Six years now Phillip and I have been sailing and sharing here at HaveWind, and—now, especially with our first Atlantic Circle complete!—we’re often asked where all we have traveled by sailboat.  Well, this should explain it!  A six-year HaveWind a...

Calling all boat project fanatics, this one’s for you! Boy, did we have a time trying to get our engine aligned. While Phillip and I knew we had some kind of issue going on with our prop shaft, the key that fits in the shaft (which was always coming out ...
