Cruising World — Wendy Mitman Clarke

In 2007, Cruising World hired me to write a monthly column documenting the journey of my family as we transitioned from suburban life in Annapolis, Maryland, to the vagabond lives of fulltime cruising sailors. This assignment ended up being more than 60 columns over five years, along with some feature stories too.
