This is our first week of operation here at Mystic Charters. Today we picked up Lars and Sandor from Nanny Cay after a short sail from Anegada. We were on Anegada for a couple days enjoying one of the worlds largest barrier reefs. Ty got a good kite session in and the rest of [...]

Today is our last day in the toxic oven formally called the boatyard. After two grueling weeks of sweating it out here in sauna-like cabin temperatures, we’re all glad to be leaving the yard. You see, we had to keep all windows cracked and the door shut so our little Houdini cat wouldn’t turn [...]

Here’s a slideshow of images taken in Newport and Hampton. I’ll include this video BUT only with a disclaimer:
This footage is from the first kite session of this trip. The riding is sub-par, the video is handheld, and the lighting is overhead. I can assure you that what you’re viewing here will end up [...]

Add a little coconut milk, OJ, pineapple juice and ice, blend or better yet- it’s more slam-able on the rocks. Top it off with a dash of nutmeg and… shazamm, your in flavor country.

Hi everyone,
Thanks for following our progress. It was pretty rough out there at times but I never feared for my life or freaked out. To be honest, I had a great time. I think our “shakedown” sail down from Newport gave me the courage to endure just about any conditions. I guess being the rookie [...]

Hi y’all, I just thought I’d post some of my shots from our Christmas Eve sail.
Today we went for a skate here around Hampton. It’s nice to sk8 on a holiday when no one’s around. We hit up a loading dock, a few ledges, a couple parking garages. Not once did we have to answer [...]
