Bought in Fort Pierce, Florida, Respite is a 35.6 foot Hughes Columbia. Having weathered a couple hurricanes she was in need of some restoration, a project taking roughly a year. Having recently been completed, Respite is once again ready for the sea piloted by myself, Brayden Pitcairn, and my two brothers, Michael and Austin Pitcairn. We will be departing Charleston, South Carolina on Wednesday January 30 bound for Fort Lauderdale. From there we will make the crossing to West End, Grand Bahama Island, traveling further South East for the next 4 to 5 months!
