Hello Paul, I am Peter Burgess out here on the tip of Cape Cod. I bought a 2004 22' cruiser named "Wanderer", which was something like a legend here - used from Maine to Florida to Alaska. It is now "Kittiwake". Like you, I have taken care to upgrade it. This included a replacement for the...

Hello Pat, I don't think I'll ever get to do the Inside Passage. But I often like to think of where the boat has been, the people who sailed in it, and the people who shared in those journeys - when I'm sitting outside sipping ethanol waiting for sleep. I once was a theology student (until...

Hello Spun Copper. No - "Kittiwake" was a name that took some thought. My previous Dory was a 16' cruiser. I named it "Otter" and that name fit the boat perfectly. I knew that the '22 I bought was aptly named. As I was having it surveyed, and it came time to check out the chart plotter, I...
