It's the Real Thing!

I haven't met Anne and Al Davidson in person yet but I can tell, without a doubt, that these two know how to REALLY enjoy boating - especially on their 28' 1972 Columbia, "Fair Dinkum"

But it's not all wine and cheese with this crew. They enjoy sailing to places like Cape Lookout to count dolphins and recently took a windjammer trip to Maine.

Al started sailing when he was 13 and has crewed on a couple sailboat deliveries as far South as Tortola BVI.

Anne officially became a sailor lady when she said, "I do" about five years ago! She may proclaim that she is a fair weather sailor but I have it from a reliable source who assures me that she is no sissy on a rough weather day.

Both Anne and Al live and work here in Wilmington. Al is over at Corning and Anne is at New Hanover Regional Health. With long term plans to retire in Downtown Wilmington, mooring at Sawmill will give them and the Fair Dinkum even more time to enjoy Downtown while they wait!
