Position Report: July 28, 2018

Position: 34º 48.942′ N 65º 27.81′ W Yesterday we eased into our groove. Easy sailing to weather, <1m seas, sunshine and good food was the order of the day. The night was partly cloudy and afforded us a pretty good view of the universe. Today has been wing on wing, dead down wind, with slight […]

Position: 12º 0.024′ N 61º 45.732′ W Eva has reached our destination. Prickly Bay, Grenada will be our base of operations for the summer. We found a great spot to anchor, right up close to the beach. We haven’t seen this many sailboats since leaving Martinique over a year ago. All is well

Portland to Grenada

Some might say that it is the very definition of madness to winter over in Maine and leave for the tropics as summer begins to burst onto the scene. Those people would be absolutely correct. Nevertheless, that is just what we have done. The trip from Portland to Grenada took us within shouting distance of […]

Position Report: May 01, 2018

Position: 43º 39.798′ N 70º 14.52′ W Convivia is once again dangling at the end of her chain. We are anchored out in front of the former PYS mooring field. In a few days (weeks?) We will move her to the hard and join forces with the mighty s/v Eva for another epic adventure. Stay […]
