Sailing
is a passion, a hobby and an escape. Over the years, we have had three boats: 26', 37', and 40'.
We sailed the first, a Pearson Ariel 26 named
Cachalot from 1979 to 1993. Then we sold her to a young sailor
from Gloucester, MA, and purchased Passe Partout, a Valiant Esprit
37.
In the winter of 1997/1998 we took off for a
sabbatical cruise
from
New England, to Bermuda, to the Caribbean, and backup through the Bahamas, West
Palm Beach, Beaufort, NC, and Buzzards Bay. Overall we sailed more than 5,000
miles, met many interesting people, saw many wonderful places, read many books, and drank considerable
amounts of rum.
After returning from "The Trip" as we refer to it now,
we sailed Passe Partout for a few years until suddenly, a
Nauticat 40 came on the market. We had to pounce
on it as few of them are available now. Baby boomer wants a pilothouse it seems.
Sailing is addictive. I would recommend it to everyone.
