Imagine a long weekend - 4 days of sailing, guided summit hikes, food experiences, deep fjords and delicious dramatic mountains covered in powder snow. This is what Explore 62 North can offer you and your friends. The sailboat Westland is the basecamp for four days packed with experiences for us who are going on a trip. Here we live and sleep. In the morning the crashing of waves, the sound of seabirds and the smell of freshly brewed coffee awakens us.

The Minch is an extremely unpredictable sea area off the Western coast of Scotland, known for its rapidly changing weather and choppy waters. This fascinating stretch of ocean is not only a test of seamanship but also a breathtaking experience for those who dare to navigate its depths. However, the lure of seeing the stunning Outer Hebrides, with their pristine beaches and rugged landscapes, was strong enough to motivate us to take the risk. So, we set sail across this fickle piece of water, filled with both excitement and a hint of apprehension, hoping for the best and ready to embrace whatever challenges this majestic sea might throw our way. With the wind in our sails and the horizon calling, we embarked on this unforgettable journey, eager to explore the beauty that awaited us on the other side.

Toni and I will be at the 2025 Annapolis Fall Sailboat Show on Thursday and Friday, October 9-10. If you see us, say Hi. 2025 has been a year of change for our Seawind 1260, “Moments in Time”. After sailing her as delivered for a season, we had a list of improvements that we wanted to get check off the list. This is one of the last ones. We originally swore we would never close in the cockpit as that was one of our favorite features. We spend more time relaxing in the cockpit than our saloon. But certain beautiful anchorages along Chesapeake’s eastern shore are forbidden certain times of the year due to vicious swarms of bugs. Screening in the cockpit now opens these anchorages back up. The visibility looking out from the cockpit is excellent so we can still enjoy our views but the visibility from the outside looking in is muted, providing some privacy. We can the screens up while sailing, or remove them for storage. We also had blackouts made for the saloon windows in the same pattern as the “Screens Saloon Shade Clip On” 1260 option which only blocked 40 percent of the sunshine. 40 percent is not enough when at a marina or trying to run the air conditioner on hot sunny days. The saloon glass can get so hot you can barely touch it and would radiate the heat. These new shades block 95 percent of the heat, allows light in, provides privacy, and the beige color really knocks down the inside temperatures. Downside is that they must be removed while underway. And since they had the sewing machine and material out, we had some winch covers made as well. Another checkmark closer to releasing the lines. Subscribe and share in the adventure!
