Introduction

I was lucky enough to grow up in a sailing family on the coast of Maine. My father Abbot was a remarkable sailor, and along with my mom and two sisters, we raced and cruised together throughout childhood and beyond, right up until my dad’s death in 1999. From about age ten I wanted to venture over the horizon, and have devoted much of my life to doing so. I created this space to share articles and stories from my life, mostly about my sailing adventures, for anyone who may be interested.
