NWSA Member of the Month
Anne Bryant is the NWSA Member of the Month for March, as well as the She Sailor Sea Story host in March.
Anne sails out of Benjamin River, Eggemoggin Reach, Penobscot Bay. Thinking about the magic of sailing, Anne wrote, “Sailing is using a boat as an augmentation to the human body—we are land creatures, and this glorious prosthetic helps us move gracefully in an otherwise unforgiving medium.”
It was near-coastal cruising that I was most interested in pursuing, and I wouldn’t make a very good racer. Not only am I too distracted by the lure of new places to see with all their museums, libraries, cemeteries, and pubs, but I also tend to love heavy and beamy wooden working boats. They take good care of me, and I of them.”
A few years back Anne moderated the chat and hosted a couple of the Maiden panel discussions called Maiden Mondays. “Working with Tracey Edwards as well as former and present crew during this Women Who Sail and NWSA collaboration was a true honor. “I’ve also hosted and told stories for She Sailor Sea Story, which is great fun and I hope I get to do it again sometime,” said Anne. (See above, Anne is host on Friday night March 15!)
Anne invites you to check out her personal project. She says, “After working on other people’s projects for a good long time, I have started my own YouTube channel called From Pine to Palm, and would be honored by your click of the subscribe button. Also, keep an eye out for Stories from the Stage on the WORLD channel—I told the story of my first cruise with Doc Pearson on the stage at WGBH in Boston which will air sometime this year.
