I’m doing things.
In 2016, I was recovering from another shoulder surgery when I came up with the idea to buy a boat and start an online magazine and vlog. I was sitting at my desk with my right arm in a sling, kitten in my lap, and typing with one hand when I had a vision of someone drinking coffee and reading the paper in the early hours of the morning. There was a window with a marsh in view. It was low tide and long-legged wading birds, marsh birds, and small animals were foraging for food along the banks and in the shallows. The sun was coming up behind them and it made for a perfect morning and that’s when The Low Tide Chronicles became a reality.
Help bring BlueQuest714 home
The refit is underway with Chris Prince at Extreme Custom Marine, but the work ahead — wiring, systems, and getting back on the water — costs more than I can cover alone. If this story has meant something to you, here's how to help it keep going.
