Alex Jasper went to live aboard sailing school for her 40th birthday. She then started sailing on New England lakes in the summer. After waking up one morning at anchor on a 16’ boat in Lake Champlain, she was hooked. In 2017, she started sailing a 32’ catamaran in Rhode Island and southern New England waters. Then, after racing for a year in California, she pointed her own bow south and headed down the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway to the Bahamas. Who knows what is next?
