Ally Mantey's Adventure Story:
Learning to Sail in Landlocked Alberta

Allyson was a once corporate-chic who realized in her early 30's that the dream to climb the corporate ladder was not for her.

Despite growing up on the East-Coast of Canada, she had never sailed before. A t the age of 34, she decided to buy a 26 foot trailorable sailboat, "Seaweasel," with her husband Steve.

In the 5 years following, they travelled in their boat and on their friend's boats around Alberta, British Columbia, Montana, the Caribbean & Mexico while they slowly learned the ropes (actually called lines) and began to fall in love with the sport and sense of community that exists around sailing.

It was on their 10 day passage down the Baja from San Diego to Cabo that they realized maybe a live-aboard life on a sailboat was the perfect way to travel and live a life filled with off the beaten track adventures.
