A portrait of my new best friend. She is a Norwegian Forest Cat that I have adopted. I cannot wait to hang out with her. Her name is Meri.

A traditional sailor must have a good understanding of spherical astronomy and trigonometry in order to navigate the oceans without the modern gadgetry.

Yes, we live by the light of a flame, we are warmed by the same.

I love the sounds of the sailboat; wood creaking, bronze chiming, the whistle of the wind, the splashing of the sea against the hull. It is so peaceful.

Currently redesigning my rigging. Making blocks, and all sorts to transition from stainless steel standing rigging to hemp.

Chores are never complete aboard a sailing vessel! Installed new #lifepo4 battery from #LynacLithium in #sv_Lilith. This replaces the lead acid batteries.

I hand sew a lot of my own clothes. This weekend I am challenging myself to sew a pair of fall front pants by Monday!! Updates to follow. I am using #folkwear pattern 229. #handsewing #diy #sewing

Living on a wooden sailboat means there is always work to be done. While the weather is nice, it is time to varnish. The key to good varnish is to do it before it looks like it needs to be done. #sailorslifeforme #beforethemast

#lavender from the local community #garden. I dried it aboard the boat and once dry beat against the deck to release the buds.
