Laura Kennedy and sometimes crew aboard Andunge, my 22' Westertly Nomad
Currently sailing the Sea of Cortez and am hopefully headed for Valparaiso Chile before year's end.

Andunge is my second boat. I have been on board her for a little over a year. She is engineless, minimally outfitted, and I intend to circumnavigate aboard her.
My first boat, was a 1966, full keel, 28' Abbott.
That boat sailed great and I enjoyed her for a bit over 10 years. That said, she was a complicated nightmare in my opinion. Her systems needing constant maintenance which I was unwilling to humor any longer as I would rather be sailing. Hence the purchase of a new boat that is so simple that she rarely requires anything other than someone's presence to enjoy her.
Big believer in the Go Simple Go Now philosophy.
That is my gig in a nutshell.
Thanks again for the great board.
