Started in 1994 for our 25th wedding anniversary with the smallest Moorings mono available. We booked it for 5 days in case we 1 wouldn’t like it, or 2 couldn’t handle the boat with just the two of us. Note: the first mate, up until that time, was pretty inexperienced. After we raised the sails, and actually sailed in the pristine waters with that wonderful wind we realized we had made a terrible mistake by only booking five days. FYI we we were probably the original CC captain and first mate. And if Julian hadn’t pushed us off the dock we probably would have spent the entire five days on the dock.

25 years sailing the BVI’s, two boats in Moorings fleet, spending all of our vacation time and a lot of our retirement years not to mention our money in BVI, we don’t regret a minute. Don’t know how many trips to BVI, but we were going down 3 times a year using up all of our owners time and AA miles. Many happy memories.

We are now in our mid and upper 70’s. Outside of Chicago.
