Welcome
aboard!
~~~~~~~~~
Silver
Heels is an American cruising sailboat, a Pearson 424
ketch upgraded and skippered by Captain Tor Pinney.
|
|
The
purpose of this web site is to introduce you to this good old
boat, and to share some of our travels and adventures, which
have only just begun. After a challenging, educational and immensely
gratifying 3-year
refit in a magical boat yard on the St. John's River
(northeast Florida), Silver Heels and I set sail in search of fun,
adventure, nature, exploration, music, presence, growth,
peace, love & joyfulness.
The
links to the left tell more about us. In particular, the Logblog
provides occasional updates of our travels. |

This
web site is dedicated to the memory of
Paul Alexander, whom I knew as the yard manager at Green Cove
Springs Marina. His open-handed generosity, ever-ready
helpfulness, and genuine friendship were a blessing to
everyone who knew him, very much including Silver Heels
and me during our long refit in his boat yard.
Rest
in peace, my friend. |
Verse
from "Christian Island" ~ by Gordon Lightfoot:
Tall
and strong she dips and reels
I call her Silver Heels
And she tells me how she feels
She’s a good old boat and she’ll stay afloat
Through the toughest gale and keep smilin'
But for one more day she would like to stay
In the lee of Christian Island
