Setting Sail, and Looking Back…

When I was a kid, my family took the adventure of a lifetime – selling our house, quitting jobs, and leaving the coast of Maine aboard our 1978 O’Day 32 “Legacy.”

Forty years later, I find myself thoroughly back on the water, and embarking on a grand adventure of this lifetime: Following in our wake as I set sail to Chase a Legacy.
