About the Omarsea Crew

We are the Trefethens. After 10 years of planning we decided to sell our home and buy a sailboat. In November 2007 we departed Portland Oregon for the Virgin Islands and our 50 foot sloop the OMARSEA. Our three children Ben, Juli and Steve are enjoying the benefits of being homeschooled. Join us on our continuing adventures as we explore the East coast of America on the way to New Zealand.

Sailing update #1

I know some of you enjoy hearing about the things going on to get ready for our cruise. Last week I painted the hull Mediterranean white. Though it was not originally part of the overall plan I felt it was the best time to get this done. The last coat went on like a dream and that evening a couple visiting the boatyard walked over and asked if it was a new Beneteau. The gentleman could not believe she was 18 years old.  That made the five days of sanding and prep work all worth it to me.
