SV MOOSE - Cruising the world
 "Lovely it is, when the winds are stirring up the waves on the sea, to gaze out from the land on the great efforts of someone else." (Lucretius)
Hi, we're Duncan & Irene. I come from New Brunswick, Canada and Irene is from Groningen in northern Holland. We met when we were living in Curacao in the Netherlands Antilles and got the boat bug there. Since then we have sailed half way around the world on the dear old "Moose", our 39' cutter. We're currently sailing around Madagascar, well, really, we are stocking up on fresh stuff, since we were 3 months in Chagos (in the middle of the Indian Ocean) where there were no shops, no locals, no nothing! So, lettuce and tomatoes look really good and the beer also, by the way! On another level, our travelling has given us fresh perceptions of people and the places that are their homes; views through doors that were previously closed. At the same time we've changed; we've sort of become citizens of the water and what was originally a voyage turned into a lifestyle. So, welcome and please check out the stories, movies and photos Send us a mail! svmoose@gmail.com Have a look at more pictures and movies at Cruisingworld The Cruising Yacht SiteRing |
