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.

Our first "Hop"will be the sail down the bay to Hampton, VA. It is 100 miles from where we are now and we hope to make this leg in just under 12 hours. Navigation in the bay is relatively easy as it is well marked and the main chanel is deep. However we must keep a sharp eye out for large ships carying cargo bound for Baltimore. Here in this Google Earth frame you can see our intended course marked in red.
