Preparing her for single handing is a craft in itself. My husband single handed his 32' Beneteau from Seattle to Hawaii, Palmyra Atoll and Fanning Is. Eventually he brought her back to Seattle where lived aboard between the Ballard and Fremont bridges. I read through your blog and saw your connection to Seattle, too. Your love story is very moving and yes, I believe you can know your soul mate by the sound of his/her voice. I have been doing some online research because our little family is dreaming of the day when we can cast off and head to the deep blue waters of the South Pacific. I have combed through blogs, websites and books for ideas and planning lists. As I was reading through your list of improvements, your love story came startling out of the background. My heart is touched by your memories of your wife and her courageous life. It reminded me of a similar experience that the author,<a href="http://www.chasingsunsetsthebook.com/aboutus.htm" rel="nofollow"> Lawrence Pane</a> went through, losing his wife to breast cancer. He completed a 6 1/2 year circumnavigation with his then 6 year old son. Mr. pane has written for many of the sailing magazines as well as cancer related articles for Coping. I hope your <em>Pretty Gee</em> comes into her own soon. She will be a brave vessel just like Gee herself. Nameste, Molly Daniel,
