being posted. With three sisters and one brother, she came from a closely knit family. At the age of 13 the family returned to Folkestone, where Wendy attended the local Folkestone Grammar School for Girls.
In 1964 Wendy married and later had three children, Kim, David and Sharon. Wendy’s career was eventually as the assistant to an offi ce accountant in a well known Chartered Surveyors practice, where she was later to be appointed Regional Controller. After divorcing her first husband, she was introduced by a work colleague to his friend, Robin. Before too long they found that they got on extremely well and began seeing each other on a regular basis. One day Robin called to take Wendy out, and whilst talking to her daughter Kim, he said that he was taking her mum out in his boat. “Mum, in a boat“, exclaimed a shocked Kim, “she doesn’t like boats or water.”
Well, that was the introduction to boating and to a complete change of life. This also included marriage to a fantastic man, and a project that Wendy hoped both sailing enthusiasts and general readers will be interested in, especially those looking for inspiration for their own big adventures.view less
