I started sailing when I was very, very young. My parents owned a boat in Loch Lomond Marina right next to a carpenter who lived on a sailing boat.

She, her husband and her son, had traveled all the way around the world on their sailboat. She was originally from England and settled here in the Bay Area. The woman, Frances, also owned a small sailboat that she would attach to the back of her bigger boat. A few times a year she would offer to take me out on this small boat. Though I was too young to remember the kind of boat it actually was, I still had fun every time I went.

Alas, all good things must come to an end. Eventually Frances went off to explore the globe again and I, left to my own devices, remained here in California. My parents did not give up so easily, however.

Joyce Jones, Mark Miglio, JP Watts, Leah PepeSome of SEA's many unsung heroes were just  featured in the July Issue of the Latitude 38! We're so happy to see some recognition for the huge efforts our members put into the sailing community.  2010 member Matthew Davidchuck kindly submitted text and photo to L38, highlighting  the things that make SEA's mentoring environment so special. Matthew heads up SEA's Grants Committee, and recently completed ASA 201 Instructor Certification. Thank you Matthew! And a big thank you to mentors John Paul Watts (currently sailing a catamaran from Saipan to Vancouver) and Leah Pepe, who recruited, mentored and inspired our current Director Mark Miglio!
