Here is a picture of Ann, Leigh Ann, Becky, and I. Guess who is who :) One sailed around the world, one is just back from a Bahamas 5 year cruise, and one owns a beautiful steel hull brewers design sailboat, and of course then there is little ole me.
Yea, they are a great source of insiration. These women are so amazing, sailor gals always are. I think we are going to make our pedi trips a tradition. I hope this will bloom into a rolling gang of sailor women reeking havok on the landlubber community:).
My goals..well the ultimate goal is to go cruising on my sailboat or my soul mate's sailboat, and use my nursing skills to help those in need (soul mate, if you are out there...call me :-) ).**UPDATE 11/2010 SOUL MATE FOUND!
Eluthera, Bahamas. School girls walking home.
Sailing a 51ft Little Harbor
Chasing a submarine, getting yelled at, retreating from said submarine..ahh thems were good times.
"She starts--she moves--she seems to feel
the thrill of life along her keel,
And spurning with her foot the ground,
With one exulting, joyous bound,
She leaps into the ocean's arms!"
-Longfellow.
Well that poem is me in a nut shell. I have always loved the ocean, grew up around it, have sailed over 20,000 miles on it. It still amazes me how the sea soothes my soul and thrills me from the top of my head to the tips of my toes . A place I can breath, a place where I feel God smile down on me… a great big horizon to horizon smile. I love boats about as much as I love the sea. Multi or mono, traditional or modern, I love em all.
I live aboard a Cape Dory 30. Her name is Ocean Girl and I plan on single handing her to Australia by 2012 (unless someone special waylays my plans).**UPDATE (11/2010) Soul Mate found!

Cute picture! I bet it's nice to know other women who have the sailing bug.

BTW- you are always welcome too.
This is a great photo - thanks again for keeping the kitty for us - she keeps asking for you again. We must do the pedi trip again.
