After over 20 years in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, the grey weather got to us. We sold everything and set sail in a 1977 36.5' Pearson ketch we bought in St. Lucia. We're working our way North slowly, this first year.... We plan to do this for several years so we're major budget cruisers. We eat a lot of ramen, but it's very, very good ramen. "Me" is actually a "we" Wayne Seitz, captain and mechanic extraordinaire Dana Greyson, first mate and the Galley Wench of Galley Wench Tales, I blog about our adventures, misadventures and observations at www.GalleyWenchTales.com
