How we got this far

Largely with the help and encouragement of a lot of people. We have added links for many of them. We are quite sure we have missed some folks, but to all of you we say

Thank You!

Gordon Bok sings songs of the Maine coast ( and other places) and was our first introduction to Maine.
Knight Marine Service provided our first ground level view of the Atlantic Ocean in Maine and continues to provide boat yard services as we go along.
John Foss and the crews of the American Eagle have been excellent hosts when we have sailed with them, and have answered a fleet of questions.
Victoria Sailing School was the first of several schools we have taken classes from.
Pete Conover and Bay Island Sailing School added to our skills. Particular thanks to Terry Moore, who has helped us learn to work together as a crew.
We met Mike and Julie Rogers on board the American Eagle in 2001 and have followed their progress with the Jenny Norman.
Blue Water Sailing School taught our Offshore Passage Making courses, 8 days between Ft. Lauderdale Florida and St. Georges Bermuda with Capt. Ted Wheeler.
Pope Sails & Rigging our appreciation for advice and assistance as we configure our rig for offshore sailing.
Good Old Boat magazine has useful articles on how to fix just about anything. Jerry and Karen Powlas write for those of us who own boats with a few years on them.
Lin and Larry Pardey, with their go small, go simple and go now philosophy have encouraged us to move forward with our sailing, and find ways to make it work.
The folks of the Starboard Home Chronicles have provided inspiration by example.
