He and Jim are preparing to leave for a 12–16-month sail on their 41-foot catamaran. They will start in Tortola and sail south down the Windward Islands to Trinidad. From there, they will head across the top of South America, through the Panama Canal, and to the Galapagos Islands. If all goes well, they will turn around and head back by way of the east coast of Central America. Both are avid scuba divers and learned to sail in order to have more opportunities to dive. Richard hopes to make it to his 30th reunion.
