Chart Maggie B »
In the old days, Navy ships made a great ritual about finding the ship’s position at Noon, which was the start of the Naval Day. We hope, given connection challenges, to update our Latitude and Longitude each day and display a Google map and satellite photo of locations for the current leg of our journey.
Check in here to find the most recent info on our coordinates.
New Article | The Maggie B Lost to Fire
A new article (September BOAT International) is available (pdf) in the Ship’s Library, in our Links section.
Update on the fire, Thursday, 09.04.2008
I am very happy to report that there is a lovely eight page article about the Schooner Maggie B in the September BOAT International. Be sure to get the International edition, not the USA one. It has “Sailing Special” on the cover. We are on page 232. I will scan it and get it up [...]
Ashes to Ashes
Friday, August 15, 2008 – I went to see the Covey Island yard on Thursday. It was still smoking. Some photos are up on the web site, at right. What is more than a total loss? Even the propeller melted.
The current belief is that the fire started in the back of the shop, possibly by [...]
Maggie B Destroyed By Fire at Covey Island Boatworks
I regret to report that the Schooner Maggie B was destroyed last night in a fire at Covey Island Boat Works. She is a total loss. She was to be re-launched next Monday.
Pictures coming in a few days.
Schooner Maggie B in rehab – July 10, 2008
The schooner Maggie B is in the Covey Island shed getting fixed up after her hard 38,400 NM maiden voyage. There are some new photos up on the web showing how she looks all stripped. I was able to go by and see her the end of June. It was quite a shock to see [...]
Schooner Maggie B on Friday the 13th of June
Well, the Maggie B was hauled out in Lunenburg and trucked over to Petite Rivere, and is sitting (standing?) in the very spot where she was built. The plan is to make her ready for a few months cruize, starting in August. So we are doing all the steps to make her safe and [...]
Maggie B in for a refit
The Schooner Maggie B is in for refit. These last few days have had all of us busy in stripping the boat for the yard. Hard, heavy work, and also hard emotionally. Today the masts come out and she will look even more of a hard case. It is strange to be down-rigging as the [...]
Bringing Cape Horn weather with us to Lunenburg
The Schooner Maggie B docked in Lunenburg at 11h00 on May 10th. We are back after 38,400 NM. We beat the gale in. It is supposed to blow 45 knots tonight. We brought Cape Horn weather with us, though they say that this is typical “spring” weather here.
We were met by all the horns on [...]
Location: 35° 26N, 64° 24W
Wednesday, 05.07.2008
The Schooner Maggie B was at 35° 26N, 64° 24W at noon on May 7th. We are close hauled, making for our Gulf Stream entry point at about 7 1/2 knots. We are headed NNE and the wind has backed a bit to WNW, and diminished from 25 knots to 17-20. It is rather a [...]
720 NM to Lunenburg
After a lovely stay in Bermuda, the Maggie B got underway this morning and was leaving St. Georges Harbour through the narrow Town Cut at noon today. We have about 720 NM to go to Lunenburg. We hope to arrive there at about noon on Saturday, May 10th.
We have an interesting weather pattern ahead of [...]
