Tenacious
A Wheelchair Accessible Square-rigger


Imagine trying to roll a wheelchair on a ship's deck when the ship is pitching, yawling, and rolling (moving in 3 dimensions) and moving forward while it is listing. Whoever thought that putting a wheelchair on a sailing vessel was a good idea, must have been crazy and I want to thank him for that.








Notice the safety strap I'm wearing. I'm also wearing a detachable hood that my mother got for me for skiing. Works great for sailing too. Thanks mom.

Canary Islands Lions Club
We couldn't get a flight out when we wanted, so Helen, our travel agent, hooked us up with two of the Lions Clubs on the island. Here we are in the lower mess of the Tenacious, planning our trip ashore. That's Captain John Fisher next to me. They were great - they arranged transportation, took us to Loro Parque, took us to dinner, then for a tour of the casino district. They taught us about the local culture, foods, and, in general, were great people.
