Still in King Harbor Redondo Beach,Troy saw a sailing boat with children aboard ,
so Nina and I went over to say hello . We could see, the guys were busy doing all sorts of last minute touches to their beloved ORCA3.
We introduced ourselves and met Steve the father , he said his wife and kids were at the pool.
We went to the pool, and met the whole family: his wife Dionne, son Kyle(13) and daughters Maya(11) and Emma(7).
Nina didn't think twice, and there she was in the pool with her new friends fully clothed!
There was an instant connection and the kids were great with Nina.
Talking with Dionne I learned they are from British Columbia in Canada and are sailing around the world. They had stopped in the Bay Area, at Sausalito and where on route to San Diego when we met them in King Harbour. It was great meeting a family doing what Troy and I are doing, and seeing kids being raised on a boat, educated, responsible and considerate, it gives you the feeling that you are on the right track with your life and dreams!
I hope sincerely to meet them again!
