Frances

I’m tired in the good kind of way as I write this. We will get underway and head for Portland Monday.

When we get to these moments when we feel as though we have arrived I find I mostly look back upon the journey. This is where to find the heart. In seeing this boat come into it’s beautiful form today, it was with profound humility I realize I am only here now because of everyone who has been helpful, loyal, kind, who has helped me in the keeping of this boat and who has come before.

I do this part of my year with my whole heart. The spring. Sam and Luke, we have done good work and I look forward to sailing her with you this summer. 18 years on my own with her. My adult life. Raised by a metal ship, I think if I had had the words I would not have had the language < 3

You can walk down to our waterfront, along the fish piers with the seagulls and the wharf cats, and a bit further to where the ferry boats tie up. You’ll find us here.

Frances sails five days a week, welcoming picnics, celebrations, and restful time on the water. Afternoons and evenings. Charter for larger parties or private occasions. All inquiry welcome.

Season’s open June 9.
