During the past few years, I have read several articles about “boomerang kids” who return to their parents’ house after college or a brief career and don’t seem to move out. After borrowing my Mom’s car for a week and doing several loads of laundry, I couldn’t help but wonder whether that moniker might apply to me. Don’t worry, we didn’t move in, just had bagels & lox and shared some good meals. It was great to show off Two Fish to the Long Island crowd. Since we were going […]

NYC Welcomes Two Fish
We stopped by our hometown NYC and decided to splurge on a few nights at North Cove Marina, located near the Freedom Tower (ex -World Trade Center). We had many visitors and it was a real treat to see our long-lost friends. We left as quickly as we arrived because the swell from the passing ferries is jarring on the boat and the dockage fee is jarring on the wallet. What a luxury it is to walk off the boat and have Manhattan food choices. No offense Long […]
A day sail turns into more
After three weeks of working on Two Fish, it was time for a sea trial to test our efforts. Sea trials are required before long passages whenever systems on the boat have received major maintenance. Engines, generators, running rigging, water maker, electrical, plumbing, sails and more have all been worked on by ourselves and pros. The boat has been a beehive of activity. The sky was grey as we headed out on our sea trial, searching for gremlins. We invited Mark and Bill, who have been graciously hosting us at […]
Why is Two Fish stopped in Fort Lauderdale?
WatchTwo Fish crew give Two Fish some tender loving care after a voyage of over 6,000 nautical miles. She looks pretty good but needed some new filters, oil and check-ups.
More photos, less chat
I am interested in the transition between the sea and the air. The color changes as you dive underwater. The textures are very different even in such close proximity. The boat’s underwater appendages look ominous underwater. Framing a shot while treading water is really a mater of luck. The camera becomes the boss and the photographer the passenger. Gail ended her swim early after seeing a crab with a big claw. Peace is easy to find at a Bahamian anchorage with little breeze. Shortly after arriving […]
Lord Electron
The crew of Two Fish believes that Edison’s harnessing of electricity was a step forward. In support of our belief, we have gone offshore with gobs of electrons stored inside our batteries. Let Lord Electron, me, give you a tour of the system. Batteries We store our collection of electrons in four 6 volt batteries housed in a dedicated locker near the mast. The batteries hold 780 amp hours. If you plugged in a load that drew 78 amp hours, after 5 hours your batteries would […]
Back Stage Tour of Two Fish
For our readers who want to peer behind the glitzy exterior of Two Fish and know what is going on behind the scenes: ICE MAKER: It seems over-the-top to have an ice maker on a sailing vessel, but, what the heck, we have one in the salon. Pros: Cold drinks can take the edge off a long day. On a great day, my solar power can feed the fridge, freezer and ice maker. As a catamaran you are hosting the party, so you might as well do it in style. […]
