Dickie and Helen bought S/V Harmony, after an exhausting 8 week search across Florida for a sailboat. She will (hopefully) take them from Highland Beach FL, home to Woods Hole ...
May 01, 2009: In September we decided to head north again partly to escape the ravages of hurricane Hannah as it made it’s way north up the coast, and partly to finish sailing the eastern seaboard of the US, adding the waters of New Hampshire and Maine to the states we have visited aboard Harmony. We sailed up Buzzards Bay and through the Cape Cod Canal, our first trip under the canal bridges instead o... » read more

Cool Breeze does the Chesapeake
Starting in Hilton Head Island, SC and traveling to the Chesapeake Bay and back.
May 01, 2009: 7-09-08 We’re on the last leg of our journey. We had a nice dinner at Morgan Creek Grill with Bonnie, catching up and enjoying the company. We’ve promised to keep in touch and hope she and her husband will come to visit. Our last evening was quiet as for some strange reason all the boats were obeying the “No Wake” zone in front of the marina. ... » read more

A year aboard S/V Harmony
July 15th 2009 we move aboard S/V Harmony for a year. We will be hanging around cape cod and the islands for the rest of the summer, then heading south to the Florida Keys for ...
June 01, 2010: Heading south again from Marsh Harbor we sailed about 25 miles to Little Harbor, the last stop in the protected Sea of Abaco before the 50 mile jump across the 12000 foot deep Northeast Providence Channel to the island of Eleuthera. We visited Eleuthera about 13 years ago, just after we got married and stayed in a resort for the whole week without leaving the compound, or seeing any of th... » read more

Villainy sails south for winter
Blog by Clay and Galit sailing Villainy from New York City to Miami, Keys and Bahamas, Fall 2009 - Spring 2010.
June 04, 2010: Little Woody was great and we highly recommend him. He had great stories of the disasters on the reef (good for business) and celebrities that use his service (good for business). And he brought us a carrot cake and 6 johnny cakes that his wife makes (great for business)! The passage was uneventful and I stored the track on my chartplotter. Comparing it to the recommende... » read more

March 20, 2010: I will try once again to post our final blog for Cool Breeze Sails South. In spite of working on it last night and trying to upload photos I made the mistake of hitting the back button which wiped out all my carefully chosen words, and since it was late, I gave up and went to bed. So here we go again . . .. I rose early on our last day on the water and witnessed a beautiful sunrise o... » read more

Come aboard with Will and Bill Hubbard and the crew of the C&C Baltic 46 Dawn Star as we race 2975 nautical mles from Newport, RI to the Lizard, UK in the 2011 edition of the Tr...
18.08.2011: 7/16We’ve gotten the provisional race results and the answer is Dawn Star has one her division! After sailing 3000 nautical miles, spread far between a northern route and a southern route; a mere 53 minutes was the difference between victory and the runner up. Looking back, we could have made or lost that time in countless places during the nineteen day battle against the elements and o... » Mehr...
