FEATURE STORY: SUMMER SAILSTICE A HIT WITH ASA MEMBERS
“
I
n my 56 years, I honestly
believe this to have been my
best holiday ever!” said John
Gialanella after returning from his
first American Sailing Week with
ASA during their Summer Sailstice
celebrations in Antigua. For anyone
who loves sailing, it’s hard to
imagine not liking it even more if
you get to do it for nine days in a
tropical paradise. John and the
almost 100 other ASA members and
guests celebrating sailing in Antigua
were part of the larger global
celebration of sailing taking place
around the world for Summer
Sailstice.
The 2007 Summer Sailstice was
the seventh year of a celebration of
life under sail.

LIVING THE DREAM • KYLE AND KATHY HARRIS
L
ike many people, my wife and I dreamed of
someday purchasing a sailboat and embarking
on a life of visiting exotic anchorages in distant
places. And like many people, we knew that the
dream was only a distant possibility for someday in
the future.
Only in retirement, if our health remained good and
our income adequate, could we foresee that the
dream might become a reality.
