In October of 2007 after our youngest had left for her sophomore year of college, my husband told me he was getting a boat. Not just any boat, a 29 ft, single engine Cabin Cruiser, its official classification is Motor Yacht. We are going to call her (all boats are female) Far Niente, he stated. Far Niente means “doing nothing” or “idleness” in Italian, he further explained. And so began our journey in boating.Empty Nest BoatersThat first winter, we kept the Far Niente in a marina on the north sh

Captk and I have bare-boated in the British Virgin Islands 11 times. We have also bare-boated in the Bahamas’s twice, and explored Croatia and Greece on a small yacht with a Captain. Each time we cruise our itinerary is slightly different. CaptK suggested I create a post that describes a real week in the BVI, showing how weather and personal preferences impact an itinerary. Even after 11 bare-boating adventures in the BVI, there are things that we have not done and places we have not explored.

Visiting the British Virgin Islands, one can easily be enchanted by the cerulean waves, swaying palms, and the gentle caress of the Caribbean sun. With its pristine surroundings and a rich history dating back centuries, Callwood Rum Distillery offers an unparalleled experience for rum enthusiasts and curious travelers alike. On our recent visit, we found the history and setting fascinating.

On the southwestern tip of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands is a geological wonder known as the Baths. Granite boulders, some as large as 40ft in diameter, form tidal pools, tunnels, arches and scenic grottos at the ocean's edge. Golden beaches frame these standing stones. These massive rocks were formed by thousands of years of erosion of softer lava rock encasing them and shaped by the rain and waves. They are protected as a British Virgin Islands National Park. Exploration of this

We first visited the British Virgin Islands in 2010, aboard a Windstar Cruise. It was love at first sight. We have returned to the BVI 12 times in the past decade. The natural beauty, relaxed atmosphere, and abundant sea life calls us back to the BVI repeatedly.

One of the biggest attractions in the British Virgin Islands is the sea life. The waters surrounding these minimally developed islands are teeming with colorful fish and striking coral formations. Two of the most popular snorkeling spots are the Caves and the Indians. The coral formations at the Indians are spectacular with beautiful blue fan coral, golden brain coral, and patches of red fire coral. The Caves are interesting because of the formations into the rock cliffs. They form small cavern

The British Virgin Islands has the BEST beach bars! Rum concoctions or a cold local brew, a sandy beach, a lounge chair under a palm tree, what could be better. But what if you wanted something more complex than the standard Pain Killer or Rum Punch, where would you go? Is it even available? I have five places that offer amazing cocktails. I am talking fresh squeezed juices, premium alcohol selections, beautiful presentations and a skilled mixologist behind the recipes. Two of them welcome bare

What to expect when making the crossing from Palm Cay, New Providence to Norman Cay, • It is a long cruising day. The seas were running 2 to 4 feet with a 14 knot head wind.

Boating Knots. The selection of Boating Knots is based on many years of sailing combined with feedback and advice from several helpful captains around the world.

If you enjoy the lake, Holland is the place to be! Head out onto Lake Macatawa or Lake Michigan for sailing, touring or watersports of all kinds.

Surfing the waves at 30 knots! Asking why nautical speed measurements are done in knots is effectively asking why nautical miles are used instead of simply miles or kilometers. And that reason is because of navigation. Ships use the latitude and longitude system of global navigation. One nautical mile is 1 minute of arc on any meridian. And for goodness sake, hold on tight!!!

We've constructed Minijet boats that meet our clients’ individual needs. New boat designs capable of going places where no one has ever been before.
