About us
- Neil & Jackie
- We are orginally from The North of England, and left on our travels in 1992. Initially we back packed and worked our way around the world, then hot and one sultry day in Indonesia, we were sweating in our hut on the beach, and spied a yacht swaying at anchor in the breeze, let's learn to sail and so we can travel by boat we cried. So we teamed up with Stan and his boat Selene as crew, learning to sail and maintain boats, on and around beautiful San francisco bay. We bought our first boat Cetacea, a Cascade 36 in Florida, and sailed her on and off for two years in the Caribbean, then sold her. One year later boat number two Voyager was purchased in San Diego, she was also a Cascade 36, we sailed up and down the West coast of the US, and Mexico, then sold her in Seattle, and guess what a year later we bought Camelot.......see the disturbing pattern! She is not a Cascade she is a completely different beast, 10 feet longer and 3 feet wider and tons heavier. She has been partially yet lovingly restored, and we are finishing off the task, so we are clawing our way up another steep learning curve .
