Last week I attended a meeting in the charming New England port of Newport. Though I know I am fortunate to be able to live in the Virgin Islands it is still nice to be able to get back to civilization once in a while!  It was a busy week but I still got my bowl of clam chowder and I was able to meet up with one of my favorite yachts, Sea Walker; a 61 foot monohull which will take up to 4 people.

Richard and Eden Clay have been on Sea Walker for a number of years.  They chartered in the Virgin Islands for the first few years but have now been chartering in St. Martin during the winter and in New England in the summer. 

Richard is from New Zealand and has been sailing since he was only 8 years old!  He has an impressive sailing background having sailed over 55,000 sea miles in the South Pacific, Caribbean and along the East Coast of the United States.  You can definitely feel safe in his care. 

Eden hails from Connecticut, loves to sail, and is a professionally trained Chef that owned her own food styling and catering business in New York City before she began chartering with her husband.  She attended the prestigious French Culinary Institute in New York where she received her “Grande Diplome” in classic French cooking.

This summer Sea Walker is sailing to Block Island, Martha’s Vineyard, and plans to head “Down East” to Maine in August.  She is a perfect romantic getaway for 2 or a fun family vacation for 4.
