  • The Hobo Sailor Times

    “Remember when I sailed through New York harbor?!” I say to my sister-in-law. I’ve just arrived at her and my brother’s house in my home state. “That was fucking crazy.”  “Of course I remember,” she says. “I never thought about it as a wild body of water.

  • Women Who Sail

    You’re ugly. You sleep around. Stop being a victim. These are just some of the messages and remarks I get on a near constant basis. And I wish I could say it was just from internet trolls. It’s not.  From the once generous benefactor who decided he was going to Click here for full post: […] More

  • You Can Lead a Horse to Water

    I feel like a giant piece of shit that hasn’t actually done anything of any merit. I have no idea why famous ocean sailors like Sam Holmes, Sean D’epagnier, Charlie Doane, and now Matt Rutherford fuck with me at all. I am not even in the same class as them.  Click here for full post: […] More

  • Sailing to a Sauna

    The first time I ever went to a sauna was in the mountains above the Napa Valley in California. With pools fed by higher elevation hot springs there was a steam room, and sauna. This broke the image in my mind of a sauna full of old white men at Click here for full post: […] More

  • Million Dollar View

    ‘Sail it ‘til it sinks.”  Said Tom the brewer with the beautiful wooden boat from 1937. I’m more like sail it to the islands and abandon or sell it for really cheap somewhere else. He shrugs his shoulders and takes a sip of his beer before he walks away. He Click here for full post: […] More

  • Sailing while Depressed

    My boat was in shambles. I was behind in the seasons. My boyfriend and I had just broken up for the final time. I had no friends nearby. It was a global pandemic. I begged my ex to help me sail 100 miles north on the sound so I wouldn’t Click here for full post: […] More
