A strange virus, set for August 2021 starting in Venice, Italy and traveling the the shut down of the world, social distancing, the wearing Croatian coast. This cruise is very special to me as it was one of masks. Our lives were changed in so many ways. I hope of the areas that my mother and I had planned on visiting by the time of this article, that we have passed the bitter end together but were unable to. So, I am proud to be going with and are ready to raise our anchors to sweet beginnings for my second family (YOU) to this magical place.

The times where our boat is moored or anchored and we must dinghy to reach the shore. Places Thank you again to all for your patience and support. And where you can only reach by boat. These are the times cheers to a great 2021 year! where I am in my “happy place” being outside, on and in the water, relaxing in the sunshine with a drink in hand and daily responsibilities put away for the time being. I hope we will all get a bit of that feeling this year on our very own island here in Dana Point. I am extremely excited to be working with my new officers, directors and committee chairs. Each one of them brings something exceptionally special to the table and I am thankful for their volunteerism and commitment. Thank you all!
