In 1979 Eleanor rented an apartment on Marine Street in St. Augustine. A painter traveling from Mexico she found a place that fit her desires. An ancient, tropical enclave by the sea. A few months later she met Curt, a newly arrived woodenboat sailor who had traveled down the East Coast from the Outer Banks of North Carolina stopping and working along the way. He too had found a good reason to stay.

From that time, through their years together and the many places they have lived, they have documented their experiences through creative expression. Their story continues here...

Departure in Sight

We are in the midst of our transition. On one side is 18 years of a rich life in St. Augustine raising our daughter, enjoying our friends, exploring the environment and working at art and design in a beautiful place. On the other... the whole world. St. Augustine has been our home twice and may be again. But for now it is starting to feel like our boat's wake... closing around our stern as we break though new water.

Our house is shiny and commanding attention. We hope a sale is eminent. Next week we depart for North Carolina and then on to New York and Spain. Clean the brushes and sharpen the pencil!

A few snaps to remember our home on the island...

    I feel so touched by your parting shots of your house. I'm anxious to talk to you. Hope we might cross paths in Spain. Tell Eleanor our itinerary has changed very slightly, but not much. Well, if not there, then Richmond.
    Love, Anne
