A word about blog writing; I love writing, and I certainly don’t do enough of it. Sadly the majority of my writing is mundane emails or rather pejorative musings about social media, which ultimately is fun for no one I’m afraid. So today I turn that around and welcome you to Tuesday Tides! as I break writing silence to loop in our many supporters and followers as to the goings on of Sail Vermont! In all honesty my favorite thing to write is abstract poetry, if you’re dying to know what that’s about, here is a lob from a 2004 trip to Cape of Good Hope to ease you into that genre. While we may someday get to more of that here, for now I’ll…
just stick to boats.
The last time I was inspired to write about boat’y stuff was on my blog in 2009 as part of my transatlantic as captain. It’s archaic architecture remains on the interwebs and can be perused here. The boat was a 2003 CNB 64 called One Two Many (pictured left or above device dependent) and I spent almost 5 years as her captain and caretaker. More stories from those days sure to leak into this forum over time, so here I’ll just stay on topic.
things are different
Now I am the owner and the dreamer (and one of the many workers) of this little organization called Sail Vermont. I am fortunate to be surrounded by an amazing group of passionate people. They are known to show up early, leave late, participate in the crap jobs and never ask for anything but sailing… they make this whole thing possible (wanna join?). So… what is ‘this whole thing’?
Sail Vermont began in 2019 when I brought our first Swan 43; Red, here from Newburyport Mass. What started as a hobby/passion project has grown into a business of two Swan 43 sail yachts, a floating luxury waterfront platform (Party of Four - coming summer 2023), and a goal of being 100% zero emissions by 2024 (shhh top secret; also bringing an electric power yacht to the docks in 2024!).
easy for you to say
I do say all of that in a rather matter of fact way, but truth be told, there are about a million hours of relentless work going on behind the scenes to make any one of those pieces happen. Tuesday Tides will be the place for you to keep up with where we came from, where we are going and how we are doing it… as well as the musings of a wannabe author and sometimes poet.
Tuesday Tides will post ever other Tuesday in hopes to keep you all better updated, so please comment and share!! Here is a…
