| Leaving Deltaville Marina 2010 |
We have just read about the plight of Chinook Wind, a 37’ Tayana owned by Dick and Ann Oliver. Sadly, it was wrecked on a reef, Aves de Barlovento, off the Venezuelan coast on 1/03/12. Fortunately, Dick and Ann were rescued. As this detailed Sail World article says, this is every cruising sailor’s worst nightmare.

We met Dick and Ann in Deltaville VA at the DeltavilleMarina and Boatyard. It is always nice to meet a friendly couple who shared a sailing passion. They also shared with us their sense of humour (Australia’s coup by Julia Gillard) and created interesting recipes –who could forget their sardine chowder!
We wish them well and trust they will get back on the water soon. |
