Jill, we actually looked at a Grampian before we bought Filthy Oar! It looks like we have both come a long way! :)

I had a similar experience as you, with a husband who grew up on the water and boating. I had no experience when we bought our first sailboat, a Grampian 26.
The first time we sailed was very windy, when that boat heeled over I really thought we were going to die! I still get a little nervous on very windy days, but we are on our second sailboat, a Gulfstar 37.

If I could stop laughing long enough, I would feel a little empathy for your phobias while transitioning into a sailor. Girl, you crack me up to the point that I had to stop reading for a minute. Wonderful story. You brought us there and put is right in the midst of the tumultuous travels. Congrats on your new adventure and it appears that you have embarked on a journey to live a beautiful life with your Captain Ken.
