About Me:
Tall ship schooner sailor for 10 years in Key West....sailing is my passion but for now sailing in my dreams usually at least 3 nights a week! I`m raising my son in a liberal Ohio village-home of Antioch College...I teach English to Spanish-speaking kids...love blue water, coves, nature, animals, kids, growing things, laughing, good wine and food, music, arts, culture, remote places, speaking Spanish, the wind... I`ve been in 40 foot seas and now am sometimes in those same seas teaching inner city children...long to get back into sailing...
Current location:
Yellow Springs, Ohio
Destinations visited:
Florida Keys, Florida coast, Bahamas-Cat Cay, Bimini, HighborneCay, Staniel Cay, Great Exuma-Georgetown, Great Inagua, Port Antonio, Jamaica, Fiji, New Caledonia, Sydney, Australia, Bay of Islands, New Zealand, Cuba, and Dry Tortugas...there are more but these are by boat...
Looking to:
Make new friends who share my love for sailing-I could vicariously sail through your experiences! You can take the girl away from the sea, but you can`t take the sea out of the girl...fair winds and full holds...Cathleen

    Hi I think that I found you. When are you going to come and take me away from all this?

    Hi, I haven't really figured out how everything works here. I was just saying hello back. Me puedo hablar espanol tambien. Pero cuando quiero hablar yo hablo solomente Ceka. (Czech) No he hablado espanol en hace 20 anos. for some reason my mind only allows two languages in my brain at a time. so all my spanish was replaced by Czech. (I was living there for about 15 years.)

    Is everything we write on public display on this site? I wanted to send you my email address. Well I don't think that anyone is all that excited to see my address. It's leemalis1959@gmail.com. I'm not that great at figuring out the site and how it works.

    Talk to you soon,

    Hi Cathleen. Thanks for the kind comment. Being a sailor in the notheast it helps to have pictures to look at to get through the winter season. I cannot wait to get back out on the water....soon!

    I have been teaching in Florence during the spring. Have been a professor at Kent State since I moved up here from Texas in the mid-eighties. Love my job! Italy is wonderful...

    Wow! First you lose your schooner, now it appears as though Antioch is tossing in the towel. You need to get back on the water!

    We seem to be getting a small Ohio group of sailors together. Charles has already suggested a sail, so perhaps we could pick a weekend to take Glisse out.

    Maybe we'll find a couple more interested Ohioans.
    I have a small double quarter berth, suitable for two *very* friendly people but really better for one. One port and one starboard berth in the saloon and a good sized double v-berth. If your son is old enough, he certainly would be welcome as well.

    Hi, Not many places to sail near Yellow Springs, no wonder you have to do it in your dreams. I sail my Bayfield 25 in Lake Erie when the water is not hard. I sometimes think I should move south to were you can sail all year long.

    Hi ScurveyWench,
    I've been to Key West a few times myself.
    Did you know Callee Frith Manning?
    He ex: hubby Chris(?) was on one of those Cats in Key West.
    Callee is back in Bermuda with her son.
    Just curious...

    You have done the type of sailing that I would like to experience, but never will. I'm destined to sail the Chesapeake Bay. Not complaining, but I'd love to see those 40 foot seas.

  • PCarrico

    I'll dig up Callee's email address soon.
    It's on another computer.
