A trip to the boat yard for our lovely yacht Circe. It was time for a haul out and to take care of all those things you can only do when the boat is out of the water. Lots of big projects, some performed by Captain Tony and friends, and others by the highly skilled workers at Berkeley Marine Center. After 5 weeks of hard work Circe is back in the water and better than new!

Well 2021 has brought a lot of interesting things. But the best thing may be that Sea Shanties have taken over Tik Tok. We at Blackbeard think it might be the best use of social media yet! Enjoy.
