LA and Susan Wyatt
Married since 1979, we have always enjoyed the outdoors. Camping, fishing, hunting, scuba diving, motorcycling....we led an active life. After scuba diving the Caribbean extensively in the 80's, we got interested in sailing after learning to sail on a friend's Catalina 34 on the Gulf Coast. Although we had many fishing boats in the past, we had never owned a sailboat. We studied and looked at many sailboats for ten years.
In 1997, we purchased our sailboat "Genesis", a Shannon 38 Cutter, in Martha's Vineyard. We took a one year sabbatical and cruised along the West coast of Florida, the Florida Keys, and the Dry Tortugas. After returning to work for ten years to save money for retirement, we finally began to realize our dream to travel extensively on a sailboat. LA retired in January 2007 and worked throughout 2007 and through April 2008 to get Genesis ready for long-distance cruising. Susan retired at the end of December 2007 and helped LA finish the final projects and provision the boat. It has been a long journey to this point (May 2008) and we are excited that we are going to start our cruising life together.
We thank you for your interest in us and hope you will find that our website will provide some insight and knowledge about the cruising lifestyle and its many adventures. Feel free to e-mail us with questions at wyattsailing@yahoo.com.
