Veteran Pacific cruisers (we sailed out San Francisco’s Golden Gate on our first cruise in 1981,) and well-known sailing photographers and authors, we are also avid fishers and raced regularly in local fleets. We have thousands of blue water miles under our keels (didn't tie to a dock for 4 years) and are Commodores in the Seven Seas Cruising Association. For years, boating has been our life aboard our teak 1961 Hugh Angelman Sea Witch, (see Sea Witch link to left) Southern Cross.

As Realtors for many years, we acted as fiduciaries for countless home sellers and to the best of our knowledge, we are the only yacht/boat brokers in Hawaii who passed all licensing requirements to act as fiduciaries for yacht sellers in California as well. By keeping Aloha Yachts small, local and detail oriented, we provided unequaled personal professional service. As part of that service, we also “watched” boats for owners on the mainland and arranged cleaning, repairs, maintenance, etc

.We left Hawaii in June, 2007 to cruise again and spent 13 months at Fanning Island (click link to left) and then sailed through the Northern Cooks, Samoa, Northern Tonga and finally arrived in New Zealand December 1, 2008. Our Sea Witch served us extraordinarily well throughout the journey and we remained in New Zealand for the Southern ocean cyclone season. We also, not without some regrets, are put our venerable classic yacht, Southern Cross, up for sale and flew to California May 2009 to renovate our 105-year-old historical site in San Diego.

On August 31st, Angelman aficionados, Ed and Stacy McDonald, bought our wonderful old Sea Witch so we are officially "between boats." On September 3rd, we drove to northern California, found a wonderful Board and Care Home and moved our 87-year-old mother. Whew! Then rushed back to San Diego to pack and hop on a plane to NZ on Sept. 19th to offload all our stuff from Southern Cross. After 20 years living aboard, we have no idea where we will put the stuff or where we will live.
