Marilyn

Marilyn in Rodney Bay, St. Lucia

Marilyn joined us in Las Palmas, Canary Islands nearly three weeks before the departure. She has more time on boats of various types than the rest of us put together. Marilyn lived in Alaska for 15 years where she worked on and skippered various kinds of work boats. She also has sailed across the Pacific a few times. For some reason she has only crossed from one cold place to another, Alaska to Russia for example, never making any warm water voyages. Having said that, Marilyn adapted to the warm weather just fine, thank you.

Marilyn made an invaluable contribution, particularly while we were in Las Palmas. She and Andy planned, shopped, delivered and stowed ad nausea. Sister was undoubtedly one of the best supplied, best packed boats in the ARC.
