A Frosty Reception - Our Intrepid Captain’s Story: Part 2

Last week we shared with you the first part of the story of how Roland came to be the captain of our 136-foot sailboat, Abide. This week, you’ll discover the rest of the story.

We were about to start the refit and Roland was boarding Abide for the first time. He was greeted with a frosty reception from the old crew… but this only strengthened the resolve to make this work.

Abide hadn’t been maintained too well, and she needed some attention before she would be ready for chartering. In this episode, you’ll also discover the start of the refit journey.

Highlights from this episode:

  • The second part of Roland’s journey to becoming our captain.
  • The frosty reception Roland got when he went to pick up Abide!
  • The journey Roland and Abide took to Belfast, Maine where the refit began.
  • The weird and wonderful things we found stowed away on Abide, like 23 jars of mint jelly…

Cheryl stayed home with her four children for many years, where she found her engineering and actuarial science degrees to be surprisingly useful. Together with her husband they also ran a horse boarding barn for several years. As new empty nesters, they sold the farm, moved to Charleston, SC, and bought Abide, a 136' sailboat, with the goal of sailing to as many places around the world as possible.
