    I can’t stop watching — literally. I just watched it five times and I still can’t get enough. You captured the day beautifully. The music was a marvelous touch. Thank you for sharing your epic sail.

    What beautiful scenes and back ground music to accompany . Much thanks for this during these awful times shut in. We have 30inches of snow and more on the way here in Hudson Valley.

      Wayne,
      Not an encouraging weather forecast there! Geez, that could force one into hibernation. Spring will come though. Hang in there-

    A masterpiece. You combined some of my favorite things (small boats, unspoiled places and smooth jazz). That is the good life.

    Ah, vicarious sailing. Being a FOG with no boat that’s all I get but it reminds me and I can escape for a while. Thank you

    There are no words to adequately describe the theme and beauty of this video. Combining the peaceful video shots with the great background music takes one to a “different place”. So well done!

    Ok. I have read the Off Center Harbor email newsletters for years until I saw the video on the “Chick”. That brought me in to join because the Chickahominy River is one of the most beautiful rivers in the world. Most of the navigatable 22 NM is uninhabited at least on one side of it if not both. The Chickahominy River looks today as in in did in the centuries prior to Virginia being populated with the current population of non nomadic people. Traditional sailing vessels on the river add to its beauty. Thank you for sharing. Alan

    these boats are similar to the 18ft yawl Webb Chiles sailed from San Diego across the South Pacific to Samoa. Reading his book Open Boat across the pacific and he certainly is staunch! He could probably be a honorary lingering lunatic!

    When watching your beautifully recorded videos I begin to feel twenty years younger and that’s a very good thing. Happy holidays to you and the crew. Very well done!

    This video captures how we sail and overnight on our small traditional boats. The evening raft ups are particularly fun. Nice job Eddie.
