Robin Barone is an occasional contributor and regular reader of The Glass Hammer and when she asked me to publish her invitation to go sailing this summer I hesitated. We always talk about networking and about being a community, so I decided to publish the invitation on her behalf. Incidentally, I met Robin while skiing in Whistler and when I told her about The Glass Hammer she instantly became a reader. Friends, clients, vendors and mentors can be found in such situations, living proof that The Glass Hammer facilitates a natural community and that we are all connected with common interests, work related and otherwise.
We also want to hear from you in the trenches as guest bloggers.
The trip- Sailing around Croatian Islands hosted by Robin Barone
For the week of August 31st our home will be the Oceanis 473, a 47 foot sailboat based out of Dubrovnik. Our sail boat is a part of a flotilla leaving Dubrovnik the week of August 31st. (Essentially our boat is a part of a group of boats with a leader!) I have hired a captain to taking care of the trip. Assistance is voluntary. We are able to board our new home by 6pm on Sunday. On Monday morning we awake for orientation, safety discussions, and then head out until Saturday evening. Our current itinerary includes visiting the island of Sipan, Mijiet, Korcula, and Kobas. Mornings are spent sailing. Afternoons are spent lounging and exploring. Evenings are for dining in the local tavernas and socializing with other flotilla members (optional).
The current shipmates are a group of fun loving, adventuresome women between the ages of 28 to 36 years. Coincidentally we are all avid travelers, skiers, and life lovers! Everyone is connected through me and their interest in this trip. It wasn’t intended to be all women but two of the men fell overboard when it was time to commit. As for myself – I am a Philadelphia turned NY’er, the ever doer, thinker, and creator. I currently work in real estate finance.
We are currently searching for 2 more shipmates to complement our group. There is a cost and I would be happy to talk directly with you about that. The four of us have booked tickets to arrive in Dubrovnik on August 29th.
If you are interested in joining please contact me at curlyrobin@yahoo.com and I can send you full details.
