From the Tradewinds last year- they tell it much better than I would. Just makes you love her tenacity!

What an amazing story! What a dream to own and sail that boat as a business.

Of course, being a Coast Guard qualified captain would help. Our sailing experience does not go past sailing a 25 foot single hull in St. Andrew Bay here at home.

But we can dream!

Hey- you're closer than I am! Just some lessons and certifications up to bareboat on J 22's-- ahhh, the life

Capt. Dan & Ruby: That's the catamaran we were on when we were waving to you at Lovango!! It was a great day...Loved that we went to Jost but skipped Foxxy's. Also set anchor at Sandy Cay and enjoyed the beach for about 1/2 hr. Different itinerary than our past day sails. Great for repeaters to Jost.
Highly recommend.

I guess by now everyone has answered Kekoa.

If you have the opportunity definitely sail out on this one. We did on our last trip and it was the best sail we've had out of St John.

Here are some pics from our last sail posted on my blog.
