A striking black and white photo of numerous sailing boats moored in a busy harbour. The water is slightly choppy, and the sky is dramatic with large, bright white clouds contrasted against darker grey tones. A cityscape is visible in the distance along the horizon.

A photograph of several sailboats moored in a harbour on a sunny day. A row of buildings and trees lines the far bank of the water. In the foreground, large, lichen-covered rocks jut out from the water, with several cormorants perched on top, one of which has its wings spread wide to dry them.

Let’s be honest. Starting a blog feels a bit like standing at the end of a dock shouting into the fog, hoping someone hears you. But if you’re into sailing, dogs, coastal adventures, and the occasional dose of chaos, then you’ve found the right place! #sailing #sailinglife #sailingadventures

I Bought a Boat and Didn’t Completely Lose My Mind

Buying a boat is supposed to be exciting. What the boat hunt actually was? A mildly unhinged combination of detective work and disappointment.

Sailing into Dusk, Drifting into Thought
A silent sailboat in the Adriatic dusk, waiting for the night to whisper old stories. Calm water, a sky in motion — peace before the sleep of the sea.

Bright sails, calm waters, and a perfect day for learning to sail at the Berkeley Marina. #California #Berkeley #SailingLife #BerkeleyMarina

A row of small sailboats with bright neon yellow-green sails is docked at a pier, where people in life jackets gather for what appears to be a sailing class. The pier extends into calm blue water, with a hilly, tree-covered shoreline and scattered buildings in the background under a partly cloudy sky. Large rocks and green plants frame the foreground.
