Her family moved to the U.S. when she was 16 years old, and settled in Baltimore County, Maryland. After meeting her husband, David, while on vacation in the Bahamas, the couple married and settled in Maryland where their daughters, Meghan and Laura, were born. Sailing on the family’s first sailboat, Pleiades, Elli became more and more comfortable with the idea of an extended sailing adventure, something her husband had always dreamed about. Now that both their daughters are in college, the couple has returned to sailing in their beloved Chesapeake Bay, with future sailing plans that include the Abacos, Cuba, and Bermuda. The family’s adventure on Wind of Peace continues to be a favorite topic of discussion, and Elli has no doubt that she and her husband will one day return to life on the water.ver menos
