The Crew, on a trip to the mall in Istanbul
Leander initially left the U.S. with two able-bodied seamen aboard. We were most certainly able-bodied. Of our seamanship skills, however, the same could not be said easily. Fast forward to 3+ years into the trip, and we can take care of most everything on the boat.
We have also added a third crew member to the boat when we realized that there was way too much work to be done by just the two of us. After a fun, uncomplicated and adventurous pregnancy, Alexander was born in Turkey and has joined the expectant crew. We are thinking that he will be a whole lot easier to hoist up the mast than either of us.
