The anticapation of a new destination, how exciting is that? The planning, preparing, navigating, and the journey. And you get to take friends with you!

ABOUT THE CREW:
Gary, skipper, has to be in charge! Navigates anything that floats, flys or drives. Pat, first mate, good looking and what a great cook too! Rob and Julia, best friends and deck hands anywhere! Even if they are sailboaters. They live on the bay in SF with their boat in the backyard!

PREVIOUS BOATS OWNED:
Hobies to cruisers, ski boats to kayaks, too many but always looking for the next one.

INTEREST IN THE FUBAR ODYSSEY:
Most important is meeting new boaters. After reading an article from the 2007 FUBAR and one of participants stated it was the best experiance of his life, we desided we wanted to have that experiance. We always learn something on a trip, I'm certain this will be one to remember!
