You've (and everyone else, have got to look at her web site). This lady
is something else.

I'm not sure she has the street smarts I'd want to have to under take
the trip she's on now but she replaced a propeller all alone in the
middle of the ocean so she certainly makes up for it with other
qualities. I suspect it's no accident that her little 28 footer skated
through the conditions that killed that big, tough, 44 footer (In just
35 knots?).

We should all buy her CD to support this fellow cruiser who is doing it
big time on a shoestring. Scroll way down in her site.


Actually, she TRIED several times to replace the prop but couldn't get
the key in place in the rough weather. How about where she hand steered
for three weeks with no sleep!

Trying is as impressive as doing it in this case. I was just skimming
through the site on a friend's laptop this morning so I haven't gotten the
whole story yet.
