Although Gail was the instigator on going cruising, it was Henry who worked on her while sailing in the Caribbean to head into the Pacific. At a weak point, she agreed to go. When they left Canada's East Coast, telling family and friends that they would probably not be home for about two years, they had no idea that they would be gone more than ten. When their cruising adventure ended in Australia after getting an offer they couldn't refuse for S/Y Maritime Express, the travel bug was still with them. So they purchased a motorhome and spent three more years in Australia seeing this wide and diverse country, travelling more than 60K. Having still not tired of the sea, when they got home they started travelling on cruise ships and delivering boats up and down the Eastern Seaboard of Canada and the US for people who either did not have the skill or time to get their newly purchased boats home.
Autorenporträt
After purchasing our small boat and discovering we really did like this as a hobby, we started to crew for various larger racing boats on the Northumberland Strait between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.It is amazing to see how different captains handle a situation. We both took various courses presented by the Canadian Power & Sail Squadron and served on many positions on the bridge.We were taught how to read a chart, navigate, how to read the weather, boat safety, maintenance and many other useful skills.
