Floyd Pushelberg and Christine McCartney
We have called Ottawa our home for over 40 years. We have done a little bit of sailing and power boating over the years and always enjoyed being on the water.
In the winter of 2022-23 Floyd was reading a book on retirement planning when the idea of getting into sailing as part of a retirement lifestyle of leisure, hobby and social activities was devised.
