Virginia Gleser – Harmony with your Partner in the Small Space of a Boat 24/7
Cruising the world’s oceans is more often than not, a man’s dream and his significant other, with some reluctance decides to accompany him. The challenge then is how can you cruise successfully (meaning having a wonderful time) when you live together 24/7 on a rocking sailboat? We have a fun and interactive seminar that will give you an idea of how we’ve managed to have great cruising adventures for 6 months of each of the last 22 years. At the end of the cruising season we have happily said to each other, “Let’s do it again next year.” We focus on the steep learning curve of the first year where there are so many experiences that can enhance your time together as well as situations to avoid while pursuing your dream.
