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 […]
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 […]
From now until May 24th, we pick up speed until that day comes when we need to put our tools down and raise the sails for our first of many summer days out on Penobscot Bay sailing our Maine Windjammer. Ian, our senior crew member this year, started right in on Monday sanding and painting […]

To those guests who have recently left us and will no longer sail with us and laugh with us in their physical form, we will miss you. Now you will always have a berth on the Riggin, can always sit back on the cap rail and watch the day go by or stand up on […]

My sewing machine whirred away for a while this Christmas season in an attempt to give small, meaningful gifts from the heart rather than the pocket book. These coasters were one such gift and I’ll be posting about others over the next few months. For those who have sailed on the Riggin already, the striped […]
Ahh, the sounds, sights and smells of spring – Maine windjammer style. The constant drone of a sander, the bustle of crew trekking into the house on a cloud of sanding dust and the pungent odor of paint thinner wafting through the air. Blowing paint dust buggers, chapped and hardened hands, Carharts so dotted with […]

My first pair of socks – that are actually both the same size – knit this summer on the Riggin in between stirring stew and rolling pie dough. The bamboo yarn is yummy on my toesies and was really easy to work with. My only question is should I have used thread to reinforce the […]

Cranberry-Almond Biscotti A passenger of ours, Lauren Hubbell, gave this recipe to me. To dress them up a bit, dip one end of the biscotti into melted semi-sweet chocolate and place on waxed paper to cool. Biscotti are crunchy and store well. They’re excellent for dipping into coffee, hot cocoa, or whatever you’d like. 2 […]
