I always thought if you have to have winter have a real one...Here on the Eastern shore we rarely get the chance to ice sail, this is one of those rare years. Swan Creek froze across and allowed for a couple of days of great freeskating right outside our office at Haven Harbour Marina here in Rock Hall before the snow ruined the surface. Not much snow on the coast so we also got in a day up near Point Pleasant sailing off of Shore Acres Yacht Club. Good times!<br />
When winter gives you ice just sail on top!-TomTom Lippincott, CPYBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03977038494582173072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441567107074330576.post-33985980731291175312017-06-27T09:23:00.000-07:002018-01-22T15:15:57.442-08:00Lender....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Looking at my site I realized its been a couple years since I updated this blog...A lot has happened since I last posted here. The world has become slightly more complicated... Politics, business and technology seem to have adopted a winner take all mentality. Without getting political I have seen a shift in my personal concerns, wants, needs and desires...We now have three very grand grandsons to help keep things in perspective. We have gone from a Kadey Krogen 42 to a Legacy 28 to our current escape vehicle this sweet little Eastward Ho 24 "lender" named "Meander" <br />

The cantankerous outboard powered inflatables have been replaced with a 7' hard dinghy guided by a remarkably reliable pair of oars.<br />
The big diesels replaced with dacron and aluminum, the marina slip replaced with a simple mooring ball. "Meander" is a classic Eldridge McGinnis designed motorsailer with essentially no complicated systems...Perfect for a quick afternoon sail, overnight-er with the grandboys or a friendly "lend"...A "lender" is a boat so simple that you can lend it to a family member or friend and not have to worry about anything getting broken or them not making it back. A boat who's refrigeration, air conditioning, running water, electric toilet, radar, chart plotter will never break...as they simply don't exist. It feels right at this time in my life to have a "lender" to simplify, to go against the bigger is better trend...Possibly in the future a boat more substantial, more complicated...a boat that would be impossible to "lend" will steal my heart.<br />
Until that happens anyone want to go sailing?<br />

<br />
<b>T</b>he winter of 2014/15 will be one for the record books!<br />
Here on the Chesapeake most boating activity has been limited to skating across not plowing through the water! Spring is coming, the snow and ice will melt, we will float again.... In the mean time we put on our snow pants, rigged up some sailing gear and got our ice on!<br />

Yet Salt Yacht Brokerage Company has managed just fine without my witty banter oozing into your spam folder for over a year! I have felt guilty about not parading every new listing or proud new owner out to the awaiting huddled masses by way of "faceblogskypwittring" (new word)... I'm sure its been tough on those I've passed over, but with all this free time from not twittering, blogging, facebooking (much) or skyping (not sure what that is) we have had time to sell lots of boats and actually sail a few!<br />There is always room for improvement so I will try and keep up with blog blog blog ...but if sales drop off.....<br /><br />Next Blog....

This summer has seen SYBC continue to grow and our focus on just doing one thing and one thing well is paying off! We just sell used boats. No new boat lines to push, No charter company to manage. SYBC "Simply selling boats!"<br />If you are thinking of moving up or out of boating give us a call.<br />We have the focus to make it happen! -<br />Cheers,<br />TomTom Lippincott, CPYBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03977038494582173072noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1441567107074330576.post-23249584829727330152010-08-04T15:49:00.000-07:002010-08-04T16:20:27.842-07:00Salt Yachts Summertime...Well it's the middle of summer and the living is easy...<br>Ben has landed a gig Captaining the "Ellsworth"...

