been uncooperative, as you will read, in fact this first week in August is proving to be something of an ‘English’ […]
Mummyism – a step too far
“Max”, says Gesa after dinner, “now go wash your hands and face” “OK.” says Max and he happily moves towards the heads – our term for bathroom. “…and you might as well brush your teeth too.” Uh oh. Max stops in his tracks. “NO MUMMMY. Because then you’ll say pyjamas, stories and bed and I […]
