After moving to the US in the late 80th we (my wife and two children) settled in Westport Connecticut, mainly due to its proximity to the ocean. Ever since we owned cruising boats of varying sizes, sailing predominantly in the New England Waters, aside from annual bare-boating trips to the Caribbean and Europe for cruising and racing. | |
