What is the Blue Pearl?


The Blue Pearl is our Niagara 31 sailboat, which we bought this past summer.  Once we sold our townhouse in Vienna, Virginia, we needed a place to live and thought a boat would be a lot less expensive than another piece of real estate and more fun than renting something!  This is the Blue Pearl at her new home in Callao, Virginia.  We sailed her down from Annapolis in October, and plan to keep her here at Olverson's Lodge Creek Marina, which is just off the Potomac River and a few miles up from the Chesapeak Bay.  The marina is very quaint and homey, nothing like where we moved her from in Annapolis. Olverson's is a family owned  and operated marina that is nearly 50 years old, and believe me, some of the docks look like they are at least that old.  But we really like it and everyone is so friendly and helpful.
