It's great to be back in San Luis Obispo. Our goals are to spend some 'quality time' with our kids and to paint the exterior of our house. The weather's been terrific - sunny and warm with a welcome chill in the evenings. Bruce pulled his laser out of storage and sailed in a regatta where he was beat by our daughter, Maren. Laura went to a cooking class and will try out some new recipes at the St. Thomas Boat Show in November. Our son, Connor, surprised us with news that, in addition to surfing and working, he's enrolled in college classes.
We've been hiking, dining out, watching movies, seeing friends and generally having a wonderful time. We're even enjoying painting the house! But as soon as the noon temperature drops below 70, we'll be ready to run back to the islands.

About Me
- Bruce and Laura Masterson
- MEET THE RETREADS Bruce Masterson dreamed of sailing in the Caribbean while crab fishing in the Bering Sea (think 'World's Deadliest Catch"). He bought a schooner, got his USCG captain’s license, and began his career as a charter boat captain in 1979, chartering in New England and the Virgin Islands. Like any smart captain, he married his cook and in 1987 he and Laura moved ashore to start a family on St. John. They bought their first catamaran in 1990 and began taking guests out for day sails while raising two children. In 1996 they traded that boat for a cruising catamaran which they sailed in the Mediterranean, across the Atlantic to St. John, and finally to Florida. After a 7 year hiatus in the U.S. to get the kids through school, Bruce and Laura have returned to the V.I. to resume what they do best – introduce guests to the joys of sailing in the Caribbean.
