Captain Jennifer MacLean will also be featured in a coffee table book called Women and the Sea that is coming out in August. We will let you know when the book comes out and where you can purchase it. Thank you to my fiance Jeff, my friends, family and sailing students for helping me make my dreams come true.

Jenn- You are a goddess! Your ability to relate to your students-as a teacher, mentor, friend and fun instigator is remarkable. A million Mercis for taking me on this physical, mental, emotional journey from princess to pirate. I was nervous about all o fthis and every day you showed me there was nothing to fear but myself. How I can't wait to get back to Melbourne and show my stuff to other sailors. Keep the faith Mama. Merci, merci, merci. " Love Nancy, FL.

Jenn- I can't tell you how grateful I am, not only for your teaching skills but for your friendship. AS a student, I always felt a sense of peace and confidence coming from you which transferred into me- I thank you for that! As a friend you inspire me to new heights-thank you! I look forward to sailing with you in the future, both as a captain and crew! Your the best Mama!" Kim, FL
