We haven't heard from the present owners of Sea Foam, so we cannot be sure that our ownership and home port information is up to date. But we have discovered that former owners, Herb and Nancy Payson, who cruised the Pacific in her for many years have a wonderful web site that includes a lot of photos. Many of them are included below, complements of Herb and Nancy.

Herb and Nancy

Herb Payson is the author of Blown Away and You Can't Blow Home Again, two books that document their six and a half years of cruising with their children throughout the broad Pacific on the Sea Foam, told as only Herb could do.
     After parting with Sea Foam, Herb and Nancy remained ashore for seven years, but then purchased "Red Shoes," a Crealock 34, and spent another ten years cruising. After that they spent four years "trailer sailing" while writing articles for SAIL magazine. SAIL magazine has featured dozens of Herb's articles over the years. He began writing for SAIL during his Sea Foam years, and his name appeared on masthead for thirty years. 
     Herb's most recent book, published in 1997 by Sheridan House, is Advice to the Sealorn, a distillation of over 20 years of sailing experience, and advice "...written in the same charming and funny style as Herb's previous stories..."
     Herb says, "We're out of sailing now, but I wouldn't trade those years for anything."
