Raced in my twenties and thirties, did what I was told and knew nothing about sailing but loved the rush of the boat with her rails in the sea speeding through the wind! Now retired, bought a 23’ Merit Sprint (SeaDuctress)and been dreaming of costal cruising. In 2025 upgraded to a 2003 Jeanneau 32’ Sun Odyssey (Tafa’i). Member of the BHSC-Buffalo Harbor Sailing Club and the GLCC-Great Lakes Cruising Club. Active in NauticEd and SailTies. Two awesome resources.



Afternoon sail to the river Krka, motored well into it stopped for mussels and oysters. At a city dock for the evening. Dinner on land

First day on the water with Buda winds approaching. Stayed in our bay, Capt Dan teaching us all kinds of great stuff. Moor med ( I suck as of now) Abby from NC did a much better job. We did some maneuvers on the water to include locating, recognizing and taking action of nav markers ( cardinal and isolated danger marker) Hove too for good measure. Jilly is taking copious mental notes and learning a ton too. Was a great first day!
