Danika and Sten 

        We are Sten and Danika.  We met in the spring of 1995, at an intercollegiate sailing regatta.  Racing against each other was fun, but climbing into a boat together one weekend in Chicago three years later was a disaster - neither of us was willing to be crew for the other's skipper.  We didn't race together again until the summer of 2006.  In the meantime, we moved from Chicago to Boston, got married, and, somewhere along the way, figured out that cruising provided a better platform for us to enjoy being on the water together.  So now, Sten keeps the systems running while Danika keeps the blender going as we travel the world on our sailboat.  Welcome aboard.
