James on SV First Light
@svfirstlight.bsky.social
Sailing, nature, science, and adventure. This is First Light, my 32′ sailboat based in Philadelphia. Posting about life on the water as a Black sailor and business owner... svfirstlight.us
After nearly 30 years the ocean liner SS United States is on the way to Mobile Alabama to prepare for use as an artificial reef and diving destination in the Gulf of Mexico near Destin Florida.

We'll miss her in Philadelphia, but we're glad she's going to a good home

Introduction: Lifelong sailor among other things. The first time I took the helm I was five, standing on an upturned bucket on my grandfather’s cabin cruiser. First Light is my sailboat.
