Just heard today from a DYC boating family, the Monahans. They have taken a year off to cruise aboard Catalina 42 “Promises Kept” which they purchased from Chesapeake Yacht Sales. With two lovely teenage daughters, Tesse and Tara, and the family dog ‘Eli’ aboard, the family sent an email today. They left DYC two weeks ago. Today’s email let us know how much they enjoyed Oriental, NC and then the Dismal Swamp route heading south. Tesse and Tara are ‘home schooling’ and ‘enduring’ their Mom and Dad’s cruising dream. Look for a complete article (from Tesse’s point of view) to be in the January DYC Anchorline Newsletter.
