HIHO x Emily Pearsall: Exclusive Designs

 

Emily Pearsall was born and raised in St Thomas. She grew up on and under the water. Long days at the beach or on a boat and then nights at home on the mountain on St Thomas’ North Side with views up to the British Virgin Islands. Emily is raising two gorgeous island girls and helps run her husband Tony’s @localmotioncharters, one of the Virgin Islands best day charter businesses. Graphic design is one of her many talents and when we asked Emily put her hand to a couple winners for HIHO. Our new women’s mermaid and men’s swordfish graphics are some of our favorites.  It’s great keeping the creative side of our business almost homegrown.

Time & Tide: the 2020 New England Solo/Twin

Time & Tide: the 2020 New England Solo/Twin

On a busmans holiday Team HIHO sailing aboard the Sunfast 33 “byte” lined up for The 2020 New England Solo/Twin. The event featured a 70-mile ocean triangle course starting and finishing in Newport, RI with a course around Block Island and then down to the Elizabeth islands.  What should have been a quick sprint turned into a slow trek.  The “byte” team battled light wind, adverse currents and ferocious competition to finish in 25-hours and claim a 2nd in class position.

San Francisco Nice

Our zest for the San Francisco Bay Area extends back to our windsurfing racing days when we spent weeks and months training & competing here. Summers in San Francisco offered plenty of wind but cool temperatures, especially compared to the balmy Virgin Islands.  It was a treat to recently return and enjoy a perfectly gorgeous San Francisco weekend.  
The weather was gorgeous so we took every advantage and clambered aboard a Newport 41 sailboat for an afternoon of cruising around the Bay. In a light seabreeze we tacked up under the Golden Gate bridge, which we think is one of the greatest structures every built by man.  We sailed under the bridge listening to the hum of traffic several hundred feet above us, then out into the widening bay between San Francisco and Marin headlands where we saw black porpoises, seals and a sea lion, and shared the splendid afternoon with other boats.  
The following day and in even better weather we took the top down on our car and drove up the coast to the Marshal Store on beautiful Tomales Bay where we sucked down delicious oysters and enjoyed a bottle of Sancerre.  On the drive home we visited a farm stand in Bolinas, then diverted off Highway1 for a ride along the Seven Sisters ridge high above Stinson beach. We took in the sunset, which was a ball of fire dipping into the cold Pacific Ocean, and then descended into Mill Valley and back onto Hwy 101 to San Francisco.
