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.

The baby of the Horizons but with 45% ballast ratio they are very capable - be sure to view the Round the Island video too!

🌊 Timing the Mona Passage WRONG can turn ugly FAST… Sput & Suzy from SV Validated and @damagecontrol_sailing joined me on the Salty Podcast to talk about getting slowed down to ONE knot in rough conditions while trying to make their way south through the Caribbean aboard their Island Packet 44. This was a great conversation about offshore sailing, weather windows, boat prep, and life on the thorny path. 🎥 Watch the full pod: https://saltyabandon.com/saltypodcast96 👕 Salty Podcast SPF Sailor Shirts: https://saltypodcast.myshopify.com 🧼 Airlock 10% OFF with code SALTY: https://saltyabandon.com/airlock10salty
