Our first night on Ocean Phoenix on the water.  We had just gotten her into the water and there is no better feeling then your boat gently swaying in the water.  Best sleep ever.

My amazing and loving family. We all enjoy the boat and each others company. And sometimes we just like to kick back, relax, and have fun together!

This is her first trip to the water in 4 years.  She had been on the hard for that time and once we gave her a new name, painted her bottom and ensured all was safe…in she went!

James at the helm, this is the first time on Ocean Phoenix and without assistance.  Being on our vessel has been amazing in every way.  The total sense of joy, relaxation and peace that we get from being onboard is priceless.

First time at the helm. I was so excited to share this experience with James.  As we are learning and exploring what Ocean Phoenix can do and what she can handle, it’s great to learn all the roles on a sailboat.

This is the day that she became Ocean Phoenix.  It took a lot of research and soul searching to find a name that means something and that is fitting for her.

64 feet up in the air…LOVED IT.  When you have your partner on deck and you trust him 100%, going up the mast is a great time, with a great view. Thanks James

Best KID ever.  We are very proud of him.  He loves the boat and caught the most fish! This pic made the list as he looks so relaxed and at home.

Thanks to my very talented husband, we have great cutting boards and covers.  They worked great all season.

A full day cleaning all the lines.  Surprised that this would make our list? When we are not on the boat we still enjoy the chores and prep work that goes along with owning a sailboat
