Do you ever wonder how Captain Jon knows what the weather on the bay is going to be while you are out sailing? He tunes into the marine radio on board and listens to what NOAA has to say. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is a federal agency focused on the condition of the […]
The extended days of June make for perfect sailing. We stay out later as the days are longer and the winds are just perfect for a little adventure. Now, when I say adventure, I don’t mean sailing at mock 5, I just mean a little excitement to get your cheeks pink and then a relaxing […]
Save America’s Treasures, a part of the National Parks Service, has awarded Association for Maritime Preservation (AMP) a $300,000 matching grant. What does this mean for the Riggin? AMP has agreed to take on the rebuild of the Riggin as their first project! While the actual work on the boat will begin the fall of […]
Changes are fun and they are afoot in our world. As you’ll see, we’ve shifted Artichokes and Asparagus, my food blog. The new name is now At Home & At Sea. Sound familiar? Yup, it’s the name of my cookbook and WAS the domain name for the cookbook website. The cookbook website is no longer […]

Sometimes we would wrap the shrimp in Prosciutto and grill it while making the sauce with the olives. Recently, Plating Up shared this […]
This past Saturday Maine Food & Lifestyle’s blog – Plating Up featured one of Chef Annie’s recipes. If you own a copy of the At Home At Sea cookbook you may recall the story of the Pyrex explosion! This is what Annie made instead – it was both fast and easy. Grilled Chicken with Passion Fruit Sauce […]
The perfect sailing moments DO come! Sunny, but not too hot. Mixed with windy, about 15 knots of breeze from a fair direction. Peppered with just enough time to sit on the rail and breathe in the clean, ocean air spiced with the faint scent of seaweed from the beach, salt and the warm scent […]
