After spending a couple months in Minneapolis, we returned to Tilia to get ready to head north for the summer…

Anne returned to meet Jim in Charleston. We enjoyed the city for a few days while waiting for a weather window to sail north. We were rewarded with a great 30-hour sail north to Cape Lookout…

Two friends joined Jim in the Bahamas to help sail Tilia back to the US. We had an amazing trip with good sailing and a remarkable dolphin encounter…

This has been our first week of proper cruising as couple this season! We had a great week exploring some of the quirks and corners of the Abacos together…
