Our Story In a Nutshell

In 2003 , we began our labor of love and started to restore our CSY 44 sailboat,which we named Freedom. After 5 1/2 years of pure sweat, (Florida in July in a t-vac suit and full mask)some tears, endless reading and lots of leaps of faith, restoration was completed in January 2009. The rest of the story is unraveling as we learn to become the sailors we have always read about. Their inspiration has always lead us to new places...the real reson we started this adventure to begin with. We left from St. Petersburg, Florida in January 2009, sailed to Longboat key, then Useppa, St. James City, Cape Coral, Marathon, Rodriguez Key, Miami, then onto the Bahamas. In the Bahamas we sailed to Norman's Key, Shroud, Hawksbill, Warderick Wells, Black Point, Staniel Key, Spanish wells, Eleuthera, Little Harbor, Marsh harbor and then over to Beaufort North Carolina...up the ICW to Norfolk and finally we ended up in the Chesapeake Bay.

Time To Catch Up



We are staged in Jacksonville....due to a muscle spasm in my back and also a few important boat repairs...we went on a whirlwind drive to Naples to see our best bud Jennifer, onto St Pete for only one nite (sorry to all our good buds in St pete unfortunately time was way too short) to get a repaired stanchion and see Elise and then Bob and Kitty's new home and then onto Niceville to see our wonderful family....time flew by. Maybe that's why I have a muscle spasm....It was awesome to catch up...Unfortunately this boat has to be ready to move North as soon as we are ready...up to the Chesapeake. The attached pics are John and his brother and our nephews...miss them already. Did I mention that my sister-inlaw (the most talented stylist in the world) just bought her own salon, that just happens to be gorgeous...her and the salon...no pics.

We feel your pain with the boat repairs. We worked on/are working on the windlass, dinghy, and the alternator, to name a few. Are you guys summering in the Chesapeake?
