A short history of SV Companion -
In April of 2005, Kim and I signed an agreement to purchase a Leopard Catamaran and place it in the Moorings Charter Program for 5 years.

Buying the last 40' Catamaran built in 2005 by Robinson and Caine of South Africa, the boat was to be chartered in Placencia, Belize. It arrived in Belize in late November, and was used by Moorings Chartering until June of 2010. During that time, we were able to sail our boat many times, and have a few charters in other parts of the world; LaPaz Mexico, Abaco Bahama, British Virgin Islands, Nice France, Gocek Turkey (Turquoise Coast).

Max , our nephew and his dad, Mike will be joining, Kim and I for part of the voyage. We are also looking forward to meeting family and friends along the way.

Our blog is intended to share our journey, memories and information to sailors.

Enjoy, Dale & Kim

PS: 10 years after the start of our voyage, we are living in LaConner with SV Companion and the adventure continues.

Emily .... one of a kind!!

Girls ... gotta love’em!!  Especially our Em  ..... “Why does Andy get his own blog posting?” ... all in good fun she asks.  It doesn’t take much to know that Em is special ...  and yes, I agree – she should have her own posting!!

“Sailing” thru life with Em has always been remarkable .... 
she knows how to have fun ....


and yet is content to be quiet ....

a good listener  .... she is able to think things thru  .....

a great sister, friend, daughter .... she loves unconditionally!



and granddaughter .... learning Grandma's secret recipes!!



her sweetness comes thru .....



Em has a passion for people!!    Life is her “oyster” .... 



We are excited to share life’s adventures with Emily and Kyle as they begin their journey!!  This is gonna be good!!!


Sailing into their "adventures" !!! July 16, 2011 ... life is good for Em (and Kyle!)
