Amy did a little bit of sailing as a child aboard her father’s Butterfly and Windsurfer. In the early 1990s, Amy became a volunteer crew member on the barkentine, Gazela, of Philadelphia. Amy fell in love with the seagoing life while climbing the rigging to furl and unfurl square sails on this old wooden vessel.
