Profile for S/V NELLEKE

Captain: Mike, Barb, Periwinkle and Al
Hailing Port: RNSYS and AYC, Halifax, Nova Scotia
The Crew: Mike is a retired Candian Forces Army officer who has been dreaming of the cruising lifestyle and visiting new and distant places for years. We started in 2008 with a real shakedown trip to the Gulf of Mexico by way of the ICW and are now underway for a trip to Bermuda and the Caribbean. In fact he actually started this trip 37 years ago but then life - marriage, family, career, etc. intervened so this is kinda picking up where that left off. Barb is an IT consultant who has been training and looking forward to a series of extended cruises for some time now. The first trip to Tampa has just whetted her appetite.
Something
Extra:
Periwinkle is a white minature schnauzer who as delusions of Klingon and serves as the ship's security officer. Although small, he is blissfully unaware of that small detail and behaves like a rottweiller except when he hears sirens and in a thunderstorm.

Al is a 25 pound and growing Manx cat. He has the distinction of never meeting food that he didn't like. He serves on NELLEKE as the Pest Control Officer and purr-sonal vibrator

Nelleke is a 1980 Moody 42' PH Ketch. She is a solid heavy boat who likes strong winds that will let her pick up her skirts and move.
Vessel Make/Model: Moody 42 PH Ketch
