Since we did so much work prior to arrival, the jobs that needed doing over this past month were quite minimal in comparison. The latest upgrades include finishing off the galley with a beautiful set of Cutco knives (goodbye mismatched hand-me-down brother’s college apartment set!) and installed a wine and champagne glass rack to more…

After the whirlwind getting Moment off the dock and on our way to Provincetown, all we needed was the weather to cooperate. The ever-evolving plan was to sail from Deltaville, Virginia to maybe South Hampton then Block Island, Newport, and finally end in Provincetown right around Memorial Day weekend. Provisioning for trips like these is…

It was late April and the project deadlines and launch date of May 8th was approaching fast. Throughout the winter we had been collaborating with the yard in Deltaville, VA to tackle one of Moment’s largest projects ever, replacing the primary diesel tank, which ended up bringing in elements of carpentry, engine mechanics, refrigeration, plumbing,…

While the big ticket item was certainly the diesel tank escapade, we’ve taken advantage of Moment’s “work mode” to check off some other items this past winter so our upcoming summer sailing is as spectacular as ever. Here we go! In the Galley, we decided our oven and microwave were due for upgrade. While the…

Let’s back up … Our successful summer season in Provincetown was over and we were on a two day sail south to Virginia. High-five! We had made a weighty decision to haul out for winter mostly for the captain to take a breather from four years of an aggressive sailing and boat upgrade / maintenance…

The choice to sail an additional 1000 miles south for winter as we have done in the past or keep her in storage in Virginia was a challenge unto itself. Giving Moment and her captain a winter break to dry out and to be fully prepared for another fantastic Cape Cod summer prevailed as did…

After wrapping up a fantastic summer in Provincetown, it was time to make our migration down to Virginia to haul out in a bit more mild climate than the North East. The journey took us through Long Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean and into the Chesapeake Bay. We made stops in Newport, Port Jefferson,…

After the Carnival festivities wound down, we switched gears to prepare Moment for a week long sail through the Elizabeth Islands and beyond on August 23rd. On the first day, our guests Michael, Lisa, and Scott arrived in Provincetown to get settled in, see the town and provision Moment for our cruise. We shared a…

We’ve had a whirlwind month filled with a lot of blissful sailing. However, the more we are in motion, the likelihood for repairs, maintenance, system failure, and problems at sea are greatly increased. So what happened over the last month? Renaming, varnishing, installing, engine repairing, and rigging were all apart of last month’s work in…

Let’s start with a little history about Provincetown Carnival. The third week in August once ominously signaled “August-itis”, the pre-Labor Day doldrums when tourist-dollars began to slump precipitously. In 1978 the Provincetown Business Guild (comprised of local business owners) wanted to attract an untapped market—one which would keep local Ptown businesses afloat. Ptown’s local business…

One of our favorite types of sails is a wedding proposal. We are so honored that this is the platform that someone would choose to propose marriage to the love of their life. We like to make sure every detail is prepared and the wishes of the guests are met to the highest standard and…

Provincetown Bear week happens once a year after the Fourth of July week, where the gay community of Bears assemble to enjoy a schedule of activities each day to celebrate. We were fortunate enough to have some of the guys take time away from the events schedule to join us sailing. One awesome outing of…
