I told you this is a huge process, remember? Not a day goes by that Tom and I don’t bombard poor Gregg (and the other contractors working on Serenity) with a million questions and requests (thank goodness for them the requests are not as numerous…

Commissioning Serenity…
As promised, I have some more photos of our girl for you. During our trip to see Serenity, many photos were taken – mainly to sustain us while we’re here and she’s there. Also, while work was in progress, the good people of KKY took picture…
Meeting Serenity for the First Time – OMG!
The day Tom and I had been counting down the days towards was finally here – January 14, 2011. The alarm went off at 4:15 am for our 7 am flight to West Palm Beach. We literally leaped out of bed and ran to our battle stations to get ready …

And the Beat (Engine) Goes On………..
Another glorious day in paradise! We left Greenport to head across the Sound to Old Saybrook for the next couple of days. Doesn’t this sound incredible? Unlike a land-based home with its annoying necessities, a trawler is a home with …
Ahoy Matey, Is It Land That I See?
So a new week aboard begins as we make our way for Greenport. As I mentioned in the previous post, Mitchell Park Marina, a town-owned marina in the heart of this quaint east end village, was the setting for our first sighting of a trawler. …
The Big Trip
By the end of July, the captain and I had logged many hours aboard For Us, both on the water and at the dock (lots of hours at the dock). We both agreed it was time to cast off the lines for parts unknown (well, not really unknown, just unknown f…
