My boat&#8217;s name, ALNILAM, means &#8220;String of Pearls&#8221; in Arabic, and refers to the middle star in the belt of the constellation Orion. She was built in 1965 and is a 35&#8242; long sloop. For those who are interested, she is a Magellan 35 designed by Eldredge and McGinnis, built by Robert Newton &amp; Sons in Hong Kong. I enjoy having friends aboard for offshore passages but do most of my coastal sailing single handed. Have done several solos Miami to Abaco.<\/p>\n<p>I live at anchor in Abaco about a quarter of a mile from shore. This means that no matter what I decide to do on land I first have to get there in a dinghy. I generate my own electricity with solar panels (have not needed the back up wind generator for years). This whole site was originally designed and coded at sea. I catch my own water, and only occasionally have to carry water from the well at the horse Preserve. In the past I always had two dogs on board, sometimes three but that&#8217;s been impractical lately and they all live at the Preserve now. I try to be vegan but sometimes I fail, briefly. I try to live lightly on the planet. I know I don&#8217;t always succeed, I use epoxy and fiberglass and other not so friendly materials but my home&#8217;s heart is wood, and I hope that I&#8217;ve minimized my impact.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Why:<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; line-height: 24px; font-size: 16px;\">My abiding passions, through all the changes in my life, have been the sea and my home upon it; trying to help support all the glorious life forms that homo sapiens is destroying. Everything is now devoted to the effort to provide a safe home and future for the Wild Horses Of Abaco and the other animals on Abaco that need \u00a0help.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Milanne Rehor. \u00a0I have a B.A. in Philsophy from Connecticut College for Women.
