Just featured in Boulder Magazine by this Gulf of Naples journey is one to experience. Sailing intertwines nature, the sea, Mediterranean bounty, and the rhythms of island life. We surrender to wind and waves, drifting between ports, swimming in crystalline waters, foraging for island delicacies, and dining under the stars.

As Sara writes: “Peggy’s relationship to Italy and its bounty runs deep. She knows each island like the back of her hand… Her invitation to awaken our senses, to taste the earth and sea in its myriad expressions, was a gift unto itself.”

Ashley Wick leads us through the inner landscapes of transition, offering space to reflect, expand, and listen—to ourselves, each other, and the sea.

The morning mist clings to the hills as you arrive, the soft bleating of sheep a gentle welcome. A wooden table is set beneath an olive tree, laden with fresh ricotta so delicate it nearly dissolves on your tongue. The shepherd grins, offering honey from his own hives—sweet, floral, golden.
A rustic knife slices through rounds of pecorino, its sharpness balanced by the sweetness of figs picked moments ago. You sip espresso, strong and unyielding, as the countryside stirs to life. This, you think, is what mornings were meant to be.

Palermo hums with life, an intoxicating blend of past and present. You stroll through Ballarò market, the air thick with the scent of sizzling arancini and salty capers. Vendors call out their daily offerings, their voices rising and falling in a rhythmic cadence. Somewhere, a mandolin strums. A glass of wine lands in your hand. Palermo doesn’t ask for your attention—it demands it.

In the ancient fishing village of Barbara, near Vejer de la Frontera, the coastal breeze carries the scent of salt and adventure. The market is alive with the morning catch, and you watch as the locals barter over glistening bluefin tuna—the prized treasure of the Almadraba tradition, a method of fishing handed down since the Phoenicians. Your hands learn the delicate art of slicing, seasoning, and searing under the watchful eye of a local chef. Later, you sit down to a feast of your own making, savoring not just the flavors but the stories and traditions that bring them to life.

The morning sun spills over the olive groves and fields of sunflowers, painting the landscape in hues of gold and green. At Alfonso’s finca, the scent of leather lingers in the air as you swing into the saddle of a beautifully schooled Andalusian horse. The ride unfolds like a dream—sandy trails winding through wheat fields and towering cork oaks, the rhythmic beat of hooves beneath you. Ahead, the whitewashed silhouettes of the pueblos blancos cling to the hills like a secret waiting to be discovered.

I love curating a program with all of the elements that are important to me. The aesthetic is my base ingredient and then I build from there. I choose locations that have iconic food and wine value as well as connection and relationship. I then explore the areas nuance and splendor. This is not hard on the island of Salina, nor on Mount Etna.

We come to Eilean Shona every September to nature-bathe in mossy forests, on trails that lead to somewhere; a picnic bothy, a beach or a summit to view the outlying islands of the outer Hebrides. Our days in Scotland are active, with an in breath and an out breath of activities, such as walking to fill our lungs with fresh vibrant air as we move from place to place, oxygenating our bodies with beauty and stillness.

We dip.
We cook.
We write.
We take the path of least resistance.
