Two years ago today I celebrated my 38th birthday Two years ago today I celebrated my 38th birthday in the middle of the #pacificocean on our #vicmauidelivery. Travis baked me a lopsided chocolate birthday cake and I received a special Christmas ornament from @winter_wren and Joe that I love seeing on the tree each year. @geofflugar has his birthday a few days after mine so we all #celebratedtogether. Who would have thought that things would be so different two years later and that we'd be missing a big piece of the puzzle. RIP Travis and thank you for making 38 so #freakingawesome ❤⛵ #sailonmyfriend #fairwinds #alwaysonmymind #38wasspecial #40isawesome !
More waves, wind and rain for our #vicmauidelivery More waves, wind and rain for our #vicmauidelivery ! We spent a lot of time in our @hellyhansen gear staying dry. Helming our 50 ft #beneteauoceanis was a breeze though as #turnagain was such a great boat. Fond memories with @winter_wren @duncancameron2 @geofflugar and of course Travis. ❤⛵ #adventures #getoutside #sailnelsonbc #explorethepacific #pacificoceancrossing #aegirgearrocks
#breakingbread on S/V #turnagain with the two crew #breakingbread on S/V #turnagain with the two crews was always such a welcome social time! Time to #catchup, #havefun and get to know each other. Mainly I think it was a time for @duncancameron2 to pick Travis' brain... 🤔😂 #vicmauidelivery #vicmaui2018 #turnagainadventures #getoutside @winter_wren @geofflugar #twoyearsago
This was me #vicmauidelivery 2018 when we were bri This was me #vicmauidelivery 2018 when we were bringing S/V #turnagain back from a successful race. What an adventure and thank you to @winter_wren for reminding me. I have been so in " #covid19 " world that I had forgotten to be #thankful for my past. Hugs to @mcgregor.travis wherever you are and #fairwindsandfollowingseas to a great skipper and mentor. #gonebutneverforgotten I'll be posting a photo a day for the next few weeks to remember our adventure! @geofflugar @duncancameron2 Hoping to sail again soon...
