Although Gail was the instigator on going cruising, it was Henry who worked on her while sailing in the Caribbean to head into the Pacific. At a weak point, she agreed to go. When they left Canada's East Coast, telling family and friends that they would probably not be home for about two years, they had no idea that they would be gone more than ten. When their cruising adventure ended in Australia after getting an offer they couldn't refuse for S/Y Maritime Express, the travel bug was still with them. So they purchased a motorhome and spent three more years in Australia seeing this wide and diverse country, travelling more than 60K. Having still not tired of the sea, when they got home they started travelling on cruise ships and delivering boats up and down the Eastern Seaboard of Canada and the US for people who either did not have the skill or time to get their newly purchased boats home. | The Cruising Log Of S/y Maritime Express by G K (gail) Soucoup, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
