Calgary, Alberta
Dreaming of sailing for over 20 years and with the support of my loving husband, my dream has become a reality in 2023 with a first lesson in Porto, Portugal on a Benetau First 7.5 m. I mainly sail San Juan 21 keelboats at the Glenmore Reservoir in Calgary, Alberta and participate in the Glenmore Sailing Club weekly racing series. In 2025 I completed the Basic Cruising Standard on a Catalina 30 in Victoria, BC. I am looking forward to getting more time on the BC coast!
