The steam yacht Quiet Presence is again available and for an advantageous price to the right potential owner. The plan to run her as a tourist boat in Bar Harbor did not work out, but that was not the fault of the boat. Interested parties should email us.

The Chebeaague Island School visited the "Live Anywhere" boat Barbara last fall as part of a unit on Island Life; the children were very interested in her construction and equipment and the design process that led up to her. For some photos click here.

We are taking Barbara south this winter to work on her interior in a little more comfort than is available in January on our mooring. For an account of the trip (to be updated as web access is available), click here (Jan 30), and here (Feb 16) and here (Apr 2)

I have started writing columns for Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors online magazine called "The View From my Mooring." Anyone interested can read them here .
