Long way from home

[PatrickBooth]

Hello everyone, I am Patrick Booth and my wife is Ellen. I am from South Africa, Ellen from Chicago.
We live on our Defever 44 in the Sea of Cortez. We just moved from a Bruce Roberts 40 to a trawler as Ellen has a problem with arthritis in her wrists, and can no longer handle the lines.
We dreaded going to the 'Dark Side', a veritable stink pot, but now that we are here, really love it.
m/v Maitairoa. The name means Big Drink! Can't go wrong there.
