The Cure

The day after Thanksgiving. If you're like me, you're inevitably faced with a mild hangover and promising yourself you'll go on a juicing craze for the next two weeks. I've found that one of the best cures for a mental or physical hangover is salty air and finding time with the sea. In my younger years, this usually meant stumbling into a dinghy sailboat and going sailing with my college team mates working off our fun from the night prior....These days, the 'cure' has become an experience I crave for mental and physical stimulation. There is something about watching powerful waves meet with a rocky beach while the salty air stings your face and the cold penetrates through your body. You're frozen and uncomfortable, yet at peace and in awe, never wanting to leave.

Above:  Photographs from my latest visit with the sea, no doubt, the best cure. When was the last time you met with the sea?

All That Matters

Thanksgiving is my most favorite holiday. Not only is it a chance to embrace family and friends over a fanciful feast, but I personally use it as an opportunity to reflect on the people, experiences and priorities that really matter to me. Many thanks to C&C friends and followers for your support and praise since our inception.  Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving with your loved ones. Cheers!

Space Race

Pretty interesting piece in T Magazine's Winter Travel issue. I'm still not certain what I make of Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic SpaceshipTwo, however I suppose you only live once....

The Talk of the Town....

Newport, Rhode Island is indeed a small town. Many of us share the same interests which are typically the topics we/I get really jazzed up about: Sailing and Real Estate. Not only is the 'Seaward' listing the highest priced listing we've seen since the lovely Dodo Hamilton unloaded her 'Wildacre' estate this fall, or since Larry Ellison picked up a little beach house for a cool $10.5M (formally the Astor family estate) three years ago, but it just so happens the seller of Seaward is a prominent figure in our sailing community. Now, in the Real Estate world, we're taught to work in the best interests of our clients, and most often, that means not discussing their affairs, so I'll let you do the digging....

The ravishing ladies Kate Greenman and Michelle Kirby have the listing. They are both female powerhouses in the luxury waterfront real estate market and there's no doubt, this home will be off the market in no time. Click here to learn more. MLS#: 1055725
