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!

Welcome aboard SV Freya, this is QP and Willard. Thank You very much for joining us on our adventures, and a special thanks to our patrons on Patreon.com/svfreya You all know how much QP loves to play dress up and model. Well, her new friend enjoys playing also. The girls packed a bunch of outfits to wear for a photo session on shore. They didn’t even make it off the dock before changing into their traditional Chinese clothes. They are not sure of which period these outfits were popular, but they are an ancient style, maybe Han or Tang. The black and white outfit is for practicing Kung Fu. QP liked this one best! It was difficult taking photos of both girls as they ran around dancing and play fighting. Being a new model, she was having a hard time doing a hair flip. Hopefully, we will have another chance in the water. The modeling continued after a wardrobe change into more modern dresses. QP is sorting those photos now and will post them maybe tomorrow.
