Sliding Into Home

Amari sailing boat

Sailing forward. It’s all you can do, over an ocean of water. We see the skim of the top, but nothing beneath.

Picture in Picture

Watching her watching, seeing her seeing, being her being.

The Sunset Palette

You must stop. You must stare. It’s not even like you have a choice.

Sailing Crew

The life aboard Amari is obviously a daily burden to bear, lol.

Ocean sunsets

The coming night sky flushes ruddy with its layers of coral, salmon, peach, apricot, carotene, and gold.

Sailing Life On The Atlantic

There’s a giddy relief to being asea, adrift, aloft on the oceantop. It’s a love you cannot know until you let go, and go.

Midnight sailing watches

Moonlight midnight watches are the absolute shit.

Happily Sailing Amari

Hard not to be happy on board this boat with this weather heading to this island home.

Caribbean ocean sail complete

Land ho … and nothing like seeing terra firma after so much rockin and rollin at sea.

As much booty-lockup as we had about the weather before leaving New Bern, the sea gods, prayer bubbles, and random happy thoughts tossed in our direction actually worked!

Except for the momentary freakout that we might not have enough Diesel to make it to port, the days and nights were gracious and the crew fabulous.

For a first passage, I have to say that we felt so lucky. The weather was easy, we caught fish, and zero people died!

We have some dear friends who’s first passage down to the BVI was met with a seriously angry sea, they were beat up pretty good by it all, and had that PTSD thousand-yard stare after arriving.

This video episode below shows life at sea with cooking, fishing, and the thrill and joy of living on board and landing safely on land when it’s all done.
