Divers’ Delight Trust me, there are very few dive-equipped sailing catamarans or even yachts that offer PADI DIVE instruction for your first or 30th dive adventure. Imagine exploring the underwater treasures of the Amalfi Coast, Sardinia, Aeolian, and Egadi Islands. OMBRE BLU3 is a registered PADI Diving Centre, and she is equipped for easy access […]
Every time I douse my scrambled eggs with Marie Sharp’s hot sauce, I become nostalgic for fry jacks, pupusas and tamales. The memories of my first trip to Belize rush back to me and I yearn to swing in colorful hammocks, swim with sharks and rays, explore bat caves and climb Mayan Ruins!
Just back from the 2018 Antigua Charter Yacht Show and I can report that it was a raving success!

This year we have a new accolade to add to the luster by being rated best US vacation destination by US News and World Report. So, I set out to revisit the charms of Boston with a particular focus on the waterfront and waterways.
With Memorial Day Weekend behind us, we know by the activities on waterfront and the Yacht Club’s opening with traditional BBQ’s, it is the official kick off to the summer boating season in New England.
