Welcome to Sails and Grace ... the home of a woman sharing her journey of sailing thanks to the grace of many amazing humans.

In a previous life, I was blessed to serve the freelance business community through the creation of the largest local-specific freelance business project community in Austin, The Freelance Conference, National Freelance Business Week which occurs the third week of April every year as well as the Freelancers Choice Awards. Now, it’s time for my next chapter … and the rest of my story to unfold. 

I purchased a 1987 Pearson 27 on a local lake to practice sailing and share the experience with others who need a sailing vessel to practice.

Here is where I will chronicle my adventures renovating my sailboat, sailing trips, instruction, and retreats. If that wasn't enough, I've found my favorite space in the big industry of sailing is helping people learn how to charter their own sailboats to explore the water on their own terms :)
