In our search to find the ‘right’ cruising sailboat, we created these business cards to help connect us with any and all potential matches. Vistaprint is a great resource to use to make free cards like these (+ $6 shipping). We handed them out to anyone who would take them … to everyone we knew, along the marinas we’d visit, posted them on marina bulletin boards & restrooms, etc. They led to a few calls & were great for new contacts, but ultimately we found our beloved Kaleo through Carolyn at HSH Yachts in Seabrook. We highly recommend working with her in a search!

An outstanding 1st place finish in the Gold Rush Regatta with our sailing mentors and friends, Tim and Diann, at the Grapevine Sailing Club. We are beyond grateful for them helping us to ‘learn the ropes’ aboard their beautiful Beneteau First 235, “Coquette”.

Started the day with a little time “house” shopping before visiting Kelly & sweet baby Nico while browsing a few sparklie designs at Pampillonia.
