Dreams of being on the ocean lead her to attend Maine Maritime Academy, taking 2 cruises to the Caribbean and Mediterranean. She settled into a home in Sedgwick and continued working on boats, sailing to the Virgin Islands and her last trip, on a 50’ wooden sailboat fulfilled her dream of going down the Panama Canal. The trip took her across the Pacific all the way to Samoa.
