I love living in Arizona.  Especially in the Spring; the desert flowers bloom, the beautiful sunsets it is just gorgeous.  That being said, I love the ocean!  The ocean is my church, where I feel closest to god; so sailing from Long Beach, California to Honolulu, Hawaii was like being in a Cathedral. I am…

I usually post around June 21st how I am grateful for the Summer Season. This year I was preparing for my sail in the Transpac race so I may have forgotten to post how grateful I am for summer. I am grateful for the longer days, the warmth of the sun and everything else that…

Back from Hawaii, it is time to re-engage in life, both on the sea and on the shore. I am caught up on emails, re-connected with clients, friends and family. I was asked if I would like to help sail Imagine Too back to Long Beach from Hawaii, of course I would; I just cannot…

The Transpac Race, 2023, is over.  Out of five boats starting, in our class, only two of us finished the race.  We were a crew of unexperienced people, none of us had ever sailed in the Transpac or to Hawaii from California.  We made it there in Sixteen days, twenty-three hours, fifty-nine minutes and thirty-four…

I hope that the title is correct and I am sitting in Honolulu drinking a Mai Tai. I hope that the hotel room that I booked several weeks ago is still available, I told them I may be a day or two late. Today I am grateful for the wonderful opportunity and learning experience of…

I don’t know where I currently am, some where in the Pacific, that I know.  Some beautiful sunrises and sunsets, I am sure.  I am very grateful for all of God’s great gifts and blessings.

This evening I am supposed to be in a board of directors meeting, but since I am still out on the Pacific Ocean, sailing a forty-five foot sailboat to Hawaii, that is not going to happen today. I am very grateful for my opportunities, my health and my freedom of choice.  I chose to be…

Today we celebrate the signing of the Declaration of Independence here in the United States of America.  Even though I believe that some of our fore-fathers would be rolling in their graves if the saw our government now, they way our politicians act, I am still very grateful to be living in the United States…

Today is the first day of the first start of the Transpac sailboat race; this is the start of my adventure with my crew of the Imagine Too.  I am figuring that it will take us fourteen to sixteen days to cross the Pacific Ocean from Point Fermin to the Light House Point at Diamond…

I am four and a half days away from beginning the Transpac sailboat race. I am excited, not nervous, just excited! I am grateful for all of the encouragment that I am receiving from my family, (siblings and cousins), as well as from my friends. No body has told me that I am crazy, they…

Yesterday marked the beginning of Race Week in the Los Angeles / San Pedro Habor.  Exactly one weekfrom today, on June 27th, the TransPac sailboat race begins.  I will be on one of the sailboats crossing the starting line and heading to Oahu on that day.  I am getting excited.  We had a new crew…
