This year held many wonderful experiences aboard, our longest and roughest ocean passage yet, and idyllic cruising in the Leeward and Windward Islands of the Caribbean.

Bob Kells, Alice's creator and original owner, came for the cruise from Norfolk to Beaufort, North Carolina. The waterway and Virginia sounds gave us ideal weather. Bob Schloss provided the snappy crew jackets.
Bob S. promised he wouldn't endanger too many of the local fish.

Dawn in a cozy creek. Bob K. has already chamoised the teak!
We all liked her looking good, and didn't mind hearing a lot of compliments from passing boats.
Enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts
