ON IZ (left) Once the sails are set, it’s time to sit back and enjoy the views. A sophisticated black maillot (Seafolly Australia, Sway) with a plunging neckline and tassel belt looks simply chic. Keep plenty of Turkish cotton beach towels (Living Well) on hand in case the waves kick up. (Sunglasses, Dita, J.J. Eyes. Scarf, Hermes)
ON CASEY A black bikini (Seafolly Australia, Sway) is anything but basic with three optional ways to tie the top and a wrap-front bottom. Keep a raincoat (Ciao Milano, Hemline) at the ready for wind and sea spray. (Earrings and sunglasses, Sway)
ON ROSEMARY (left) A navy bikini (Seafolly Australia, Sway), is topped with a breezy striped sweater (Sway).

ON ROSEMARY A flowy embroidered top (Parker, CK Collection) has peek-a-boo shoulders and layers of bell sleeves. Throw it on over white denim cut-offs (Sway), and you are set for a day in the sun. (Earrings, Harvest Jewels. Sunglasses, Dita, J.J. Eyes)
ON IZ Keep your accessories neutral with this chunky bead-and-ribbon necklace (Sway) with horsehair tassel and a soft silk scarf (Hermes).

The Austin Lacey fund
Above, Rosemary hoists an Austin Lacey commemorative flag on the riggings of the Joshua. After Fairhope resident Austin Lacey died of cancer at the age of 28 in 2011, those who knew him hoisted the hand-stitched flags in his honor. Since then, hundreds of boats big and small have flown the bright blue “A” flags in fishing tournaments all along the Gulf Coast and beyond. The Joshua is honored to now be included on that list. The Austin Lacey Fund is dedicated to raising awareness, facilitating early diagnosis and providing support for young adults with cancer. Learn more at austinlaceyfund.com.
