Sail-the-Channel Crew
Marc and Monica sailed Songline across three oceans between 1998 to 2004 and had a lot of fun along the way. The voyage was very much a family affair. Their son Joel, who was just 12 years old when they left, also sailed with them, as did their pet poodle, Jackie.
Marc and Monica are eager to share with you the joy of cruising as well as the many lessons they learned along the way
