"I really don't know why it is that all of us
are so committed to the sea, except I think it's because in addition to
the fact that the sea changes, and the light changes, and ships change,
it's because we all came from the sea. And it is an interesting
biological fact that all of us have in our veins the exact same
percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and,
therefore, we have salt in our blood, our sweat, and in our tears. We
are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to
sail or to watch it, we are going back from whence we came."

The Adventure Begins....
Harry, Heidi, Billy, Bill and Carol in Ft. Lauderdale. We purchased Gypsy Wind
from Bill and Carol, who took wonderful care of her while they owned her, and took
wonderful care of us while we were there getting ready to sail her to Madeira Beach.
Billy, Harry's lifelong friend, helped us sail her home - since at the time we had zero experience.
FOR A MESSAGE ABOUT OUR BON VOYAGE PARTY CLICK HERE.
Heidi's son Clinton is currently on an adventure of his own canoeing down the Mississippi River. Heidi has shared his story with some family and friends, as he has shared our story (and told about our website) with the people he has met along the river. He has met several wonderful people along the way, many of whom will be friends for life, and has invited them to share in our adventure on this website - so I am inviting all to share his as well. Click on his picture to get the latest on where he is and how he is doing.
