I, You and We
I
am an avid sailor and retired Coast Guard officer who will head south with the 2012 Baja Ha-Ha and embark on five years’ voyaging around the Pacific, Caribbean and Mediterranean.
Y
ou own a cruising cat or monohull and were infected with a similar dream; but fate, economics, health, or family issues intervened and now your lady sits tied dockside instead of slipping blue water under her keel.
W
e ought to see how we might help each other out.
