Amazingly busy year so far. Looking forward to slowing down for a few days over the coming weeks and spending some quietly time with family back home in Ireland. Before that, here are just a few of the highlights from the past six months... From Düsseldorf to the Miami Boat Show, listing Tupelo Honey, then to Annapolis for the Spring Sailboat Show, giving tours aboard Fountaine Pajots I'd sold, survey days including No Brainer and Sirena, bringing Amajen to market, attending SailGP in New York with Fountaine Pajot, a Leopard 45 showing in Charleston, and finally La Rochelle for Open Days, where I had the chance to step aboard hull #1 of the new FP48 and hull #1 of the new FP55. Plenty more happened between these moments, but these are a few that stood out. Here's to the second half of the year.
After an ice storm and a late-night show, we return to our sailboat to see what winter left behind. Frozen lines, rigging checks, and a full winter boat inspection to make sure everything survived. After the storm, we bring in provisions for the weekend, wake up to quiet marina mornings, make coffee and a warm omelet bowl with music playing in the background, and take care of a failing electrical outlet onboard. This is real winter sailboat life—maintenance, problem-solving, and slowing down together. If you’re into sailing vlogs, liveaboard life, or learning what winter boating is really like, this episode is for you. ⚓ Subscribe for honest sailing life, boat maintenance, and cozy moments from the galley.
