A young Cap’n Fatty and his mother, Marie Goodlander, the Sea Siren, were right at home aboard their schooner Elizabeth. At 94, Marie proves she still can handle the helm when she joins Fatty and Carolyn for a sail aboard their new boat, Ganesh.

Monitoring One’s Progress Toward the Loony Bin: On a quest for self-steerage, our intrepid do-it-yourselfers attempt the impossible in the most unfeasible manner. On Watch from the December 2012 issue of Cruising World.
Call it fate, karma, or kismet. Call it whatever you like, but some encounters, and the sails that turn up with them, are meant to be. From our October 2012 issue.
