- Biography
- 30+ yrs living aboard with my wife. Cruised New England extensively on our Formosa 51 ketch. After retirement we were free to sail long distance, offshore, north and south with the seasons. In 2017, hurricane Irma destroyed our “Snow Goose”, and we considered giving up the joys of the cruising life… but we just couldn’t. We purchased the closest thing we could find to “Snow Goose”… a schooner of similar size, strength and hefty weight.
At age 75 my eyesight became troublesome and hearing aids had already been necessary. A family upset broke the camel’s back, and with broken hearts we put our schooner up for sale (see classifieds).
