While sailing offshore is Captain Jen's favorite place, she loves being on the water and boats no matter where the location. She has cruised with her husband on their own boats for many years, including six years of cruising across the Pacific to New Zealand and back with their family of four. After completing her first delivery captain job, Captain Jen realized that she is even more eager to stay on the water and show others just how wonderful sailing and cruising can be.
