I have been passionate about sailing ever since I first sailed on a friend's Laser over 30 years ago. Since
then, I've had seven sailboats from a 21-foot Southern Coast day-sailer, on which I lived for a year in British
Columbia, to the 32-foot Eidos I own now.
I have over 20,000 nm of offshore experience from British Columbia, Canada to Acapulco, Mexico, in the
Mediterranean, in Florida, the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands and also an Atlantic crossing. I have sailed
on all kinds of boats, from a 26-foot International Folkboat in Mexico to a 98-foot brigantine on the Pacific
and a 100-foot Camper Nicholson in the Mediterranean. I am a qualified Canadian Yachting Association
Sailing Instructor.
The longest I have been out at sea is 21 days in the Atlantic between Bermuda and the Azores. The worst
weather I experienced while sailing was 35 knots and BIG waves for 48 hours in the Atlantic. However one
day in the Gulf de Lion during a force 7 Mistral comes a close second.
At anchor, I do yoga, read, write, and listen to classical music. I enjoy cooking, baking, swimming,
snorkeling, or visiting with other cruisers. Exploring on land is very important to me as well. I organize car
and bus tours, hikes and nature walks and search out cultural events. And of course, there is always some
repair to do on board.

At sea, I like three-hour watches, sailing even when the wind drops and searching the
horizon for dolphins.
I like routines and being organized and tidy. I value silence as well as meaningful
conversation. I am a morning person. I am more intellectual and sensual than physical
or emotional.
In the past, I have been a researcher and a project manager for an oceanographic
institute and a journalist. I’m a freelance writer, a photographer and a life-skills coach. I
have two grown sons that I am very proud of and a wonderful daughter-in-law all living in
Canada and pursuing their dreams as well.
If you would like me to assist you choose an offshore sailboat, or invite me to do a
presentation for your club or organization, please email me and I'll be happy to give you
more information.
