Reader's Corner: Learn the basics of sailboat life

Have you ever wondered what it might be like to live aboard a sailboat? Even if you haven’t, the idea is intriguing, isn’t it! To hear about sailboat life directly from people who have done it, mark your calendar now for the August 14 Learning on Wednesday session at Kimberling Area Library: “Living Aboard a Sailboat in the Caribbean,” presented by “the Captains,” Lisa and Dudley Gibbs.

 

After a career transfer to the Caribbean, previous years spent chartering in the islands, and receiving their U.S. Coast Guard licenses, Dudley and Lisa moved to Puerto Rico aboard their 44-ft. sailboat, “Tara.” They spent the next decade working and continuing to explore the island chain. Now housed in a marina slip, Tara is still maintained, sailed and often lived aboard by her “Captains.”

 

The Gibbs’ extensive experience will give you an appreciation and understanding of everything to consider before moving aboard a sailboat, the work involved to stay safe, and of course, all the wonderful benefits of living on the water. Whether your plans include living on a boat or not, anyone who has an adventurous spirit and loves exploring will enjoy this presentation while learning what it takes to enjoy a safe and fun voyage.

 

This fun and engaging presentation will occur Wednesday, August 14, at 10:15 a.m. in the Kimberling Area Library Community Room. Coffee and light snacks are provided; prior registration is not required, and attendance is free for this informal community event.
