2008 Voyage

Well, I'm off living the dream Carol and I shared for so many years. In reality, this voyage will almost retrace the track of the journy Carol and I made in 1997 to Florida so as with everything I've done over the last two years, it is more bitter than sweet. I even considered cancelling the trip but it's something Carol would want me to do and I could almost hear her scolding me for even entertaining the idea. So, enjoy the photos and feel free to call, email or send smoke signals to me while I'm away...See y'all in the spring. Sail on, Carol. Sail on!

Sailing Adventures

Sailing on our boats Ursaorion and Lastdance over the last 21 years has been an adventure. Actually, it's been a series of adventures as we explored, sailed, motored, ate and drank our way around New York and New England waters, then the Chesapeake and Florida.  Lastdance is now back on the Chesapeake and although things will never again be the same, there is still adventure ahead to experience and satisfy my wanderlust.

Friends & Shipmates

"....good friends we've had and good friends we've lost, along the way."  A great thing about sailing are the people you meet and friends you make along the way.  We've been blessed with many sailing and landlubber friends and even a few power boaters from here in America and from around the world.  They can be counted on to offer a cold beer, a thimble of rum and lifesaving help if your ship gets in harms way.  Check out our Friends & Shipmates photo album and if you don't see your own mug, I probably don't have one of y'all so drop me a line and I'll put you in it

Carol Lee

There were many facets to Carol...wife, mother, woman, shipmate, my best friend and always my lover. The one common denominator was her wonderful outlook on life, which can be seen by one and all, in her great smile in these photos which span almost 50 years of the life that I got to share with her. Even as a kid, she always made me want to be better...a better person and better at everything thing I did. Do not forget this woman!

Family

All the fun has not limited to friends and we've been fortunate to have shared the sail with our kids and relatives as well and will hopefully continue to do so until I'm too old to sail

Life Ashore

Although this web site is about sailing, Carol and I actually did many things ashore as well.  We had great fun, a lot of smiles and traveled to 11 countries in Europe and Asia so here is a peek at the some of the wonderful times we shared on terra firma over 2 decades. 

Sailing Without Carol

2008 marks the second summer I'll be sailing without Carol. There have been smiles to be sure but every hour sailing our little ship is a painful reminder of how much I miss her. Life goes on but she is in my thoughts constantly and sailing will never be the same for me. Sail on, Carol, sail on!

Our Boats

"There is nothing, absolutely nothing, half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats. In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all..."
