SPARRING WITH MOTHER NATURE’s latest addition. I’m very honored that you’re following along. Thank you from the bottom of my writer’s heart.
The voyages of a Classic Wooden Sailing Yacht can be transformational as well as educational. Since August 2024, STEADFAST has been undergoing extensive repair and refit. In boating terminology we are hauled out “on the hard” in Cambridge, Maryland, USA. What a great place to be aground! The archives contain extensive details on what we have undertaken.
My weekly posts intermingle sailing tales with the challenges, lessons, joys and intricacies of restoring 90-year-old STEADFAST.….please weigh in as we manage and learn from this unexpected joust. Thank you! ~J
Even the most experienced boater must acknowledge the risks that fog poses.
Into the Mist

Great advise and suggestions: We were caught early one Sunday in a thick fog on the Chesapeake back in 1989 and used a watch for time, boat speed, water depth, and our paper charts to record where we should be along with two crew members watching from bow on both Port and Starboard.
Made it back to Annapolis without a big hitch although in our approach to Bay Bridge, the large dark area in the fog was a bridge pier not an anchored container ship "whew"… Should have known that given the water depth "LOL"
