.........
a woman like myself who might understand my sailing challenges and your blog "spoke to me" :). I'm a 49 year old mother of a 14 year old boy. I was raised with 3 brothers and was the one who "never got to sail the boat alone". Despite this, I watched everything. At 25 I took a 21 ft out of marina del rey in California and sailed all over the harbour and felt so empowered. I new one day I would be a sailor. I've taken dinghy sailing lessons / started Power squadron but had no time to continue with work and my son's schedule. A few summers ago I chartered a 28 ft catalina off of Sydney BC with my son and his friend. When my son graduates I want to liveaboard and travel. In the meantime, I don't know any women who have the interest I do. I don't want to race I just want to cruise comfortably. My current goal is to see what I could find for my son and I to do together.
If you have any insights into the sailing world for me Nancy I'd would so welcome them :).
