A Final Farewell to Seabear

With deep sadness and a heart full of wonderful memories, I had to let Seabear go. The memories Lance and I have had with the S20 fleet from across the nation will never be forgotten; some of the best Lance and I had together. Seabear became part of our life as a wedding present 26 years ago. Lance taught me how to sail (not how to be competitive- I knew that already!) and our sailing campaign over the years brought us friendships that will last forever. Seabear is going to her new home in Corvallis, Oregon. I hope if you ever cross paths with Seabear on the water, you raise a glass (not the red flag!) and remember Lance. Thank you to all, my S20 family.
