It is with bittersweet hearts and deep emotion that we make this announcement. There’s a saying that the two happiest days in a boat owner’s life are the day they buy the boat and the day they sell it. In our case, that simply isn’t true. Misty Blue Yonder has carried us to the end of one beautiful chapter—and toward the hopeful beginning of another.
The work, the yoga, the love
For 6½ unforgettable years, we have poured ourselves into this boat—hours of hard work doing upgrades, troubleshooting, and full on “boat yoga” in every hidden locker and impossible corner. And yes, everyone’s favorite job: unclogging heads and macerators. In learning her systems inside and out, she taught us patience, problem solving, and the quiet joy of a project finally done right. Every improvement was a love letter to the adventures we were living and the ones we still dreamed she would make possible.
A life under her sails
From a winter stay in South Sound and Tacoma to bashing north through the Strait of Georgia, Misty Blue Yonder has been our companion in every kind of water and weather. She has carried us throughout the San Juan Islands and beyond. Spending a month heading into the wild beauty of Desolation Sound, the Broughton Archipelago, and the rugged Vancouver Island coast. In winds over 40 knots, she kept us safe and steady, and in quiet coves she gave us a front row seat to sunsets, still anchorages, and countless memories with friends and family. Her charter guests have felt that same magic under her sails, and it shows in every smile that steps off her decks.
Passing the helm
We were not planning on selling her, but this is the right time if we are to continue on to our next adventure.
Today, we’re happy to announce that Misty Blue Yonder is passing into the capable hands of Nick and Janelle Logan, owners of MBY Charters. They will carry her story forward with their own energy, ongoing care, and future upgrades. We truly could not imagine better stewards for her next chapter, and MBY will be fortunate to have them at the heart of her adventures. Knowing she is in such good hands, we pass the helm with gratitude rather than grief.
Gratitude to her community
To everyone who followed our journeys, shared a dock or an anchorage, sailed alongside her in flotillas, or simply stopped by to say hello on the dock—thank you. You are woven into Misty Blue Yonder’s story as surely as we are, and your company turned miles into memories. As Nick and Janelle take her onward, we hope you’ll cross wakes with her again and add your own pages to her logbook.
Fair winds, not goodbye
“Fair winds and following seas” is more than a saying; it is the mariner’s blessing for safe travels and kind conditions on whatever comes next. So fair winds and following seas to Misty Blue Yonder and her new crew—this is a farewell to our chapter of ownership, not to the spirit of adventure that she awakened in us. We look forward to the day we step aboard her again, and in the meantime, we turn our eyes toward preparing for the next voyage, hopefully on another sailboat that will carry us even farther beyond these familiar waters.
