Livia sends out a list of ten questions to cruisers who have cruised outside of their home country for at least two years and each week publishes an interview on her website.

Livia asked us to participate. Gwen Hamlin immediately got on the ball and answered her ten questions. (Perhaps this will inspire me to do the same…)

This week Livia published Gwen’s answers to her ten questions.

What did Livia ask Gwen? Here are a few of the questions:

• What (if anything) do you wish someone had told you before you started cruising?
• Share a piece of cruising etiquette
• How did you (or did you) gain offshore experience prior to leaving?
• When have you felt most in danger and what was the source?
• Where was your favorite place to visit and why?

You can read all ten questions and Gwen’s answers here: Tackless II answers 10 questions on the Interview With A Cruiser website.

Thanks Livia, for a great website! And thanks, Gwen for your thoughtful answers.
