How does one ever manage to capture in words and a few select photos the kaleidoscope of experiences and moments that fill just a few short days? It seems like I could write a book on all that we have done in just 9 days. It is a beautiful morning and Oh! is motor sailing […]

Far from the maddening crowds yet just next door, maybe that is a good description of Friars Bay. I have always found it interesting how boaters seem to prefer crowded anchorages than being on their own. Somehow there must be a comfort in being where there are others.

Today was one of those latter sensations. I awoke to the tingling of tiny rain drops […]

For anyone watching Oh! for the past few years, 2019 was a big year. Another Trans-Atlantic crossing and I had the pleasure of cruising with so many amazing guests that joined Oh!.

Unfortunately, due to the recent hurricane losses over the past years, my insurance providers would not insure for named storms south of Cape Hatteras until after November […]

It has been a busy summer and fall for Oh!. She has undergone a lot of upgrades and regular maintenance. Oh! was hauled at Annapolis from June through Mid October where all the below waterline projects were completed. These included: Replacing all 4 bronze seacocks and through hull fittings Replacing the bearings on both rudders […]

We are making some changes and adding more content to our website, but it will take some time – Oh!…and a few visits to the clouds for a change of scenery. I hope you will enjoy the additions and changes.
