• Favorite Travel Memory: My husband Curtis and I were sailing a catamaran during Cyclone Zorbas in Greece and foolishly tried to outrun the storm. We eventually turned back toward port, tails between our legs, only to find ourselves unable to dock in the wind and rain. Out of the darkness, a local fisherman appeared and helped us safely tie off. It’s a moment that’s stayed with me, not because of the adventure, but because of the unexpected kindness of a stranger.
