Home - The Crew
The sailing vessel Squiz was home to Alan,
Katherine, and Squiz (the cat). Wally, Pierre,
Amy, and Mark have
participated as part-time crew.
 |
This web site (and eventually my boat) was named after Squiz: my laid
back, pampered, fat ship's cat.
In February 2003 I shipped my boat to the Caribbean and decided
to occasionally return to the USA to earn money. So, in order
to have a reliable home, Squiz moved to s/v Dry Martini
- where Jane and Jimmie are now her servants.

Alan is
the boat owner, navigator, tactician, mechanic, and webmaster.
Shameless plug: I am a freelance usability consultant, web site designer, and Windows software developer.
If you need any of these talents, please see www.UsableResults.com for additional information. |

Katherine is the
principle deck monkey and sail handler, chef extrordinaire,
wood refinishing guru, boat beauty, and chief of protocol. |

Crew |
| Amy joined us in Nuevo Vallarta
for the journey to Mazatlan. She is a living encyclopedia of
popular culture and a master schlepper. Beware, Amy is a bad
influence on dinghies. |

Wally joined us for
the first ten days of the voyage, from Portland OR to Sidney
BC. He returned in late August for the voyage down the northwest
coast. Wally provided valuable and intelligent assistance to
most aspects of our journey. His handy engineering skills resurrected
our dinghy outboard from a near-death coma. |
| Pierre
joined us in Neah Bay for the southward journey to Eureka California.
His amiable demeanor and enthusiasm — for everything from
standing watch in the fog to assaulting tuna with a lethal weapon
— is inspirational. |

Mark (Alan's brother)
helped Alan to sail from Mazatlan to Puerto Vallarta in December
of 2002. As soon as Mark gets over the strange desire to sleep
at night, he will be a great sailor. |
