To Marc-Andrea Klimaschewski,
Thank you for the experience of racing in Swiftsure with your sailboat, Image. The whole approach was a new one for me, so there were many firsts. Being on a bigger boat, being on someone else’s boat, night sailing, the western Straight of Juan de Fuca, the personalities, it goes on and on. It was a risky move on my part(and yours), but I am glad I did it. My boat will feel even smaller now, but I feel much more ready for my June trip to Western Vancouver.
I am getting ready for my June sailing adventure and this year’s big re-up is the rejuvenation of the anchor gear.
