Connie was born in San Diego, California, and attended University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. Her first experience with boating was as a teenager, canoeing at a summer camp in California. Later in life, she cruised the Florida Inter Coastal Waterway, and out and back to the Bahamas, and learned to snorkel and scuba dive. As "The Admiral", Connie helps "decide" where we go... |
| She helps with the driving, docking lines, and the anchor chain.
She is also "Our Chef", and is a gourmet cook and prepares tasty healthy meals and snacks. She also makes her own scratch breads and cookies... Additionally, she keeps the interior of our boat clean. Her other interests include: reading mystery novels, sowing, quilting, and in the summer grows an herb garden on the flybridge! |

Peter was born in New York State and attended University of Texas El Paso. He spent his pre-teen years growing up on the Connecticut shore, along Long Island Sound. At summer camp in Maine, he learned canoeing, swimming, diving and water skiing, amongst other skills. |
| Shortly thereafter, the family acquired a 21' "Star", an Olympic Class racing sloop,
with a notable win record up and down the Connecticut River. Peter quickly learned
to sail her, and the family used the boat as a "day-sailor" on Long Island Sound.
Years later, as an adult in Newport Beach California, he met a friend with a 36' Ericson Sloop, and made many trips out and back to Avalon Harbor, on Santa Catalina Island. Several years after that, he ended up working in Seattle, where he joined a yacht lease program and over 6 years leased several 36'-40' motoryachts, and cruised the Puget Sound Area and the San Juan Islands. During that time, Peter earned his "PADI Advanced Openwater Diver" Certification and dove Grand Cayman Island, the USVI, The Wreck of the Rohn - Tortola BVI, and the lava tubes of Maui Hawaii. As "The Captain", Peter does the trip planning, most of the "driving", as well as the mechanicals, and washing-waxing, as needed. |

Zeus came with Connie. She rescued him from an animal shelter with a broken leg and had it reset, he's fine now. It took him about a day to adjust to boat living. He loves it, and has been de-clawed, so we keep him confined to our yacht, for his own saftey. While at anchor, we let him out on the foredeck, a real treat for him. |
