I crewed for Terry when together we didn´t meet the weight requirement and had to carry bottles of water. She was great!

Kathryn and Gillian, my sympathy on Terry´s death. She was one of the earliest people to encourage me sailing instead of sitting onshore waiting for my husband. Really good times with Terry and Maggie Sennett.
