Living Life Artfully

It seems as if it was only a few years ago when Tiburon residents Steve and Dorothy Darden launched their Morrelli & Melvin-designed 52-ft catamaran Adagio in New Zealand. They cruised her in the Southern Hemisphere for a number of years, then sailed up to Alaska, around the Pacific Northwest, and back to the Southern Hemisphere. They particularly like Tasmania and New Caledonia.

We knew they’d been out cruising for years, but when we read about a watercolor show Dorothy is putting on at the Derwent Sailing Squadron in Hobart, Tasmania, we were shocked to learn they’ve been out for 17 years! Now in their mid-70s, they are still enjoying the catamaran they worked so hard to help design.

You can check out Dorothy’s watercolors at http://dorothydarden.com/shop/prints. The site also includes some great photos by Steve, particularly of whales in Alaska.
