There are 3,000 islands off the coast of Maine, however, not all of them are suited for low tide landings. One that we love no matter what the tide, is in Merchant’s Row off of Stonington, Deer Ilse. It’s a small island, but with two beaches that allow for a leeward fire (in our fire […]

We are lucky, both of our hives survive this year and we have enough honey to take us into the sailing season with room to spare until we can harvest again. One hive has already been split with another split in mind for the second hive. Our tea tray will be stocked all summer long […]
Glen, a long time Riggin Relic and friend, is often the first to greet me in the morning and I am often the first to greet him, with his cup of steaming coffee in hand. His cup is poured before anyone else’s, one because he’s a guest and two because he’s down in the galley […]

Nothing better than walking out to the garden to pick dinner – in the form of asparagus – unless of course you pick it in the morning and then cook it in the 207 kitchen. Rob Caldwell, of WCSH6 and 207 fame, and I made pasta together and as we often do, laughed our way […]
Thank you. Thank you for the sun, the warm weather, the seeds that are sprouting and the really simple plastic covers that are making it all possible. Thank you for it all. It’s such a blessing to walk in the garden everyday and delight in new growth and green. The plastic is a new idea […]
This week the cover came off the schooner! Sunny, warm, and folks we are going sailing soon. Now it’s just a race to see what we can get done before we drop the paint brushes and sanders, the cleaning rags and brass polish and hoist the sails for the first time. This is a lovely […]
