Sailing Into The Mystic
 South Africa to California, the long way!!!
We had talked about going sailing one day but our family and friends never believed that we would go. When the 'for sale' sign went up in the front yard, everyone asked 'what were we doing?'
Well, here we are. Living the Dream! The house sold and on Valentine's Day, 2005, we flew to South Africa where we contracted for a 40 ft Parlay Catamaran to be built. In November of '05 our new home was launched and it has been one long roller coaster ride ever since.
Welcome to our site and thanks for taking the time to read about our exciting adventures.
Love from, Debbie and Glenn,
