grew up sailing and camping among the islands of Casco Bay. We had an 18' A.R.True 'Rocket' (anything but in actuality but that's another story). Some of my greatest memories were sailing on my own and with my siblings during my high school year on a 15' Albacore and a 16-9 Daysailor and being able to go camping on our own as well. That was true freedom and independence as well as having the trust and confidence of my parents at a critical time.

Ended up making my living on the sea and have never stopped dreaming of the 'next boat'.
