I have been passionate about sailing ever since I first sailed on a friend's Laser dinghy 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. My most frightening experience was
at anchor on the north coast of Ibiza Island during a Tramontana. One day I will write about that one.
For fun, I meditate, do yoga, read, write, study languages, knit, dance salsa, and listen to classical music. I
enjoy cooking, baking, swimming, snorkeling, or visiting with other cruisers. Exploring on land and
meeting the locals 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 often up to watch the sunrise. I am idealistic and
romantic, and more intellectual and sensual than physical or emotional. I hope I am
relatively well balanced. Being a photographer makes me very visual and aware of
ambiance and beauty.
In the past, I have been a researcher and a project manager for an oceanographic
institute and a journalist although I have also worked picking fruit and waiting on tables.
Right now I’m a freelance writer, a photographer and a spiritual teacher-in-training. I
have two grown sons that I am very proud of, a wonderful daughter-in-law and a new
grandson all living in Canada and pursuing their dreams as well.
If you would like me to assist you in choosing an offshore sailboat, or invite me to do a
presentation for your club or organization, please contact me and I'll be happy to give you
more information.

And here are links to some of the people, businesses, and organizations that made a
positive difference in my life.
