The Sailing Channel
Spencer12/01/2012, Annapolis, MD
The Sail Vicarious Series is now available to be downloaded from The Sailing Channel! The cost is half of the DVD cost in case you have been waiting for a great deal on over 8 hours of refitting, outfitting and long distance cruising!
SOLD!
Spencer10/05/2012, New Bern
Vicarious has sold! The new owners, Jim and Susan Trefethen plan to sail her to her new home in New Zealand! First a trip across the Atlantic and then to the Pacific via the Northwest Passage - awesome!
Price Drop
Spencer08/20/2012, New Bern
We have reduced the price of Vicarious drastically to $119,900. She is in sail away condition and very well equipped for long range cruising.
Dreaming of Cruising
Spencer02/07/2012, New Bern
One day we will cruise again. But for now, we are getting back to work and Vicarious is ready to cruise with her new owner!

Another idea.....crew on somebody else's yacht! Dockwalk has some interesting openings all around the world, and there are some nice Captain and Chef/Cook/Mate team positions.

It looks like the crew of Vicarious has set the hook for a while. For many complicated reasons... we are staying right here.

Me thinks you managed to scare the livin daylights out of her on some of those wild passages. Schedules over safety and comfort? As I read your blog over the months it seems like rushing was the constant. Never understood that.

Hey Steven,
Funny! I know it reads like I hated the life out there, but I am a very hard person to please when it comes to being comfortable! Yes we were rushing, but it was to get the film we needed AND to get back to Maine before hurricane season. We are both going to miss long distance cruising, but after being in our house again even Spencer fell in love. The plan was to sell it and the rental business, but we started thinking about our 60s and beyond and what we would want then which is a place to call home. In order for us to keep this dream house we will have to work to pay it off. There are several creative ideas in the hopper. I was startled by Spencer's idea to stay. I even tried to talk him out of it, but it just makes sense for the future. I just want to make sure people know that I LOVE the cruising life and yes, it seems like we rushed, but we spent weeks in places where we were happy. If we win the lottery we will be out there again!! This economy really took a big bite out of the dream, but we are making new dreams, adjusting what is important. Community and doing what we love to make money is now our focus. For Sale

Birthday Girl

Today Kathleen joins me at 43!

Although painful for a year in the long run cruising without problems and complaints from home will be much more enjoyable.

Happy Birthday Kathleen
Birthday Boy!
Kathleen10/16/2011, Neuse River, NC
We have had two wonderful days cruising from Norfolk to here where we are right now on the Neuse. Up at dawn, dry clear air, lots of wind on the beam, some silent sailing and two lovely anchorages not in the guidebooks, sunsets rife with the calls of birds, natural darkness and last night a huge blood red moon! This is what we do this for!

Happy Birthday Spencer Hope you have a great birthday
Everyday is an adventure!

So, changes are afoot again. Life is malleable like copper - able to be pounded into a bowl, run through a house for electricity, or woven around gemstones to create beautiful jewelry. We have been debating what shape our life will take over the next 12 months. We have an end result we are looking forward to and are planning for but there are steps we need to take in order to continue our beloved life on the water. We have made the hard decision to take over the day to day operations of our rental business in New Bern. We are paying people money we don't really have to take care of things that we can take care of more efficiently, cheaply and for example, without the stress of finding out that all the doors that were supposed to be replaced on our house were measured improperly!

We are cruising again! My happy place indeed. We raised the hook this morning and moved over to the fuel dock for 36 gallons of diesel and 170+ gallons of water. We were doing our first load of laundry as we were filling the tanks. There was a stream of power boats going by us as they were setting up for the power boat show.
