Signe and Jan Twardowski left Gig Harbor, Wash., on July 21 to sail to California (summer and fall), Mexico (winter), and then across the Pacific (French Polynesia, Tonga, Fiji, New Zealand, etc.) for a few years. Jan reports that he is merely the capt., however, and the commodore will make her own decision about the actual extent of the trip. Jan has just retired from Frank Russell Co. He said that he doesn’t feel that old, just ready to enjoy life a lot more. Time really is the most valuable commodity. Someone warned him that everyone runs his retirement with the same level of intensity that he ran his working life, which seems true in Jan’s case. Moving into the 21st century, Jan has established a great website for the excursion: http://www.ravencruise.com. He can be reached at jtwardo@harbornet.com.
