| My husband & I started cruising in January 2019, sailing from Annapolis to Florida to the Bay of Fundy to Virginia, then with the Salty Dawgs Rally to Antigua in November. Previously, I owned boats and raced for many years on Lake Ontario. I am 57 years old, while Brian is 64 years young. We are both electrical engineers by training. But opportunity took me into healthcare and Brian into writing and teaching Zen. This cruising journey is a 3 year sabbatical for me. We are both non-smokers, enjoy reading (Brian especially), music and good conversation. We are both divers and there is diving gear and a compressor on board. I'm sure there is more that I should be telling you. But if you are interested in joining us for the ARC Europe, May-June 2020, please reach out and we can answer any questions. | |
