Together since high school in the New Orleans, LA area we have raised a beautiful daughter, Erica. Erica started LSU August, 2010 and we're now empty nesters. We are ready for a new adventure! Ken is a home builder and I am a real estate agent. We we will close our businesses, sell the house and everything with it, and prepare for another life's chapter by cruising the tropics on our sailboat, Nirvana. We've never sailed before purchasing our Catalina 30, and we have a lot to learn before we set sail!
Ken is a Leo ... independent, creative, ambitious, honorable, and strong-willed. He does not like dull, regular routines and needs to feel like he's accomplished something at the end of the day. Cheryl is a true Scorpio ... determined, intuitive, passionate, and although seemingly calm and sometimes withdrawn there is always an intense emotional energy under the exterior. She's a Scorpio and a redhead, so don't get her mad ... LOL! Both of us are honest, responsible, frugal, and hard-working... meaning that our word means everything to us and we do our best to keep it. Unfortunately, not enough people live by this belief anymore, but that's another story. However, we have a feeling that the cruising community will not disappoint! We've never been materialistic nor worried about keeping up with the Jones'. The Jones' usually aren't what they appear to be anyway! To us, a fulfilling life does not come from what you have, but from what you've done. We both have a good sense of humor and enjoy meeting new people. We have a zest for life and a yearning for adventure and new experiences. We're ready to trade our responsibilities in for a Margarita and tropical waters! Look for us around 2012-2013 ... we'd love to meet you in the cruising world!
We need to sort through past pictures before the days of digital cameras, but here's what we have for now.

The pictures right up top are a collage from our June, 2009 Hawaiian trip to Oahu and Maui. We went with four other couples and it also happened to be our 20th anniversary. We stayed at the Outrigger Reef in Waikiki, where we all renewed our vows on the beach. The Outrigger Reef provides a free vow renewal ceremony twice a week. So guys, if you want to do something great for your significant other... hint, hint. Great time, and the place where the cruising seed was planted! The collage below is from the vow renewal ceremony. More pictures of Hawaii are in our album.
