Rose and I talked about coming down for a dive. The lobster may
be all the motivation needed.
One day it will be a reality we hope.
Thanks for giving us an up close and personal view into your daiy

Dave and Fran,
Just read, all of it, your log. WOW!!! As Chris often says, "I
love living vicariously", and you offer a great adventure.
We, in Portland, are doing well. The summer is coming to a close
and the children (grandchildren) soon back to school -- and with
that ends the carefree, impromtu days. I lack the spirit for itineraries.
But, as I get older (much), the days pass quickly.
Jill is having a baby girl in December and that is wonderful.
We miss our Chloe so much. This baby will be my eighth grandchild
-- now three boys and four girls; ages 11 - 8 mos. All live about
a mile away and are a constant joy.
The photos of your journeys are fantastic. What a great web-site.
You both are young and gorgeous! Envious!
I hope to see youagain one of these days...
Love you.

Hi, Melinda just put up the picture of the lobster; man,it makes
my mouth water. Maybe I can fit some pontoons on my coach and
run down there for dinner? Anyways, sounds as if you guys are
having a whale of a time. We are very busy with weddings having
just had Jacob/Julie and upcoming Colby/Kathie. Jim is catering
with his crepe machine and Alyssa is living here w/us as are Jim
and Carolyn. We also have a dog (Lyss) and a cat (Carolyn), so
we have a full house. I'm busy trying to do all the work and maintenance
on my GMC motor coach, so all in all we're busy. Clo doing pretty
well, but the pains and aches of old age are with us most of the
time. I'm glad I don't have to do too much, unless I want too.
Best & love to ya'll

Hi Fran and Dave,
Daryl Jones and I met you both on the top of Signal Hill,viewing
Fort Rodney, on Pigeon Island in St Lucia around the 24th of July.
I am back to work now and I couldn't resist reading about Sorrento's
adventures. Your website is fabulous.I'm restless again after
reading your descriptive stories.
You were planning on heading further south towards Trinidad and
Venezuela, when we last talked. I'll follow along to share your
trip on the web.
Cheers....and safe sailing, Judy

Hey-good to hear your fun adventures. Do you know where you'll
be in Oct/Nov/Dec? Once again this fall, we are HOPING my health
will allow us another scuba trip.

Did nearly the exact trip as you guys in our Downeast 38 back
in 1978 - 1981. We were only 30 yrs. old and pre-kids retired
for a few years. Interesting to see your pics of many of the same
places we visited 25 years ago. Must say they have changed a lot.
Brings back memories. Kids soon to be out of college and hope
to do another trip in next few years. Thanks for the memories.

Hi Dave and Fran,

chance to get together soon in some part of the world. Keep up
the good sailiing!

Dear friends
I just finished reading your post. How I envy you. I have recently
been to Honduras and the Bay Islands. I am in love. I have done
nothing but dream since the moment I left the Island. I have been
begging my wife to please consider packing up everything or just
leave everything for that matter and lets just move or sail or
something. But no dice. So I am with you on every trip and every
new adventure. Please tell me what made you just do it? Did you
have any idea of the impact it would have on your life. We are
only 28 and we own a business, but I dont need it. I dont want
it . I only want to walk on the beach and see the world.
You have done it and you are doing it. There is absolutly nothing
like fullfilling your dreams is there, What was you life worth
it you didn't fallow your heart. Nothing if you ask me, but someday
maybe I will be sailing to or living on the beach with no worries.
But for now, you must think of me when ever you Dock and do me
the honors of a toast to me and my dream once in awhile.
Good luck and happy sailing.

Beautiful web site and a beautiful boat!
I've found a 32' Harstad motorsailer (ketch) on Lake Erie for
sale, and I've fallen in love with the design. I haven't seen
it yet and it's not in the water, but I plan to make a trip up
there soon from Dayton, Ohio where I live. I've sailed the Lake
Erie island for many years with my family's Ericson 29, which
was sold about 10 years ago.
Now I'm anxious to start new adventures. Is the Harstad the
right boat? I'm looking for an older. less expensive boat that
needs some tender care, but has been substantially built for wear.
Very anxious to hear your comments. Any information is most
welcome.
Thank You!

I had the great pleasure of meeting Fran recently in south Florida.
Her sparkling personality led me to feel like I had known her
all my life. As I discovered about her adventures with her Captain
and life partner Dave, I became very captivated with their story.
Having read their adventures makes me feel like we are an extended
family. I have travelled extensively in my life and realize that
there exists a sub-culture of adventurers. We feel like we all
share the same zeal for learning about other cultures and seeing
other places. We seem to know when we are passing by each other's
bow and all our flags are sailing...
This kinship knows no boundary's of ethnic or political origin,
just ordinary human beings daring to do extrodinary things and
live life to the fullest.
Long live ye..

I was sailing by your boat anchored in Biscayne Bay
on my sunfish and I was thinking to myself---Now there's
a perfect cruising boat. I loved the freeboard, and roomy
looks. I was very suprised when I learned at Starbucks that it
was your boat. Maybe I'll visit sometime.
I look forward to working more with you at Starbucks.----------GREGORY

Love the updates! Thanks for sharing. A herniated disk in my neck
prevented us from our annual scuba trip in Mar Caribe this spring.
We're hoping to go at Thanksgiving if surgery can be avoided (and
if we can afford it.) Until then, we live vicariously thru you,
so keep it up please! Especially enjoyed your pix of the dolpins,
we swam w/them in the wild last year off Cozumel.

