    Thanks for the compliment, Claire! Which tall ship did you get your start on? Are you still sailing? The more creative women in the maritime world, the better!

      Thanks so much for stopping by, Lucy! I was delighted to discover your work. I have sailed on both the Pacific Swift in Victoria, B.C. and the Pioneer in New York. I haven’t sailed in a while, but I’m working on a book (shhh!) that will require more hands-on research.
