We started blogging in 2007 to document a year-long family sailing adventure. Upon returning to our home base in Portland, Oregon, in 2008, our adventures and blogging continued. Sri Lanka and Malta took center stage in 2018-2020. We were bicoastal (OR/PA) in 2020-2022, then back together in the Pacific NW until 2025, when MN was added to our location list.

Halloween Regatta
Drew had some nice wind for Halloween-themed team racing on Sunday. Sailing in costume is a bit challenging so most of the kids had ditched their costumes by the time these photos were taken. Drew's group dressed-up as skiers to race against sharks, ballerinas, a taco and more.
Jake & Pat spent Sunday evening working on jack-o-lanterns... their (first) masterpiece is below.

Apple Pressing Party
Another beautiful Fall day... perfect for helping our friends Elizabeth, Mike, Teddy, Joe & Zanna press 1,600 lbs of apples into cider. Click here for photos. Not sure which Jake enjoyed more... the cider-making, donut-eating or apple-bobbing.
