Part 1
“Although some people (especially a couple of ex wives) might claim that I have been sailing in circles most of my life, when it comes to last year, I’d have to agree with them.

Lauderdale, included two Atlantic crossings, a summer and fall exploring the Western Mediterranean, a winter in the Windward and Leeward Islands of the Caribbean, and a ripping spring reach through Bahamas back home.”
