Good morning everyone. As I write this post in my living room I cannot help but feel the sense of " wasted time" on a perfect boat prep day. Why would you say this you may ask? Well..... we are stuck on the hard - literally. Like many others around the world this is the time that we spend completing all the little or even bigger jobs while we are hauled to get us ready for the summer boating season. [ 626 more words ]

Hello everyone, Here we go again for yet another sailing season spring prep. As if we all didn't have enough challenges getting everything done before we splash, now the universe throws us a curve ball with COVID-19. As many of you know Tammy, Ray and myself live in NY state so travel is not possible right now. However we still have many things we can do at home to prepare us for our season. [ 573 more words ]

Hello everyone! When we last left off we were searching for a Catamaran that would accommodate all of our cruising needs. At the time we decided to sell Ocean Phoenix we had viewed a few different vessels in the North East US and had made arrangements to travel to South Carolina to view another. So how does a person make such a big decision? [ 616 more words ]

So our last post spiked a huge round of questions. But the biggest is... Why are we selling our beloved Ocean Phoenix? So lets backtrack a little to this past summer. We were planning our first real significant sailing trip since our purchase in 2017 to Martha's Vineyard. We had been completing many upgrades so we could outfit her for longer cruising once we retire. [ 392 more words ]

Why are we selling Ocean Phoenix…she is an amazing vessel and we have had a great time on her, but now we are looking at a Catamaran.

Damn, that felt like a very short season... Ocean Phoenix is back on the hard for the winter. This winter we will redo the entire topside deck, sanding down to the original gel coat and then adding new anti-slip.

The season is over for us... next time we get to the boat she will be on the hard and we will be winterizing.

New instruments, new refridgeration, mast re-rigged, wiring, new sunshades, floors redone, dripless shaft, fuel tank sensor wire replaced, regular maintenance... There was a lot of days with a lot of work. At the boat show this year you will remember that we purchased new instruments and the refrigeration conversion kit for our ice box. The instruments were first, as the mast was down for service anyway. [ 579 more words ]

We have had a very busy spring season and we are behind on our posts, (we will fix that soon, I promise) Today we want to share our trip that we are planning. We have not yet taken Ocean Phoenix on any kind of sail outside of a couple hours here and there. At the end of July, we are sailing to Edgertown on Martha's Vineyard, and we are very excited!
