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. For over ten years we've been sailing "Moose", our 39' cutter around the world. And, we have completed our circumnavigation by arriving back in Curacao. The sweetest come back ever! We completed a circle of 40,000 miles, most of it at 5 miles per hour... Now we're off the boat for a while; no pirates, no midnight tankers. But we are still traveling, and the next cruise is in the making ..... It's nice being back in the first world in that you don't have to constantly be watching your six-o'clock...on the other hand, I think you can be suffocated by regulations. We have a new lifestyle, but what rich experiences and memories. When we look at the photos we are sort of in awe. We've taken many of our sailing experiences from the early years and spun them into a book; "Never a Dull Moment" is the title and it's out now! If you're keen on going cruising it will be very helpful. And if you're sailing now, I think it will have you laughing a lot!
