Meet Marianne, my littlest sister. Last year my middle sister Roxanne joined us aboard S/V San San, on our trip to Central America. We had specific cruising plans at that time but right now we are pretty content just hanging out. Marianne, my youngest sister, is 21 years old. She has been here almost 2 weeks now and so far she's checked off a couple of boxes on her list of "firsts" including 1st Dinghy Ride and 1st Boat Ride! Marianne is a budding traveler eager to get more stamps in her passport. Her first trip was to Ireland with some girlfriends in November 2010.
Being the fair skinned, red head that she is, it's taking her some time to soak up the sun. I've warned her to take it easy because in this Florida sun one can be fried in a matter of minutes. There is nothing worse than seeing the European tourists walking around like lobsters, sporting odd splotches of red on their thighs and/or backs. Generally speaking she's here for a vacation but in about a month she's going to look for some work around town.
Gia is really enjoying having her Aunt around and I am so anxious to get her to the beautiful Bahama waters to show her what cruising is ALL about! I know how lucky I am to have been able to have this kind of sister time, not once but twice! Slowly but surely it is my goal to corrupt my WHOLE family until they are all "hooked" on boating!
(Commence Evil Laughter) Mwah ha ha ha ha!

Sounds like your sister is really lucky to have family that can "corrupt" her into the cruising lifestyle .. LOL! I wish we had been corrupted, but looks like we'll also be the "corrupters" (is that a word) in our family as well, starting with our 20-year old daughter!
