Bob and Brenda, owners of Pandora, an Aerodyne 47 composite “go fast” cruising sailboat split our time between home near the CT River with winters aboard Pandora since I retired in 2012. \u00a0 As a sort of modified snowbird couple, we have cruised together for nearly 40 years for summer vacations while I was working and now for the winters down south.<\/p>\n

While Brenda is a self described “cream puff” and more of a landlubber, she agrees to spend time with me aboard as it is my passion.\u00a0 Frankly, she’d rather be home working on her passion, weaving and just about anything else fiber related, something that she has focused on for much of adult life.\u00a0 She does practice her “fiber arts” aboard when we travel but we have limited space aboard Pandora, as you’d imagine on a small boat.<\/p>\n

You might say that there are two of us enjoying my dream for nearly 40 years now. \u00a0Of course, I have spent all that time doing my best to make it fun for her too. \u00a0So far, so good.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/span>Brenda and I met in algebra class our junior year of high school (she sat two rows in front and two seats to the left) and have sailed together on a succession of boats since the mid 70s. \u00a0 How is it that we look so young (say yes) when we have done this for so long? \u00a0Perhaps it’s the salt air.
