Sailing with your spouse

What a great topic. My spouse and I are learning to sail together. We definitely have different strengths & weaknesses and I will take your recommendations with me on the next lesson! Thanks and keep up the podcasts…we are listening.

Thanks Penny!!!

My grandfather passed away unexpectedly a few years ago when I was 14 and I was given books of his and among them was the Annapolis book of Seamanship by John Rousmaniere. I was instantly hooked on sailing and now I’m in the process of saving to build a curragh.
