A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

Published: 12 April 2022

In lieu of writing anymore website articles at this time, given that she is so far behind on these, Elaine decided that the best way to tell the story of our ongoing sailing adventures on Paw Paw, besides our daily blogs, is using pictures; more specifically videos. We trust you will enjoy this new format moving forward. All videos can be found under the VIDEO option above.
