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

Marsh Cleanup
Saturday, March 22, 2025This is a rain or shine event so watch the forecast and dress accordingly for a day out on the water. Removing debris from tidal marshes supports wildlife habitat improvement. Plastics, treated wood, tires, and a variety of foams and trash float into the tidal marsh and end up hidden from view well beyond the waterline. Volunteers are needed to help remove this debris and return the area to its natural pristine state.
Meet at the Remley Point boat ramp at 7 am to get signed in and ready to load boats. Expect to get wet and muddy while making a big impact on water quality in Charleston Harbor! It is best to wear old sneakers instead of mud boots or rain boots. Snacks and beverages are provided at the end, as well as a free raffle event.
Prizes will be awarded for the most interesting/unique item found…so hold onto these “gems” until the end and maybe win a prize.
Participants under 18 must be accompanied by an adult.
