If you have come upon this page looking to read about a race horse, this isn’t it! Sea Biscuit is a sailing vessel, inspired by Biscuit, our 14-year-old Golden Retriever, and our dream of sailing. This blog will let our family and friends know what we are up to...

“It’s 3 am, I must be lonely” goes the Matchbox 20 song, but I’m not lonely. Tania’s in a cabin sleeping and I’m on watch. I think there is something neat about being on a boat in the Atlantic and looking across moonlit water, especially with a full moon...

Biscayne Bay stretches along and south of Miami for hours of sailing distance. The clarity of water with white sand makes it look like a paradise. We planned a short trip for the first day out of Miami. That helped us get into the mood of being alone with...

How do you get an adult son who is super busy with work, lives on the West coast, and barely has any time off work, to come and visit us in Florida? In the last couple of years, with Covid-19, and his work demands, we have not had a...

Sea Biscuit dropped her anchor in the Halifax River just outside our condo December 14th. We thought we would take two or three weeks off the boat around Christmas. Two or three weeks turned into nearly three months! During that time, we completed some routine maintenance, like oil changes,...

Old Friends Georgetown SC: My friend and old Marine buddy, Tom, is flying in from Indianapolis to help us continue moving south with Sea Biscuit. It can be challenging moving along with a boat and a car. We have learned to be creative as well as flexible. Before Tom’s...

I can break up the past two month into three sections: Us moving the boat from Ft. Lauderdale to Daytona Beach; Continuing North up to Charleston, SC after a break; Brian and Nate sailing to Hampton, VA while Biscuit and I came to Daytona Beach to assess the doggo’s...

What happened to June? Too much happened in June, I don’t remember being so busy… ever. Falling asleep has never been easier. We left Fort Lauderdale Tuesday, June 29th, sailed about 40 miles up the coast to the Palm Beach area. We both felt lousy from seasickness, which surprised...

Today we received some training. We hired Captain Otto to provide us some training on our boat. While it was too rough to go offshore sailing, we practiced docking Sea Biscuit multiple times. It was money well spent even without the sailing part of training. Otto introduced me to...

Saturday, May 29th 2021, the first day on our boat. I’m not sure how many boats we have been aboard during the last 10-12 years, thinking or dreaming about having a sailboat. But this Memorial Day weekend, we are on our own boat! No, we’re not sailing with dolphins...
