I was raised in several parts of the US, but my parents weren't boaters. We all loved the water, and had swimming pools like good Californians, but we never had a single boat and only a couple of times went to a lake with a motor boat or fishing boat. I was a swimmer in high school - just good enough to make it to the State competitions my senior year, not good enough to scare anyone there. I've always preferred to be on or near water in quiet and relaxing ways.When James and I met, I was introduced to the idea of a sailing lifestyle. In a million ways, I recognized a way of living that would be healthy and keep me on the water and on the move. I loved it!

I want to ask big questions and actively seek the answers. How can humanity ensure that we have global civilization as well as global trade? Human beings can find and apply common, successful fundamentals of civilization. If individuals around the world have local culture but also make up part of the global culture, we will have commonalities as well as differences from which to develop understanding relationships. How will I work on that? Well, check out the long-term plans page...
