Sea Captain's Estate Sale

 Saturday, September 12, 2026

9:00 a.m.

130 Robinson Rd.

Jeffersonville, Vt. 

Early Numbers at 8:00 a.m. 

It is always interesting driving up to a home for an initial consultation in Vermont. With such diversity and interesting people in the state you never quite know what you will find. With that in mind even I was a bit surprised to encounter a true sea captain's estate in Jeffersonville of all places.

His widow explained to me they had bought the property in 1990 and over time developed it into their year-round residence. They were often gone for extended periods of time when he was captaining mega yachts for the uber wealthy all around the world including Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and other exotic places I will probably never get to. 

About five years ago a fire damaged the large home, necessitating a massive makeover. We mention this because after that most of the home furnishings were bought new and have seen little wear.

The old couple were also semi-preppers, and the good captain was not afraid to buy in bulk, whether he needed the item immediately or not. 

All in all it is an interesting sale. The tools and outdoor gear are one category, but should not overshadow the charming household contents ranging from modern to antique. 

Directions: From Route 15 in Jeffersonville at the rotary take Rte. 108 North. Proceed about 3.5 mile to Robinson Rd.
