Hi, I am a lifelong lover of
boats and the people who feel moved to be aboard them. I was raised on an old Alden schooner on the
Mississippi River in the 1950's. I have lived in a boat building cooperative where I built ferro-cement
boats with my husband in the 1960s and 1970s. In 1985, post-divorce and wanting to be
captain of my own life, I bought my own little
ketch, a 30ft Kenner Privateer. Well, that proved to be a bit much at the time, so moved ashore and settled for kayaking. I haven't had a boat in awhile because I have been busy writing a memoir about growing up aboard the old schooner. It was published recently. I have a website at
