James on SV First Light

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
I’m also on YouTube and Facebook if you want to check those out, but Bluesky feels like a good place for real conversations. When you think of sailing, what do you picture?

I'm sharing these experiences to highlight the presence of Black sailors and maritime professionals. Social media often portrays boating, both recreational and commercial, as predominantly white, but Black sailors have a rich and entrenched history on the waterways that deserves more visibility.
