| Stolen Kiss Blog - Cheryl and Peter Ainsworth |
In January 2008, Cheryl Ainsworth wrote: I have been a member at FSC for 14 years. Although I
had my own yachts during that time, I was mainly involved in offshore racing and did not cruise often. My husband and
I have also worked as volunteers in different capacities during our time. In 2003 we departed Fremantle on our yacht
and have been cruising SE Asia and the Indian Ocean ever since. We are currently in Kota Kinabalu and plan to cruise
the Philippines in a week or so. I have been working on putting our website together and thought that there may be
some cruising folk interested. |
