The skippers:
Eve
and Jerry got bitten by the sailing bug in the late 80's when they
"swept themselves out to sea" on the vast waters of Lake Winnipeg,
Manitoba; a lake so big it has been dubbed "Prairie Ocean". They
were members of Canadian Yachting Association and
were involved actively in Gull Harbour Sailing Association where
Eve was a Commodore.
Their summers were spent
discovering and exploring the beautiful and often mysterious corners
of this great lake, all the while playing with the many different
winds Mother Nature decided to provide them with, some barely there,
and some extremely challenging.
In 1999 they packed up the boat and
took her down to Florida, to sail the warm waters of the Gulf of
Mexico for 3 months, ringing in the new millenium with the
dolphins.
It was not long before the need to
spread their sails even further struck. The decision to move to
British Columbia was made, and that they did; to the beautiful West
Kootenays. Now they and their boat "Eve" are happy on stunning
Kootenay Lake.
