Maxine

Maxine has finally consented to being introduced to everyone. She thinks this blog is pretty outrageous but she is now willing to "go along" as it is her only way to get to warm waters.
Maxine was hired on as crew just before we left Salmon Harbor. She told us stories of having sailed with David Crosby (of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young) and Jimmy Buffett (of Margaritaville fame). Recently she has been residing on the SV (sailing vessel) Footloose in Salmon Harbor. Her captain Ted let her know that we were bound for the Sea of Cortez and she decided it was time to see some sun. Maxine doesn't eat much, is pretty quiet, likes movies and enjoys sitting on deck, all of which is good, but her proficiency at sail handling and covering a watch leaves something to be desired. I guess I use the word "crew" loosely. Anyway, I'm sure you will see her in the future as she shares our passage. Well, Maxine is headed out on deck to absorb some much appreciated rays of sunshine. Me, I'm headed for the shower . . . . .
