Amazing feat.
Unfortunately, she sold/gave her boat to folks her wrecked it between New Orleans and LA.
I inquired about the boat which was going for around 80k but it was in NZ. It would cost at least 25k to ship it. Had it been in FLA or Caribbean I might have bought it.

Meant to say Wrecked between New Zealand and LA.
Really. It was up for sale for some time. Actually emailed back and forth in 2015.
I figured if that boat were good enough for her to do the globe alone, we could live aboard and amateurly ply the USVI/BVI to SXM and back.

So wonderful that St. Maarten could play a role in her unbelievable adventure.
