Cruisers Ingrid and Robert Schnabl share their Iceland sailing adventure, from rugged fjords to puffins and whales.

Cruisers Ingrid and Robert Schnabl share their Iceland sailing adventure, from rugged fjords to puffins and whales.

But the good news is that experts do not anticipate the historic level of storm activity seen in 2020.

A delivery crew brings the fun — and the musical instruments — on an ocean adventure.

A pair of veteran monohull voyagers put a new Bluewater 50 catamaran through its paces on an ocean crossing.

Aboard the sailboat Hope, a skipper and crew sail in the wake of the Vikings.

When a voyage from Maine to Bermuda is sidetracked due to weather, the crew of an expedition yacht opts for Plan B and a cruise down the New England coast.

I’ve heard people talk about champagne sailing, and for the short dash from the canal to Woods Hole, I got to experience it.

St. Helena remains a place where, when any of the 4,000 residents see an unfamiliar face, they know you have arrived by sea and they are charming and friendly.

The easternmost of the Canary Islands, is a fascinating and practical stopover for anyone planning an Atlantic crossing.

A new rigging plan designed for simplicity could be the solution to the large mainsails of modern catamarans.

With nearly 50 Atlantic series catamarans roaming the seas, Chris White’s designs have evolved. Still, the new 47 — sporting twin MastFoils (think narrow wings) and dual furling jibs — is akin to the jump man made from apes. Let’s call this a whole new species of ocean-going cat.

We were letting the peace and calm of the wind and seas seep into our mind and body. It’s the Zen approach to being becalmed.
