Prior to Jenny Norman coming into our lives, we both spent a
great deal of time crewing aboard traditionally rigged schooners
in Maine and beyond. Mike began sailing in his hometown of
Baltimore aboard the Skipjack Minnie V in 1993. He soon
discovered crewing on the Windjammers in Penobscot Bay and
soon thereafter found himself aboard the Pride of Baltimore II on
her passage from Korea and Japan back to the west coast of the
United States, through the Panama Canal and finally back home
to Baltimore. Along the way he has spent yard periods
apprenticing under more experienced carpenters eventually
readying him for the rebuild of Jenny Norman.

A Native Mainer, Julie first began sailing aboard the three-masted schooner Victory
Chimes, the day after graduating from the University of New Hampshire in 1995 with a
BA in Botany. From there opportunities came to sail aboard other schooners in various
places including the eastern seaboard, the gulf coast and around the Hawaiian Islands.
Currently Julie balances a small massage practice at a local chiropractic clinic and
running Jenny Norman with being Mom.
Our sweet baby, Lily, was born on March 3, 2005 after our second season with Jenny
Norman. These days we love sailing with our guests in the best weather of our Maine
summers and spending our evenings and the off-season at home in our little 1800's
farmhouse in the country. We look forward to sailing with you!
