FIRST MATE

It wasn’t just skyding I was falling in love with in 1987 but also the cute guy who kicked my butt out of that DO 27 back in Germany. I officially joined Team Schulz when I said “Yes” three years later and it has been an adventure ever since then. After a few years in the air, we shifted our activities to earth and started motor biking. With fire being a given in our relationship we were only missing the element of water to complete the circle of life.
After immigrating to Canada in 2000, we started to get our feet wet on our 26 McGregor “Stemar Tormic”on Lake Wabamun in Alberta. Having spent three years in Melbourne, Australia, we moved back to Canada in 2016 and settled in Vancouver. There was no opposition when I suggested to purchase a boat instead of a house and the rest is history – or how I call it “creating memories”.

Who would have thought? Here we are, more than thirty years later and still having fun together.
Even living in Edmonton we tried to incorporate a week of sailing on the West Coast in our annual vacation plan. I took several courses including an ocean sailing week that sparked the idea of participating in the Vic-Maui race in 2016, just a few weeks after our return from Melbourne. Since then we have spent a number amazing evenings and weekends cruising the waters of British Columbia.
