Christmas Catch-Up

We had a fabulous second day on Saba that I will post about shortly, but in the meantime as I was going through all the photos accumulated on the camera and phone, here's a short review looking back to our Christmas in Marigot with Jim.

We baked yummy cookies

Jim figured out the favourite pastime in the anchorage

We had a bit of turbulent weather pass through around mid-day

Jim tried out the inflatable paddle-board

... And found it easier in huge wind sitting down

And we finished off the day with a golden sunset.

Mowzer's Crew

Catherine & Henry: We purchased our first boat, a Tanzer 26 in 2007 and sailed her during the summer on the Ottawa River. We then purchased Mowzer in 2009 and started off by getting into the charter business with CYOA. Over the next few years we spent our allotted time aboard learning as much as we could before we set off by ourselves. We finally 'cut the dock lines' as they say and moved aboard in October 2014.

Catherine: Trained in Math & Comp Sci, worked most recently (15 years) in high tech as an HR systems architect, interested in photography, sewing (learning canvas repair), languages, hiking, snorkelling and wants to learn more about diesel engines.

Henry: Trained as an Engineer and worked many years in high tech as a network planner, took a career turn and worked at Home Depot (as a job he could do anywhere in the world), interested in exploration, hiking, cooking, and sports.
