Liward
 Welcome Aboard! We thought this website would be a great way to keep friends and family updated. By the way, we are not responsible for the website name!
We are Lili and Steve, embarking on our dream to sail the oceans of the world. We have lived on our 48 foot Hans Christian, "Liward" for 17 years in Houston, Texas. Lili retired from NASA, Steve from Shell, and we have just started what may turn out to be a trip around the world. We left Florida in the spring 2006 for places south!
