*In retirement - After living aboard our 42 foot sailboat for 13 years Kathy and I made the break in 2004 and sailed up the Washington coast and inside passage to Petersburg, AK. At that point we began our long awaited voyage south to Mexico arriving in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico on

are currently enjoying visits with family and friends across the U.S. |
