Day -1 In the beginning.....

Well it has been a long time in planning.  It started a long time ago when Julie sailed as a teenager on her dads boat.  Then Dawson and Julie hitchhiked onto a Catamaran at the Great Barrier Reef for a couple of weeks 25 years ago, then the Tanzer, the Mirage, and now the Caliber.....

After many training courses, a few international charters, a few races, and lots of cruising we are about to embark on our 18 month sabbatical.


Turkey Charter 2010

The house is rented, mailing addresses adjusted, boxes packed, jobs put on hold, dog sitter lined up (thanks Alicia and Alex), kids employed or at school and doing wonderful, so here we go.  Oh no, waters too cold, let's go skiing and hiking for a few months and wait for the water to warm up.  Stay tuned as we drive across Canada, couch surfing and skiing with friends along the way on our
Ski-bbatical.
