Hello Cape George Enthusiasts!
I hope this post finds you all happy, well, safe, and with continued Cape George sailing adventures in your lives!
Many of you already know of my extreme fanaticism for Yachts of the Cape George variety and I know you all share the same passion as I ... for they're truly great Bluewater Sailing Vessels: beautiful, strong, and they make lovely live-aboard ocean voyaging sailing craft.
My personal commitment to my SV Solstice of 18 years (since buying her bare-hull in 1991) has evolved from her construction to the same standards as those built by the yard, as Todd Uecker himself aided me in much if her construction, to her current use as an extreme offshore sailing vessel in my Modern Geographic Sailing Expeditions.
I've devoted myself and Solstice to the full-time endeavor of leading Bluewater Offshore Sailing Expeditions in the Caribbean Sea for the late 2009 - 2010 Caribbean sailing season.

Please take a look at our complete and busy sailing expedition schedule, as we're going through nearly every Caribbean Island Nation west of Puerto Rico: US Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, St Martin, St Barth’s, Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat, Antigua, Barbuda, Guadeloupe, Marie-Galante, Dominica, Martinique, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, The Grenadines, Genada, and Barbados.
We’re going to do some extreme open ocean sailing between each of the islands, sometimes involving overnight passage making, watch keeping, use of the Monitor Self Steering Autopilot… and really tweak and optimize the true benefits of the full keeled cutter-rigged sailing vessel.
I look forward to hearing from some of you with ideas, suggestions, and other words of encouragement… as they all mean so much to me.
Best regards,
Captain Paul Exner
