Fourth Season in Newport

Hard to believe this is Devante's Dream's fourth season in Newport. We have enjoyed every moment of it, especially since she has been in the incredible care of Brian Blank with Bareboat Sailing Charters. Connect with Brian to book a great bareboat sailing experience.

I've been a little lax (understatement) with the blog the last few years. Here's a quick recap:

2011 

Eric Sr. is fully recovered from moving Devante's Dream back from Bermuda. Eric's mother and daughter were onboard for the 4th of July. We had a great front row seat for the fireworks from our mooring in Brenton Cove. 

2012 

The America's Cup. For sailors you don't need to say much more. It was an incredible experience watching the races from onboard Devante's Dream literally a few feet from the ridiculously fast 40 catamarans. We also had our long time good friends Jack and Joyce Clark onboard for a great trip to Martha's Vineyard as well as my brother Scott and his dad Joe. 

2013 

For most of 2013 Eric and Jane were in Salem MA sailing locally with friends. Eric and Jane got onboard for a couple of weeks in September. First sail completely around Conanicut Island (Jamestown). A few days of bumpy weather brought us into the dock at Newport Yaching Center, very cool but pricey! My brother Scott and his Dad, Joe, visited again.

September is a great time of year to be in Newport, cool weather, nice breezes, the first hints of foliage...it was hard to leave to go back to Atlanta GA.

Now

But...now we don't need to leave anymore. Eric and Jane moved to Newport in April of 2014.

We have already been busy getting Devante's Dream ready for her 4th season in Newport. Jane varnished all the brightwork (it needs it and now looks awesome) and Eric disassembled, cleaned and greased all of the winches. Other than that just a good cleaning and she is ready to go!

See you out there!
