Check out the winners of our cruising life photo contest! The two winners each received a pair of Barz Optics polarized sunglasses.
The night before Sandy hit, I stood on Osprey‘s deck looking up at the nearly full moon. Its pallid light leaked into the sky as if it were being strained through cheesecloth. Scudding clouds—outliers of the coming storm—now and then threw the deck into an uneasy darkness. We’d been frantically preparing for two days. Now we waited, always the hardest part.
We’re excited, nervous, giddy, and grateful. We have an excellent vessel, a fantastic crew, and a heck of a ride ahead.
Join the National Women’s Sailing Association at the 12th annual conference, June 1, in Marblehead, Massachusetts. Meet and share with other women who love sailing and want to challenge themselves by trying something new.