Looking back at my father at the tiller he glanced down at me and bellowed through a moustache veiled grin, “Hold on squirt!” I was soaked to the bone from spray, my eyes were stinging from the salt, and I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">couldn</span>’t help but live every minute with the vivid image that ‘<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">ol</span> King Neptune was about to have another laugh at our expense. My own grin only got wider. I was completely hooked and loving every minute. This was one of the few times my father and I went sailing as just the two of us. Those summer days out in the cool Atlantic waters of New England taught me so much and the sea worked its way into my soul. Sailing was meant to be shared and if only I’d realized it would be twenty years until it would be just the two of us sailing together again I’d have asked for more rides with Captain Dad.<br /><br />Many years later while living in southern California with my future wife we had a life altering conversation that went something like this:<br />Me: “Hey babe, what do you think about buying a little sailboat and living …”<br />Her: “YEA! Let’s do it!”<br />Me: “…on it…um, really?!”<br />I’m not sure it was that particular moment that my ‘she’s-the-one’ suspicions were confirmed or not, but it was certainly one of the many. The hunt began and each serious contender inevitably involved a call back home to ask my old Captain his advice. After an extensive search we found a 1983 Catalina ’30 named <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Abhoca</span> that was just right. We learned so much about sailing, each other, and ourselves and this time the sea worked its way into two souls and bound them together. There were numerous adventures and misadventures aboard <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Abhoca</span> and I can’t even count the number of times I wished I had the wisdom of just a few more sailing trips with my father as a kid. The makers of the board game Othello must have been sailors, hence the game’s moniker, “A moment to learn. A lifetime to master,” Come to think of it living, loving, and sailing all seem to share that. Ironically, we paid exactly the same for that first home as my parents did back when mortgages had fewer teeth and took smaller bites. Six months after moving aboard our little boat we were engaged and four months later, while a strong wind joyfully tossed her beautiful dress and tugged at my coat, we had our first pictures as husband and wife over looking the same sound that my father first taught me to be a man of the sea. After a short 14 months of living aboard, and breaking every wineglass we owned, we answered another knock on opportunity’s door, sold our floating home, and moved back east swearing we’d have another boat before we could miss it too much.<br /><br />While slowly decorating our first house (that <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">didn</span>’t require bow lines) on the spoils of two government salaries – <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">ok</span>, so it was really slowly – we went back to school and time slipped away. We had purchased our house hoping that the housing market would stay strong. Then we could sell it in a few years, buy another boat, and go on our first real cruise before trying to make our parents any grander. After all, if I was going to teach my son or daughter some day the way my father had taught me I’d better get some more experience. Well, life, like the weather that fills our sails, shifted and we’<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">ve</span> had to adjust our lines.<br /><br />During our four year “dry spell” we religiously attended the Annapolis Sailboat Show every October and fantasized about the boat that we’d be taking home that year. Then, last October, while fantasizing over the Tartan 3400, we met Tom <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">Lippincott</span>. At these shows you meet a lot of people who are familiar with boats but only a few true yachtsmen. We had a feeling Tom might be one of the latter, so when he offered to take us out on a brand new Tartan we felt like it would be time well spent. If sanity got the better of us and we found a new Tartan 3400 <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">wouldn</span>’t fit into our bank account we were pretty sure Tom could help us find one that would. As it turns out we found out a lot about Tom during that test sail and also discovered we really liked Tartan. Tom really knew his stuff and was so easy going and down to earth that we liked him instantly. We found out that he and his family had built boats of many varieties until recently. Ironically, every summer for the past five years we’d sailed on my uncle’s <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">Lippincott</span> Lightening and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">didn</span>’t make the connection until later. Also, Tom had taken his wife and kids on a two year sailing cruise. This was the perfect guy to help us find our next floating adventure and maybe even help us solidify our own cruising dreams. We were getting pretty close to our savings goal so the search began in earnest. After many discussions with Tom and many calls back to Captain Dad, we had a few good options. Almost all were Tartan, but none were perfect. Then we found her. Mon Repose, a 1993 Tartan 31 Piper, was listed just the day before. We called Tom and Dad and got the same message from both, “Get up there and check it out.” We drove the five and a half hours up to Milford, Connecticut and saw her up on the hard still shaking off the winter. She was perfect. On the way home we called Tom and he convinced us that we should put in an offer right away saying, “a boat that clean and well outfitted <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">isn</span>’t going to last long in any market”. We did and Tom helped us get her under contract ahead of six other offers. Tom even drove up to meet us after she was put in the water for the sea trial. Even with conditions gusting to 40-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">kts</span> the trial went flawlessly leaving nothing but a bunch of signatures between us and becoming ‘<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">yachties</span>’ again. I really can’t say enough about how much of a help Tom was and we really felt rather like we had a new sailing friend than just a great broker. Delivering the boat with my father a little over a month later I found that there were quite a few questions that neither of us could answer, but a short call to Tom had us back on track.<br /><br />Since having the boat safely home after an amazing 400-mile delivery trip we got to know the boat fairly well (with a few more calls to Tom), and with a few lines of Latitude under our belts and many more to come we decided to re-christen her Latitudes. Of course any good Parrot-head knows the “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes” connection and for us there is a whole new dimension each time we step aboard our little floating piece of paradise. Recently, with my wife’s growing belly, changes aboard Latitudes are indeed underway and I can’t wait to share the sailing life with our new little girl.<br /><br />Thanks for putting the wind back in our sails Tom!</div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size:78%;">Note: You too can have a story published here...simply submit any <span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff00">story</span> that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">shamelessly</span> talks highly of us and we might use it!</span></div>Tom Lippincott, CPYBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03977038494582173072noreply@blogger.com0
