About
A few years ago, my wife Karen and I bought a sailboat and took our kids sailing around the Caribbean for nearly a year (see Google Earth visualization of that trip, and see the "blog" for that trip). My wife and I thought cruising and exploring by sailboat was such a great idea, we planned to do it again when our kids moved out for college. In fact, we decided we would sell our house, buy a new boat, and live and sail around the world for five years. Guess what? Our kids (who are twins) are starting college right now. And we just bought a new sailboat called Tahina! We picked up Tahina in the Bahamas in mid-August 2008 and brought to our home state - North Carolina..
