"Blue Water" it is!

Thanks to all who voted on the boat's new name! It looks like we'll probably go with the crowd and rechristen her "Lehe Paine," which is "Blue Water" in the Tehuelche language. This is special to Frank and I as it is an ancestral Patagonian language, and we thoroughly enjoyed our travels in the Patagonia region. Can't wait to break a bottle of bubbly on her bow!

Ok, now you'll have to pronounce it for me when we see you Friday so I'm not messin' it up! And hopefully the boat brings all good things, and doesn't become a "Paine" to live in and work with!!

Who are we?

We are Frank, Jody, Katreina, and Trent, and we lived aboard our Beneteau 393 "Lehe Paine" (pronounced LAY-hay PIE-nay) since the spring of 2009. We began full-time cruising and traveling in the fall of 2019 and sailed the U.S. east coast and the Bahamas until the fall of 2022. We then took a "boat break," traveling around South America via land and air and before dropping anchor on land for a bit in Northeast North Carolina. We are still happy to chat about all things boat, live-aboard life, cruising, boat schooling, and travel!