I think of you often so I thought I would visit your homepage

one of these days. Windsong is looking good, we painted her and

We sailed from St. Thomas to Belize via the lesser Antiles, Trinidad,
Venezuela, Columbia, San Blas, Costa Rica, San Andres, etc. from
96 to 98. It was interesting to read you account of places we
had been. Our trimaran has been at Mario's in the Rio Dulce since
the end of our extended cruise.
We wish you fair winds and following seas. You are living every
sane person's dream.

Dear Dave and Fran,
Looks like you are still cruising. Did not read your
whole adventure just the first part. Just bought a Downeaster
32 which is nested at Harbor Island, did not even know there
where Downeaster 45s!! I linked to your site via the Downeaster
web site.
Keep having fun, I'll be back to read the rest of your
site.

Hey Fran and Dave! Can't wait to come down and visit.
Close friends of mine have just purchased a boat to follow in

near future!
Please tell Laura I say hello and I send my best.
Be well!

Sounds as if you're still having fun, eh? I'm glad Laura and your
friends could spend some time there. Ann & Paul talking about
a trip down that way later in spring. Maybe they'll get near enough
to shout. We've recovered from the holidays and Clo is in LA right
now w/a great baby shower for Erin. She is due about 06 Mar. We
are well, despite some of the infirmaties of old age. They tend
to creep up on one. What if that steering chain broke while at
sea in a storm? Wow, would that be scary or what? Is the exposure
to sea water and such the reason it broke? Be careful, Vaya con
Dios.

We have enjoyed yours trips vicariously. We had one of our own
through the Southern US, Florida Key West and up the East Coast
to Nova Scotia, thence back to Washington to see Chris via PEI,
New Brunswick, Quebec Prov., Ontario and Northern US. Gas Prices
really ate us up! We had our travel trailer, so took it easy the
whole time, had a wonderful vacation, and ate tremendous quantities
of lobster. We did some genealogy on Geo. family in Nova Scotia
and Ontario; Geo's great-gf on both sides were Canadians. We logged
16,200 miles on the trip and very little mechanical problems,
and were gone almost five months. We left in mid-February. We
spent time w/Chris and then she came down for our annual family
campout in late July at Santa Cruz. We had about 28 there, I think.
Maybe you'll be nearer home next July and can join us at Ashland
OR for the Shakeksperian festival. Luv u guys, keep up the good
posts on this site. Clo & Geo

Hi...Hope the seas have been nice to your guys. Miss seeing and
hearing from you. All is fine...Crackerjack is getting two NEW
CUMMINGS ENGINES which should give us 1-2 knots/hr more and a
more quiet ride. Jack is in the boat yard awaiting removal and
installation. I am at home for a few weeks, cleaning and getting
rid of things...Then I have to start my mom's house. I listed
it 4th of July weekend. Busy at work and reading some. Jack is
talking about going through the canal again, shipping the boat
to the East coast or maybe even Scotland. We will see. Let us
hear from you. Be well and be safe/ Love, Jean and Jack

She didn't break anything, per the doc, but she is very sore and
having difficulty walking. She will be ok tho. We hope to take
off for a tour of the US about 05 Feb. Joshua is having his Eagle
Court on the 4th. We are going to Nova Scotia via the Floria Keys!
Thanks for your email. We are very exited for you and hope all
goes well w/you. Love UG&AC

Hi Dave & Fran: I'm in Carson City for 15 days, helping out (born
to serve....). Left Brandy in good hands back in Washington. He's
doing great, "king" of the farm, just went to the pooch
parlor to remove excess hair, knapweed, cockleburrs, etc. I return
home via Portland (4 July with Karen,Terry,Devon,Spencer,etc.).
Leave again 19 July for 2 weeks in Maui with Sandie (high school
best friend). Home again for a week, then another week in Portland,
then home 2 weeks before school begin (sob..). I enjoy following
your adventures and still hope to visit you next summer. Mom and
Dad say Hi. Carry on. Love, Chris

We met this past week on the plane from Sacramento to Dallas.
What a wonderful gift you gave by sharing your story. I had hoped
to share it with my family. We immediately logged on to read your
adventures and watch your lifestyle. My daughters are impressed
and they are not an easy audiance. Your parting comment to me
was "live your dream". Thank you for your wisdom and
your kindness. May your dreams come true. I will watch your progress
as you live your dream. Thank you for it all.

can't believe its almost Christmas already.
It's 2:30 a.m. I'm on line trying to find out what to do about
my frozen water pipes. Any suggestions?
The weatherman predicts it might get up to 16 degrees F
tomorrow afternoon. I bet your both green with envy. You too could
be worrying about frozen pipes if you were here. Miss you both.
As Ted says you're living all our dreams, I think your both so
courageous. Happy sailing, blue skys and smooth waters.

How's the sailing? If I was a little bit older I would want to
come with you. Don't forget to write and tell me about all of
the beautiful scenery. Miss you.

Wish we were there. Just saw Robert Earl Keen at the Nugget. What
a blast! Miss you and the good times we had together. See you
soon in the warm climes.
