Launch Day!

The adventures of the Glory B continue with the launch of the Captain's long awaited book: Glory B! 1000 Miles of Mishaps and Miracles. UPDATE: She now has a new engine and traveled (under her own power!) to her new moorage beside the float house the Lord so graciously provided for Lilly and the Captain in Thorne Bay. Plans are to complete the restoration that will have her "ship shape and Bristol fashion" in time to resume her exploration of Southeast Alaska, next summer. 
​Meanwhile, you can take a peek into their life and activities in this "Sweet Haven" that Lilly has named this spectacularly beautiful place by visiting the Captain's blog Compass Points, over at his website, CaptainGloryB.com. The postings here will continue to log the restoration, as well as the plotting of the course that will resurrect the "adventure of a lifetime" for all three of them. Until then, here's hoping you will enjoy the book trailer, read the book, and come back often to check up on what's happening out there in paradise.

    Glory B!

    1000 Miles of Mishaps and Miracles

       It started out as a summer vacation and turned into the adventure of a lifetime. At the age of seventy, when it looked like life was over, Dave Graham put everything he owned in storage and went in search of a dream he thought was no longer within reach.

    But what if it wasn't?

    ​   Here is how one man managed to climb out of retirement, buy the boat of his dreams, and take it up through the Inside Passage—past thousands of islands—without modern navigational aids.
       All the way .to Alaska. 

    The Glory B.

    In 2014, the Captain and Lilly Maytree set out in their 32' classic sailboat Glory B on their adventure of a lifetime. In November of 2015, while they were on a holiday book tour in the "lower 48," it sank at the docks back in Thorne Bay, Alaska. 

    After a 1000 mile voyage of mishaps and miracles, they decided to raise and restore this unique vessel that had been such a blessing to so many, rather than continue the dream without her.

    ​This blog is the chronicle of that restoration.
