About me
Leroy Lewis grew up in Northern Maryland, where he began sailing at age eleven on the Chesapeake Bay and nearby lakes, developing an early fascination with maritime history.After a 39-year career in engineering at Boeing, he returned more fully to that lifelong passion through wooden boats.
He and his wife, Betty, own Arianna, a 1970 Grand Banks Alaskan 46, and have cruised extensively throughout the Pacific Northwest and the Inside Passage, including a 2024 voyage to Alaska. Wooden boat ownership has become both a practical education and a philosophical journey in stewardship, responsibility, and continuity.
