I got here via early sailing vacations

with my parents, first aboard a Tartan 27 back in the 70's and 80's. More recently around 2000-2001 we chartered with Johansons charters then out of Camden. That got us going and we bought Shikari in August of 2001. After keeping the boat in Boothbay and driving from NH (Jackson) every weekend we sold the house we built there and bought the farm in Winterport, best thing we ever did. All the time we spent on the boat really got Molly going on the sailing thing, though you never would have known it during her high school years, going with us was not her 1st priority. I've worked retail my entire career so the HM connection was a natural.

By the way MMA offshore team got third this past weekend in Annapolis at the Shields trophy @ Navy!
