Captain Tim & Admiral Donna

We spent our careers in medicine and law. Then we bought a 42-foot sailing catamaran — the Irish Wake — and based it in the British Virgin Islands. That was one of our BEST decisions ever! And as a side benefit, it has given us access to a fleet of comparable charter vessels around the world.

We've now sailed in fantastic destinations in the Caribbean and Mediterranean and are headed to the South Pacific soon — with friends and guests who range from seasoned sailors to people who had never left the shore. We've learned a lot along the way about what makes a week at sea truly unforgettable.

We've struck out on this adventure because we want to share it — all of it. The navigating, the anchorages, the lobster dinners, the spectacular sunsets...and even the rare mainsheet override on the electric winch...'cause THAT'S fun.

The day everyone remembers

Ask our crew which day they'd sail again, and it's almost always this one. In the British Virgin Islands, we point the bow downwind toward Jost Van Dyke — sails full, engines off, a long easy glide with a parade of islands sliding past. If the dolphins are going to turn up, this is where they do it, surfing along the bows while everyone scrambles for a phone.

We swim off a castaway sandspit barely bigger than its palm trees, float away the afternoon at White Bay, and raise a Painkiller at the Soggy Dollar before dinner ashore at Foxy's. That's a BVI day — Croatia, Belize, Greece and the South Pacific each have one of their own. Some days at sea are merely wonderful; this is the kind people talk about back home.
