A life changing sequence of events, a chance meeting, a connection, changin course, a milestone, a half century, a new beginning, cementing a plan to fulfill a lifelong dream.... In a nutshell, I am going cruising before it's too late.
With 7-years commercial fishing in Bristol Bay, 25 years of coastal Alaska sailing experience, 4 Gulf of Alaska crossings, two complete Seattle-Inside Passage-Seward trips, twice charter cruising in Baja, I think I'm now more qualified than most folks who make this leap. But more importantly, I have met my match.
Yea, cruising is never something I would, or really could do alone. From reading "Dove" at the age of 16, I realized I had much in common with Robin Lee Graham - not only the passion for sailing, but the loathing of loniliness. If only I could meet the right woman with the right passion for sailing......
Well, it's taken 35 years, but good things come to those who wait.
We are working on the plan, but we are T-minus 20-months.......
