It turns out, there’s more to a sailboat than a sail and a mast… After acquiring our 136-foot sailboat, Abide, we discovered something we weren’t expecting to find that sent us down a rabbit hole (and I’m not talking about the 23 jars of mint jelly…). We found a huge binder of records relating to the original design and purchase of the boat. We’re …

We cast off from the pier, motored away, and did not sail… but we bought the boat anyway. This is the story of how my husband (Bill) and I (Cheryl) - two non-sailors - came to own a 136-foot sailboat, with the crazy idea that we might sail around the world.
